Who would have thought that scientists can actually make a CT-Scan to see the “inner organs of the Earth”?
With seismic imaging scientists are looking inside the Earth trying to figure out what material is beneath our feet without digging a hole!
Lost in another ugly Facebook comments section? Online trolls and hate speech have unfortunately become commonplace encounters in our everyday lives. Our guest this week is the wonderful Annina Claesson (Twitter @AnninaClaesson, Instagram @thenannis), a grad student in Science Po in Paris and a freelance journalist and writer.
Welcome back to The Science Basement Podcast!
Yep, that’s right! We are back!
New team, new hosts, but same energy!
Our guest this week is Giuliano Didio, who is a PhD student at the Helsinki Institute of Life Science (HiLIFE) of the University of Helsinki. He works on the magical world of brains! Did you know that the common saying that kids learn things faster is actually true? That’s because the infant brain is very “plastic”. Listen to this episode to learn what brain plasticity is and how to increase brain plasticity in adults!
Our guest this week is Markku Alho, who is a PhD student at Aalto University. He works on plasma modelling of solar wind interactions with several bodies in space. In this episode, we focus mostly on the Moon and how the solar wind “bombards” its surface, but we also talk for example about Venus, Mars, and comets!
Our first episode about Social Sciences! Our guest this week is Anastasia Diatlova, who is a doctoral researcher in Sociology at the Faculty of Social Sciences of the University of Helsinki. Her research focusses on the daily experience of life and work of russian-speaking sex workers in Finland.
Our guest is Arnaud Praplan, who is an Academy Research Fellow at the Finnish Meteorological Institute (FMI). His research focusses on the reactive chemical compounds emitted by plants into the atmosphere and their oxidation reactions.
This episode is all about our star, the Sun! We chat with Diana Morosan, postdoctoral researcher in Solar Physics at the University of Helsinki.
