Avoid Being Scammed by the Wellness Industry with Special Guest Dr. Bernie Garrett
2021-07-20
46:02
The wellness industry makes more money than the pharmaceutical industry. Don't believe me? I didn't believe myself until we spoke with Dr. Bernie Garrett who has a new book The New Alchemists, available on July 29. With a PhD in Information Science and over 35 years clinical experience as a nurse, Dr. Garrett gives us some inside information about the often misleading wellness industry.

A new, relatively intact human skull from China was analyzed recently and the results are.. promising. Some scientists think we found a new species but others aren't so sure. While we wait for the experts to sort this out, let's take a look at some of the more interesting aspects of early human evolution! New Pokemon YouTube Channel!

SUMMER BREAK! Let's Revisit the Theory of Evolution (Season 1 Episode 2)
2021-07-06
27:13
We're on summer break this week (plus my brother just got married) so no new episode today. But, next week we're talking again about evolution so we thought this would be a good opportunity to do a quick refresher on the "theory" of evolution. This was our second ever episode and a lot has changed since we first recorded this. I did a little bit of editing to make the episode sound better, but there's only so much I could do. So, if things sound a bit weird or different, that's why. We were still very nervous and I knew less about audio editing than I do now (if you can imagine that). We hope you enjoy this really old episode and if you have any questions about evolution, be sure to let us know on social media! New Pokemon YouTube Channel!

Random Myths Everyone Has Heard But Aren't Actually True
2021-06-08
23:21
Everyone knows these myths but are they true? This week we're talking about myths like bulls hating the color red, women syncing their menstrual cycles, giving babies alcohol for teething, and hair of the dog as a cure for hangovers! They sound convincing, but the logic is flawed and we talk about why. Transcript New Pokemon YouTube Channel! Check out our brand new merch and score some sweet Jerry swag!

Deepfakes and the Growing Problem of Convincing Misinformation
2021-06-01
23:10
Videos can be really convincing. But what happens when the news report you're watching isn't real? Or the interview you heard about was faked? This isn't a conspiracy theory or something in the distant future. Deepfakes and tampering of videos is happening now with real world consequences. The rampant spread of misinformation and the growing issue of deepfakes needs to be addressed. Luckily, a group of researchers from Binghamton University teamed up with engineers at Intel to tackle this problem. Transcript New Pokemon YouTube Channel!

How Are Scientific Articles Published?

Did you know I'm a published researcher? That's right, I have my name on at least 6 published scientific studies and at least 1 book chapter. So this week, we're going to talk a little bit about the publishing process, review boards, the peer review process, and journal impact factors. We don't go into detailed information, I just wanted to give a little look behind the curtain about how studies make it into the world. I also had Army drill this weekend and I'm exhausted so I decided to do a low key episode. We have a regular episode scheduled for next week! New Pokemon YouTube Channel!
