Today we talk about life as a Scientist in The Science Life series. We all know that sometimes experiments fail. Sometimes the results are not what you were hoping for, or something goes wrong. BUT! Sometimes you have these experiments that just…… are cursed. And this is the story of one of those Cursed Experiments that will forever haunt me. But thank all the Science gods it has an happy ending.
Today we discuss the Science behind marathon running. Since Jayron is running a marathon in October we were really interested in learning more about this subject. With our major question: Is marathon running actually healthy??? Well the Science says IT’S NOT!!! In our episode, we discuss everything we have learned.
Today we discuss a paper by Wright et al., (2021) that has been recently promoted on the Nature facebook page, namely: Chest beats as an honest signal of body size in male mountain gorillas (Gorilla beringei beringei).
This paper explores the fascinating world of Gorilla chest beats. With over 3200 hours of Gorilla recordings, 5 years of extensive analysis and a Nature recommendation this must be a pretty amazing discovery right? RIGHT??
Today we talk about life as a Scientist in The Science Life series. This episode is about the first congress after Corona one of us went to. What was it like? Lets find out!
We are Suzanne and Jayron, two PhD students who love to talk about Science. We have decided to share our love for Science and our stories as a Scientist in the Struggling Scientists Podcast. Being a Scientist isn’t always easy and we hope to help other Scientists, anyone Science adjacent and perhaps even hobbyists with fun stories about Science.
