Don’t Talk About It, Be About It: The Experience of Black Scientists in Higher Education

Machines//Namek//KimuraGrip (Intro Tracks from Live Set @ Spokeeasy 4/21)

It’s springtime in California, which means wondering how early this year’s wildfire season will start. Should we be buying air purifiers and more masks? If you’re not in California, should you even pay attention to these stories? Immunologist Dr. Mary Prunicki says you absolutely should care, no matter where you live, and that air purifiers are, unfortunately, barely a band-aid solution to the smoky air. Learn about the surprising dangers of wildfire smoke to our health and environment, and what - if anything - you can do.

What You Can't See Can Hurt You

Climate change is here-- are we prepared? In this episode, three experts tackle the question of how best to armor ourselves against the changing tides of climate change. Should we genetically modify a species to make it more resistant to rising temperatures? Should we uproot plants threatened by soaring sea levels, or build a frozen zoo of coral sperm for future generations to resurrect? Join us and find out.

Dead Bones Do Tell Tales

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away... diligent scientists on Earth dedicated their lives to making groundbreaking discoveries, aiming to forge a brighter future for humanity. However, amidst this noble pursuit, a sinister presence emerges. Some scientists succumbed to the temptations of scientific fraud and turned to the dark of data manipulation and fabrication. 

Join us in the first installment of our two-part series: SciFact vs SciFraud, as we explore why some researchers in the scientific community forsaken the noble oath of pursuing truth and knowledge, and commit the irredeemable sin of scientific fraud. This episode features three distinguished experts: Dr. Elizabeth Bik, an image forensics expert who cracks down on image manipulations/duplications; Dr. Leif Nelson, an expert statistician and a Professor at UC Berkeley; Dr. Leonid Schneider, a scientific journalist who does excellent and rigorous reporting of scientific misconduct.

This episode is produced by Isaac Chang, Marilyn Steyert, Camila Benitez, and Cindy Liu. Music is from Blue Dot sessions. Cover art is generated by DALL-E. You can find the pdf transcript of this episode on carrytheoneradio.com

SciFact vs SciFraud Part I: Assault on Scientific Integrity

Carry the One Radio alum and recent UCSF Neuroscience graduate Dr. Anna Lipkin is on the other side of the mic to talk about how overlooking tiny aspects of the neuron lead to surprising gaps in what we know about the cells that make up our body.

Young Scientist Spotlight 23: Dr. Anna Lipkin

In the epic battle against scientific fraud, a courageous assembly of researchers stood united and rebelled against the dark forces of data manipulation and fabrication. Armed with powerful forensic and statistical tools, these heroes sought to vanquish all that is deceitful and guide the scientific community back to the path of righteousness. 

In the second installment of our two-part series: SciFact vs SciFraud, we explored the forensic and mathematical tools we have at our arsenal to detect signs of scientific fraud. This episode again features our image forensics expert, Dr. Elizabeth Bik and our expert statistician, Dr. Leif Nelson.
