Content

On this month's review crew, we each pick a subject that has something to do with science, research it, and try our best to explain it to the other hosts. If we get anything wrong, feel free to---wait, what am I saying? We recorded it so I already know that we didn't get anything wrong. Phew, bullet dodged there!

This upload is Huge news for my Sunday night

Daniel Kubank

Huge news for my Monday night cooking!

Kai

Physicist. Here. Great job guys loved all of it! Thanks for doing the research and getting after explaining it to viewers. Yall wanna know anymore indepth explains hit us up

Olivia

The Book of Eels is excellent! Just one additional vote for giving it a read if what Adal talked about interests you!

Charlotte Sandland

As a scientist who works in Boston’s biotech, I’m cackling 😂 y’all are doing awesome fr!! (Also JPC, when I tutored/TA’d Orgo in undergrad, I always told the kids orgo is a “group sport” and that in real life, you will always have access to google. If you can’t/don’t have time to google it, you’re probably dead anyway😅)

Tad Moore

As a science lover I was worried about this episode, but I found it lovely. I realized that what I hate is not people getting things wrong, but those who get it wrong and leave no room to learn and grow. For anyone that looking for a good book that explores what I find beautiful about science "A short history of nearly everything" by Bill Bryson

Thomas Flott

Thought Erin might be interested to know that we actually HAVE taken a picture of a black hole (the one in the center of our galaxy!), using the Event Horizon Telescope in 2019!

Joseph Grassi

This was great. I think this should be what the podcast is from now on. Hey Science Science

SarahGoose

This was one of my favorite episodes! Sorry it gave Erin so much dread but I think she explained it well. Don’t be so hard on yourself Erin. Both Adal and JPC’s topics were also very interesting too.

SarahGoose

It made me think of a podcast I also like a lot called Good Job Brain. They learn things and quiz each other for pub trivia topics. In case you, like me, have already listened to every episode of HRR 4 times and need something new check out there back catalog.

Christine Govas-Robert

I took an astronomy class a couple years ago and a frequent thought I had during that semester was, "Huh. Interstellar got it right."

Luke Bovard

Another physicist here who did a phd in computational astrophysics and knows a ton about black holes, Erin you did a fantastic job! My supervisor was one of the leads in taking the black hole picture and we read a bunch of those papers about Interstellar (yes there were scientific papers published about it!) since the same physics was used in the modelling.

Ron

Hate to be this guy, but as someone with a science degree I can't abide by the discussion at ~21min - JPC: Just one Puddle of Mudd song... *makes a noise from a Disturbed song* Is that it? Adal *sings a P.O.D song* JPC: Is that Staind? Adal: That might be Hoobastank. If you don't know what you're talking about then please just leave it out and get back to teaching us about helium, eels, and black holes.

GayWeiner420

Anybody who really digs this episode should check out 'Ologies' hosted my Allie Ward!

Cory!

It's very cool info about tiny black holes

Cory!

Ologies stressed me out because the ep on gender had really outdated info on how we talk about sex and gender

Bob Hopp

I loved this one! I'm sad that Erin's topic gave her existential dread, though. I feel like this could be a fun format without making any of the hosts feel bad, depending on the topics chosen. To me it has the vibes of the Dropout show Smartypants, only you did actual research.

Mitchell Crispi

I need Erin to guest on as many science podcasts as possible

Kayla Nollette

More of this please! It's got 'explain it to me like I'm 5 energy" and that's filling my cup,

Iona

me, at y'all talking about how this has the potential to make people The Most Mad: it's not like they'll pick one of the two topics I both give a shit about and know enough about to get mad about adal: so, EELS! me: fuck. To keep it short, (yes, this *is* the short version) adal, mate, *western* people didn't know about the eel lifecycle and were obsessed with their testicles. māori absolutely knew they grew from glass eels/elvers (and are also what cause the moon to wane in māori mythology!) And while the spawning grounds of the european eel were *precisely* located in 2022 and tracked and recorded, it was pretty much known what they did and where. Egg scattering is a common way fish fertilize eggs! And eels have semi-recently been induced to spawn in captivity by using hormones. However, the conflicting reports you were seeing on captive spawning are due to what has been called "eel farming" *until* those methods were developed really being eel *rearing* after capturing them at the glass eel/elver stage. Overfishing of eels is a huge problem. The survival rate of glass eels is small, so arguments have been made that by harvesting them at that stage, they are simply removing and raising fish that would have died anyway. However, that is only true if a significant portion are still available to make it through the non-human early life threats. So uh, maybe don't eat eel that's been commercially caught/reared. (Which is a damn shame because eel is delicious.) Bonus eel fact: female New Zealand longfin eels can live up to 60 years, there is no known trigger for them to move to the final stage in their lifecycle, happening from when the females are 20 and males are 13.

Hurry Up Snufkin

It's so cool that Erin was taught high school science by the Weezer album Pinkerton

Victoria Morris

I feel like the sheer number of us who could give this eel discourse immediately shows they really hit the target stem grad student demographic.

Kat Vincent

I’m so glad Erin brought up spaghettification. Black holes has been my husband’s hyper fixation recently and spaghettification has simultaneously become my new echolalia and my new biggest fear.

riss

Time is made of mice because hickory dickory dock the mouse ran up the clock 🤔

Michaela Jantzen

This is a brilliant idea for an episode - I would pay money for the three of you to make this content as a standalone podcast 🙏🏻

gwitch

I would pay for another Patreon membership to listen to all three of you just talk about random science topics. Please lol

nini

All spaghettification makes me think of bringing it up as an eight year old in class while being taught about the concept of black holes and being dismissed by the teacher as incorrect.

Rose Elle

Honestly one of my favourite episodes! Sorry Erin!! I'd listen to this format forever

Kat Vincent

That’s actually so upsetting

Cat Gonzales

listened to this while working in the lab testing DNA!!! so fun I'm very happy

VideoGC

This format was wonderful! I’d love to hear more, you guys break down these subjects in interesting and enjoyable ways.

Kaci Messerly

Okay but actually, so glad JPC clarified “eels” cuz I had no idea what a “yule” was! 😅

Marguerite

I don't think I've ever heard Erin sound so sad at the end of an episode, so I won't say how much I enjoyed this. It did remind me of the "friends research and explain topics to their friends" podcast format which I had forgotten that I like.

Vee Campbell

Unfortunately I have to report that the Ben Shapiro sister tweet was fake, and there are also a bunch of fake tweets about him not believing in female pleasure too. (I hate him, don’t get me wrong. And if people wanna keep spreading it around that he’s attracted to his sister I certainly won’t stand in their way.)

Noah Edwards

Helium and hydrogen are most common cus of stars and how elements are made. A stable star will make every element up to iron, then making heavy elements ir callapses.

Everest

… I just found out alcohol causes cancer. Thank fuck I don’t really like it anymore!

Altrucel

I think the word JPC was looking for was sublimation

Masha Beletsky

Hi guys currently in the process of earning my PhD hello 🤓 here to represent grad student listeners

Waywardscientist

I can’t handle you guys burdening yourselves with learning, to stressful, can we get theses guys eating at a Fuddruckers or watching an episode of Herman’s head or some other dumb shit?

Robbie

I would love to hear this kind of episode as often as y’all want to make it! So much fun. Reminds me of table talk with friends about what we’re learning and interested in.

Jasper

Chemistry major a year+ later. The numbering of the elements is the number of protons. This is the unique "identity" of each element and is located in the center of the atom alongside the neutron (called the nucleus). Electrons are even tinier subatomic particles that surround the nucleus and hold a negative charge. The table as a whole has a lot of cool trends; the size of the atoms increases as you go up & right, as does the electronegativity (how negative the atom is). Going back to the subatomic particles: A basic atom has the same number of electrons and neutrons that it does protons (e.g. Helium has 2 protons, neutrons, and electrons). The more electrons an atom has– the "more negative" it is. Truly love this episode and that JPC was so interested in the Periodic Table! I just picked up The Disappearing Spoon by Sam Kean where he shares both the science and fun stories.

Jasper

The book's namesake comes from an old prank using gallium, a metal that liquifies when heated (like mercury but with a much higher melting point). You would have tea with someone and replace their silver spoon for one made of gallium. Most won't examine their utensil and when they stir their tea the spoon disappears !
