What's all the fuss with H5N1 moving into cows and is my milk safe? Plus a breakdown of a fascinating set of experiments aimed at answering whether MDMA increases empathy and why this could influence how doctors prescribe the drug in the future.

On the latest episode @YukoUlrich discussed the types of things we can learn about group living and disease dynamics from studying #ants. Here she explains the #evolution of group defenses by #socialinsects
#scicomm #sciencepod
The second looks at how an individuals behavior within a group impacts disease risk. This was a fascinating conversation and led us to the topic of #zombie #parasites of course.

Great story behind one of today’s Nobel Prize winners. Amazing determination and humility. Not uncommon for the importance of great research not to become apparent for many years down the line.
“Ten years ago I was kicked out and forced to retire.”
Our new medicine laureate Katalin Karikó (@kkariko) told us how much it means to be awarded the Nobel Prize after a scientific career that has been full of challenges.
Ten years ago, Karikó was still doing all her experiments by hand but today she has been awarded the medicine prize for her research on mRNA, which led to the development of COVID-19 vaccines.
Listen now:
If we agree that having some understanding is a good thing for people in our society then the people need access to credible resources. Enter professional #scicomm and voluneer #scientists. Often these folks are unfortunately flying blind. (Thread)
We discuss these studies, what the results tell us about #scicomm and the trials and tribulations of this work in general. Limits of the knowledge defict model, how to counter loud opposition touting false data. Why good sci comm benefits society and #researchers
Have a listen, subcribe and let us know what you think!!

Great podcast discussing many issues @gracefbrowne
and I covered last episode. Featuring a prominent voice from inside #psychedelic research Matt Johnson.
The Concept of Integration and the Need for Evolving Protocols of Psychedelic Therapy psychedelicstoday.com/2023/0…
#psychedelic research is often viewed as an overwhelmingly positive and straightforward affair . In fact many unknowns, experiments and gray areas are unfolding in real time. @gracefbrowne from @WiredUK joins to discuss her nuanced approach to reporting these subjects (1/n)
We also talk about the potential danger of the overly positive coverage and conversations surrounding #psychedelics sometimes dubbed the "Pollan Effect", the dark history of cults and psychedelics and the many trueisms that aren't really supported by data.
While we are both optimistic and supportive of this research we shared the view that these lesser talked about issues and topics need to be given more attention. Listen on @Spotify below or search Two Brad For You wherever you get #podcast
