The Larrikin Podcast

In today's podcast, I quiz my sister 'Daniel Danielson' aka Eileen Yakscoe about things I learned from Phillip Dettmer's book. I recently read the best science book I've ever read: 'Immune' by Phillip Dettmer. Its explanations are based on first principles that open the door to thinking about the immune system in a new way. His passion for the subject started at a young age. Phillip was a fuck-up as a kid. He was pulled out of school in Germany, and placed in 'loser school.' There, he found a teacher who was strict, but a great explainer of worldly phenomena. She had him hooked by her explanation of the butterfly effect (as any kid would be with a good enough teacher). After this experience, he entered adulthood with a love of science, and spent the last 10 years writing this book about the immune system.  My co-host, Eileen Yakscoe, studies Animal Science at the Delaware Valley University. Her understanding of animals sheds light on our immune system as well as other animals' bodily processes. She attributes her stories at the end of the episode from the teachings of Dr Shedlauskas. Thanks for listening.

I said adenoviruses enter the cell's nucleus- this isn't true. My mistake. But time is short, so I just posted it anyway cause I like to hear Aidan's song and it doesn't make much sense without our conversation

you don't have to watch movies anymore, we'll definitely watch them and then tell you how they went. this episode was inspired by sarah black and ben flores https://twitter.com/pleasesavemepod?lang=en https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGCTSSWT4lg https://www.amazon.com/Scale-Universal-Innovation-Sustainability-Organisms/dp/1594205582

Our brains finished evolving 50,000 years ago and we are stuck this way. Are we stuck in our ways? Are we frozen in time, like my mistake in this episode of saying "menstruation" instead of "menopause?" Jake is optimistic that we may be less stuck than we think.

The intersection between botany and medicine ft. Dr. Aidan Kaye Bark of the willow tree is turned into Aspirin. Bark of the Cinchona Tree is turned into Quinine- the anti-malarial drug you enjoy in your average gin and tonic. Tonic water is sugar mixed with cinchona bark. But British colonizers liked to get drunk while they medicated themselves from the parasites spread by the mosquitoes of India. The main premise of the episode is that bugs eat plants and die BECAUSE they are small. But a certain arthropod used to be GIGANTIC. 400 million years ago, scorpions used to be three feet long. And like all scorpions, they glow under UV light. I for one welcome out glowing scorpion overlords. But our atmosphere needs A LOT more oxygen to bring them back. Plant a tree. Listen to our episode about planting trees to learn more. Pour yourself a nice G&T and enjoy. For more of Dr. Aidan Kaye follow @TroveoftheSacred on Instagram

One reason we go into REM sleep, the time at night when we dream the most, is because it keeps the brain warm. When we are cold, we shiver. When we dream, our brain "shivers." But is there any meaning to our nightly shivers? I don't know. But I had fun exploring the idea with my friends.

a made up story about the origin of the word tutu

A group of owls is called a parliament. A group of larrikins googling bird facts is a called a podcast. We talk about bird name origins and etymologies, followed by bird behavior and over sharing about my penis. Please consider donating to teamtrees.org. One dollar equals one native tree. Plant the tree->to bring the insect->to bring the bird that likes the insects.

I sit down in the John James Audubon Center at Mill Grove with program director, Carrie Barron, to briefly discuss bird conservation. One solution was counterintuitive to me. Carrie explains that to save the native birds, we should plant native plants. Plant the tree->to bring the insect->to bring the bird that likes the insects.

an eponym is a word named after someone.  all body parts that have eponym are named after dudes. not cool. girls have bodies too, yo.

usually greeks and romans named the body off of what they saw. more often than not, they named the body after titties
