Mary Roach visits Google to discuss her book "Fuzz: When Nature Breaks the Law." What's to be done about a jaywalking moose? A bear caught breaking and entering? A murderous tree? Three hundred years ago, animals that broke the law would be assigned legal representation and put on trial. These days, the answers are best found not in jurisprudence but in science: the curious science of human-wildlife conflict, a discipline at the crossroads of human behavior and wildlife biology.  Mary Roach is the author of six New York Times bestsellers, including "Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers"; "Gulp: Adventures on the Alimentary Canal", and "Packing for Mars: The Curious Science of Life in the Void." Her books have been published in 21 languages, and her second book, "Spook: Science Tackles the Afterlife", was a New York Times Notable Book. Mary has written for National Geographic, Wired, The New York Times Magazine, and the Journal of Clinical Anatomy, among others.  Visit http://youtube.com/TalksAtGoogle/ to watch the video.

Do you like scary movies? Yes, course you do – you're listening to a horror podcast.Okay, cliched horror quote asides – this week is something a little different for the show. It's been a minute since we've had some non-fiction, and how better to scratch that itch-for-facts than with a discussion of BRAINZZZZZ?Our guest is Nina Nesseth: scientist, researcher and author of Nightmare Fuel: The Science of Horror Films. It does what it says on the cover. Nina guides us through a century of horror cinema, looking at how we, as a species, react neurologically and physiologically to scenes of blood, violence and carnage. Think of it, perhaps, as a tour of the most haunted house of all, the human mind. We dissect everything ­– movies, culture, eyeballs (prepare yourself!), and the trailer for Rob Zombie's The Munsters. We also talk about communicating science in the new age of anti-rationality, how our brains can tell screens and real life apart, the best ever decade for horror, and we mock the phrase elevated horror in all the ways that stupid term deserves. Enjoy!Nightmare Fuel: The Science of Horror Films was published on July 19th by Tor NightfireOther books discussed in this episode include:Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers (2003), by Mary RoachFound Footage and The Appearance of Reality (2014), by Alexandra Heller-Nicholls Support Talking Scared on PatreonCome talk books on Twitter @talkscaredpod, on Instagram, or email direct to talkingscaredpod@gmail.com Support the show

Mass Shooting Survivor: Maddy Wilford Mass shootings are becoming so common that we are becoming desensitized. But their lives will never be the same for the victims' family members and the survivors. When the news covers these mass shootings, they mention the number of people killed and injured. However, what does it truly mean to survive being shot with an AR-15? To illustrate the vast damage an AR-15 will cause to the human body, this episode covers the story of Maddy Willford. She survived the Marjory Stoneman Douglass High School shooting in Parkland, Florida on February 14, 2018. The shooter killed 14 students and 3 staff members and wounded 17 others. However, Maddy was the most critically wounded after being shot 4 times with an AR-15. She didn't have a pulse when the first responders reached her.     Learn more about how the Parkland shooting happened.   Remember the 17 Parkland shooting victims.    20 million AR-15 weapons have been sold to Americans. Learn more about the mass shooting at the Church in Southerland Springs, Texas. Wounds from an AR-15 are significantly worse than those from handguns and rifles. Watch the 60-minutes episode to learn more. Learn more about the “Stop the Bleed” program. Do you know about the Parkland Strong movement and the March for our Lives protest in Washington, D.C? The Parkland students rallied more than half a million people and galvanized support for approximately 67 new gun laws. Join your local chapters of Gifford's "Gun Owners for Safety.” We must all rally for change and protect our children.   Also in this episode...

Season 11 of Blurry Photos kicks off with the Burke and Hare murders! A wild story of 19th century body-snatching, the Burke and Hare murders may have helped advance anatomical science, but definitely regressed ethics. William Burke and William Hare, Irishmen living in Scotland, have become two of the most famous serial killers of the 19th century. When the demands of medical science became too much to keep up with naturally, the two Irishmen stepped in to lend a helping hand. Not grave robbers, or "resurrection men" as they were called at the time,  the duo skipped the whole burial part to provide anatomists with fresh bodies. It's a macabre tale of science and economics gone awry, with a slightly tipsy storytelling element to boot on this episode of Blurry Photos! Don't forget to watch me stream games on Twitch!   Sources Edwards: Owen Dudley Edwards, Burke & Hare, 1983 Roach: Mary Roach, Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers, Norton, 2003 Adams: Norman Adams, Scottish Bodysnatchers: True Accounts, Goblinshead, 2002 Young: Alex F.

You may recall our episode from late January in which I adopted an exaggerated satirical stance responding to a podcaster who had taken exception to my answer to a question on Twitter. The question, from my fellow Marketing Podcast Network creator Seth Goldstein, was whether or not podcasting was a modern form of busking, or a street performer playing for change. I said no and Tanner Campbell, a podcast consultant who has his own show called Podcasting Sucks, disagreed and fired off an episode about me. And I responded with my tongue in cheek finger wagging. You can check that episode out at a link in the show notes for this episode, of course.  In that back and forth, Tanner and I got to know each other a bit more and discovered we were kindred spirits in a lot of ways. So we thought a more friendly fire discussion about podcasting was in order. What evolved in our discussion was really interesting and fun. The first half of our conversation turned out to be Tanner asking me a bunch of questions. When I realized he was taking over my show, I flipped the conversation and got to know him a bit more. We talk about the history and recent explosion of podcasts, how both of us got started, our opinion of repurposing video content as audio podcasts … and on and on and on. We also spent a lot of time talking about the ability to grow and monetize podcasts in this era of mainstream media companies dominating the landscape. Super useful conversation.  There's even some good nuggets in there on my history as a radio deejay.  Honestly, we could have kept talking for hours, but we'll leave the marathon podcast to the wingnuts of the world out there. Today's episode is probably the first of more to come as we just sat and picked each other's brains. What resulted was what I think is a pretty damn useful listen for those of you interested in podcasts to build your influence as an influencer, or as a brand. This episode is sponsored by Tagger, the complete influencer marketing solution. It has recently released a new product feature called Signals, which provides creator listening for its customers.

Mary Roach is the author of seven nonfiction books, including her latest, Fuzz: When Nature Breaks the Law. "In these realms of the taboo, there's a tremendous amount of material that is really interesting, but that people have stayed away from. ... I'm kind of a bottom feeder. It's down there on the bottom where people don't want to go. But if that's what it takes to find interesting, new material, I'm fine with it. I don't care. I'm not easily grossed out. I don't feel that there's any reason why we shouldn't look at this. And over time, I started to feel that ... the taboo was preventing people from having conversations that it would be healthy to have."

How do you get people to read about science who don't think they're interested in science? You entertain people, you fascinate them-- ultimately you make them care." Beloved nature and science writer Mary Roach is here with new book in hand called Fuzz: When Nature Breaks the Law. What's to be done about a jaywalking moose? A bear caught breaking and entering? A murderous tree? Three hundred years ago, animals that broke the law would be assigned legal representation and put on trial. These days, the answers are best found not in jurisprudence but in science: the curious science of human-wildlife conflict, a discipline at the crossroads of human behavior and wildlife biology. Daniel and Mary also discuss many personal issues-- how did Mary get into science writing in the first place? How does music contribute to her ability to write? How can science and the humanities help each other, coexist in a better way? Support Talking Beats with Daniel Lelchuk Mary Roach is the author of six New York Times bestsellers, including STIFF: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers; GULP: Adventures on the Alimentary Canal, and PACKING FOR MARS: The Curious Science of Life in the Void.

In the days before the board game Operation or Play Doh's dentist head, doctors needed something to hone their knowledge of the human anatomy. So they hired people to bring them dead bodies dug up fresh from the graveyards. Strange Country co-hosts Beth and Kelly talk about these night doctors and resurrectionists who gave a new meaning to the phrase the big sleep.

The human head can stay conscious up to ten seconds after being decapitated.

Have you ever thought about what you want to happen to your body after you die? The two most common options are cremation and burial, but did you know there is a wide variety of options available? Do you know what it means by "donating your body to science"? Do you know what the most environmentally friendly options are? Mary Roach brilliantly explores the many avenues available for human cadavers, and while this book may seem morbid, we both found it quite fascinating and easily approachable. To accompany us, we poured a "stiff drink", AKA a dry Hendricks gin martini. We want to hear what you think!

What do we mean by healthy bodies, healthy books? We share how can you use books to help your family stay healthy, and what are some great options to read together. This week we are joined by Coleen Graham, a RN who has worked in a major pediatric hospital for the past eleven years. She also has three kids of her own, so she has had plenty of experience teaching kids about being sick and staying healthy in all sorts of settings. Along with nursing she also teaches preschool and the occasional yoga class, so we are very grateful that she was able to take the time to chat with us about this topic that has been on many parents’ minds lately! In this episode we talk about: 1. Coleen’s job at the hospital and what she does there. She explains her unit as a “step-down NICU.” She mostly works with infants and toddlers, although they have recently started getting children of many different ages. 2. What she prioritizes as a nurse and a mom when she teaches her kids about their bodies and staying healthy.  3. How she has used books to teach those things to her kids and why picture books do such a great job at putting these complicated topics on their level. 4. How she has seen books used at her hospital unit. For instance, she has seen a feeding tube kit that comes with a story book and coloring book that talk about what it is, how it is used, how they can talk about it, etc. Since her unit is mostly younger kids, they do not use them to explain what is going on as much, but they have books that are for the kids and parents to use while they are there, which helps to bring something familiar and comforting to a scary situation. “The parents are happy to see a book that they are familiar with and they are happy to read to their child and it kind of makes a scary hospital experience something a little less scary.” 5. Coloring books and what a great tool they can be. Coleen has used them when teaching her kids about their bodies and she made a great point about how kids are often times better able to listen to things we are trying to teach them when their hands are busy doing something else... like coloring or drawing! 7. How she has decided what to teach her different children at different ages. 8. A few of their family’s favorite books for talking about bodies and health. 9. How our emotions and mental health can affect our physical health and how we can help our kids with their emotions and especially to identify and communicate them. 10. All three of us chime in with some books that might be good for older children, teenagers or even adults who want to We are so grateful to Coleen for taking the time to talk with us! More information about her, the books we chat about, and other resources to help us teach our kids about being healthy can be found in the following places: In Healthy Bodies, Healthy Books we mention: Websites: Kids Health.org Google Scholar Books: The Berenstain Bears Visit the Dentist by Stan and Jan Berenstain What are Germs? - By Katie Daynes (Usborne) My Body - Usborne The Usborne Science Encyclopedia by several authors The Pigeon Needs a Bath by Mo Willems Standin’ Tall Cleanliness by Janeen Brady Little Monkey Calms Down by Michael Dahl Lurlene McDaniel (author) The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants by Ann Brashares Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers by Mary Roach Gulp: Adventures on the Alimentary Canal by Mary Roach The Rent Collector by Camron Wright The Harry Potter Series by JK Rowling Do Not Lick This Book by Idan Ben-Barak and Julian Frost Magic School Bus: The Giant Germ by Scholastic The Big Book of the Body - Usborne Daniel Visits the Doctor - Daniel Tiger book Looking for more on "healthy" books for your family?

Ethik und Wissenschaft – eine überflüssige Episode? Es gibt Wissenschafter, die sich auf die Position zurückziehen: Wissenschaft wäre nur Erkenntnisgewinn, Ethik beginnt bestenfalls mit der Anwendung. Ethik und Philosophie wären recht überflüssige Tätigkeiten, lästig und nicht hilfreich. Ich teile diese Ansicht nicht – ich hoffe auch Sie nicht, nachdem Sie diese Episode gehört haben. Zwei Thesen zu Beginn: Nassim Taleb: »Wissenschaft ist großartig, aber einzelne Wissenschafter sind gefährlich«  Daraus folgt aus meiner Sicht: wir dürfen Wissenschaft als Gesellschaft keinesfalls den Wissenschaftern alleine überlassen sondern müssen uns energisch einbringen Warum ist das so? Wir beginnen mit einem kurzen Blick in die jüngere Vergangenheit bevor wir uns in die Gegenwart und Zukunft begeben. Dazu drei wesentliche Aspekte: Erkenntnisse die unter ethisch sehr fragwürdigen Rahmenbedingungen entstanden sind (»Nazi« Forschung, Experimente an Menschen in den 1960er und 1970er Jahren!) – wie gehen wir damit um? Wissenschafter mit problematischen politischen oder ethischen Ansichten (wie Martin Heidegger, Johannes Stark und Philipp Lenard, die Agitatoren einer deutschen versus »jüdischen« Physik) Und der Blick in Gegenwart und Zukunft: wie gehen wir mit dem enormen Potential wissenschaftlicher Möglichkeiten um, die aber ethisch umstritten sind, z.B. die Stammzellenforschung, aber auch mit ethischen Herausforderungen, die sich aus unserem kapitalistischen System ergeben. Dies betrifft etwa die Pharma-Industrie, aber auch sehr stark die Digitalisierung und Innovationen im Bereich der Informatik. In 20 Minuten wie immer, ein erster Gedankengang, den wir später noch vertiefen können.

Mary Roach is the New York Times best-selling author of STIFF: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers, SPOOK: Science Tackles the Afterlife, BONK: The Curious Coupling of Science and Sex, PACKING FOR MARS: The Curious Science of Life in the Void and GULP: Adventures in the Alimentary Canal. Her new book is GRUNT: The Curious Science of Humans at War. Mary Roach was in the Northwest to speak at Town Hall Seattle, presented by University Book Store.

Though she didn't earn a degree in the sciences, author Mary Roach has a knack for writing about them with insight and wit. Whether she's describing what happens to the body after death or the many aspects of human sexuality, Roach makes her topics accessible and fun. Roach has authored half a dozen books including: Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers, Spook: Science Tackles the Afterlife and Bonk: The Curious Coupling of Science and Sex, as well as articles for magazines including Vogue, GQ, and National Geographic. Mary Roach sat down with Jesse about whether shark repellant actually exists, life on submarines and how leaches inspired her to write a book on military science, Grunt. William Bell is a soul singer and songwriter whose distinctive sound is forever associated with the legendary Stax Records. Along with with performers like Otis Redding, Sam and Duke, Isaac Hayes and the Staple Singers, Bell helped create music that continues to entertain and inspire. He is famous for his hit songs including You Don't Miss Your Water, Private Number, A Tribute to the King and Everybody Loves a Winner. He also co-wrote the classic song, Born Under a Bad Sign which was originally performed by Albert King and later covered by Jimi Hendrix, Etta James, Cream and even Homer Simpson. William Bell joined Jesse to talk about what it was like beginning his musical career while still a teenager, how he returned to his career after being drafted and his new album out on Stax Records, This is Where I Live. Jesse shares why Tanya Tucker's voice and classic song, What's Your Mama's Name manages to move him every time he hears it.

Show #132 | Guest: Mary Roach is a funny and fascinating writer who first arrived in San Francisco in the early 1980s. She’s written six hugely popular science books including Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers (2003), Bonk: The Curious Coupling of Science and Sex (2008), and Gulp: Adventures on the Alimentary Canal (2013). Clearly a common theme throughout Mary's books is a literary treatment of the human body. When asked by NPR how she picks her topics, she replied, "Well, it's got to have a little science, it's got to have a little history, a little humor - and something gross." | Show Summary: Mary Roach’s new book Grunt tackles the science behind being a soldier. In it, Mary visits a re-purposed movie studio where amputee actors help prepare Marine Corps medics for facing combat wounds. She also samples caffeinated meat, sniffs a WWII stink bomb, and tends to the missiles on a nuclear submarine. Once you listen to this insightful interview, ou'll never see the art of war the same way again.

Portland Pride Stands Up For OrlandoAfter the shooting at the Pulse night club in Orlando, leaders of Portland Pride and community members have organized several candlelight vigils, and many artists, arts groups and pride parties are re-configuring their plans to lend their support to the victims of the tragedy. We talk with Don Horn, the founder of Triangle Productions, a theater well-known for producing LGBT plays. Currently, they're sending a percentage of ticket sales for "American Idiot" (June 9–July 2) to the Orlando's LGBT community Center. Portland Music Distributor Closes Doors, Leaving Hundreds of Bands And Labels In The Lurch - 1:50Several hundred small music labels and recording artists around the world — including Portland's Pink Martini, Cappella Roman, Three Leg Torso, and more — are faced with buying their own music back from Portland distributor, Allegro Media Group. Several labels and artists affected by the liquidation told OPB they were not notified by the company about what was happening, and have been desperate to get information. Writer Lindy West Takes On The Trolls With Humor - 8:15Lindy West started her writing career focused on comedy and popular culture at “The Stranger,” a Seattle weekly. But a funny thing happened on the way to a career of movie reviews and standup listings. West started writing about things she couldn’t avoid any more: About being fat. About finding rape jokes offensive and culturally corrosive. And about the vicious responses she got to her outspoken feminism. She captures her hilarious, and at times troubling, experience in "Shrill: Notes From a Loud Woman." Darcelle XV Shines As America's Oldest Drag Queen - 18:44Oregon-native Walter Cole had no idea when he opened a small, lesbian-geared bar in 1967 that it would become a drag club, least of all what's widely believed to be the longest-running drag show west of the Mississippi. Since he first put on a gown, he's gone on to perform two shows a night, five nights a week for decades, transforming his bar into an institution that has influenced generations of Oregonians.Writer Mary Roach On Maggots And Penis Transplants - 24:38Mary Roach has made a name for herself for bringing humor to the darker corners of science with books like "Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers" and "Bonk: The Curious Coupling of Science and Sex." Now she takes on the science of modern warfare with "Grunt: The Curious Science of Humans at War,” plumbing into why diarrhea is a threat to national security and how maggots became and FDA-approved medical device. opbmusic Big SXSW Discovery: Big Thief - 34:19When opbmusic producers stumbled on to Big Thief at South by Southwest this year, they couldn’t wait to get the word out. Just a week later, the folk-tinged indie rock band from Brooklyn trekked to Portland for its first ever radio session. The band’s first album, “Masterpiece,” was released by Saddle Creek Records in May.Peter Sagal Takes Us Behind The Scenes On "Wait Wait...Don't Tell Me!" - 44:45There’s likely no one in less need of an introduction to public radio listeners than NPR host Peter Sagal, who is bringing "Wait Wait...Don't Tell Me!" back to the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall on June 23–24. We got Sagal on the phone to talk about what it was like to transition from writing plays to comedy, why he has to write 20 jokes just to get one good one, and why it's so hard to poke fun at Donald Trump.

The mother runners were thrilled to welcome Mary Roach, best-selling author of clever non-fiction like Stiff: The Curious Life of Human Cadavers and Gulp: Adventures in the Alimentary Canal. Like food through the digestive track, the conversation moves from top to bottom, but it fairly quickly centers on poop. But not before talking flatus (that’s fancy-talk for “fart,” […] Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Host: Indre Viskontas In the science section at your local bookstore, you'll find plenty of books on everything from the brain, to the climate, to the cosmos. But how many books will you find that take you on a tour of the digestive tract—from our mouths, to our stomachs, to our intestines? Popular science writer Mary Roach's new book, Gulp, does just that. Decoding the science of taboo topics like vaginal weight-lifting, amputee bowling leagues, and how much food it takes to burst a human stomach has become the signature style of Roach, who has been described by the Washington Post as "America's funniest science writer." Mary Roach writes about human bodies in unusual circumstances and does not shy away from things that are gross. Her previous best-selling books include: Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers, Spook: Science Tackles the Afterlife, Bonk: The Curious Coupling of Science and Sex, and Packing for Mars: The Curious Science of Life in the Void but today we’ll be discussing Gulp: Adventures on the Alimentary Canal.

Mary Roach is the author of Stiff: The curious Lives of Human Cadavers and Spook: Science Tackles the Afterlife. Her writing has appeared in Salon, Wired, National Geographic, New Scientist, and the New York Times Magazine. Her latest book is Bonk: the Curious Coupling of Science and Sex. In this conversation with D.J. Grothe, Mary Roach reveals why she looks to science rather than to religion for answers about death and sex, and why she is interested in such topics in the first place. She talks about the history of sex research, including Leonardo Da Vinci's anatomical explorations of coitus, as well as 19th century sex research connected to fertility and STDs. She talks about religious opposition to scientific research of human sexuality, and how it affects funding. She describes some on Alfred Kinsey's research that showed the diversity of sexual activity in the United States. She details various scientific attempts to improve human sexuality, including grafting additional testicles on men, or surgically relocating women's clitorises. She explores the role of the placebo effect in certain sexual cures, such as for impotence or increased arousal. And she talks about the link between sexual satisfaction and overall happiness.

Host: Leslie P. Lundt, MD Guest: Mary Roach Remember the first time you walked into anatomy lab? For many of us, it was a defining moment in our medical careers. Have you ever thought about those cadavers? Has medical training become more sensitive to these brave souls that dedicated their bodies to science? Host Dr. Leslie Lundt welcomes Mary Roach, the acclaimed author of Stiff - The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers to discuss these issues.
