Some of society's greatest scientific achievements were made based on research that might sound silly or bizarre to the average person. But curiosity-driven exploration is just as important to science as research that starts out with clear-cut applications in mind. So, this episode, host Dr. Samantha Yammine is joined by Dr. Carly Anne York. Dr. York wrote The Salmon Cannon and the Levitating Frog: And Other Serious Discoveries of Silly Science and they talk about how crucial curiosity is when it comes to learning about the world around us. Then, speaking of silly science, Sam and the production team dig into some of the winners of this year's Ig Nobel Prize. After that, Sam explores a study that proves the communication between moths and tomato plants.

Chemistry can be fun, too, so we explore some of historical satirical art about chemistry, humor based on nonsensical molecular structures, actual compounds with funny chemical names, and even compounds with humorous molecular structures. We discuss chemistry-related parody songs, plus a bonus of me singing an actual song from 1901. We hear of some chemistry games designed to teach students. From there we move on to chemistry dad jokes and puns (hey, I am a dad), and chemistry in the Journal of Irreproducible Results and the annual Ig Nobel Prize.

Join the Doctor Podcast Network today!—---------Dr. John Schnieder and Professor Dan Ariely continue their analysis of healthcare and decision-making in the second part of their conversation, expanding on the points discussed earlier. They delve deeper into how doctors experience "moral injuries" when forced to make choices that conflict with what they know is best for their patients, often due to systemic rules and pressures. This can result in stress, frustration, and burnout.Professor Ariely explains how uncertainty and lack of control in healthcare—like unclear rules or too many forms—can harm trust and make it harder for everyone to do their best. They also talk about how giving people too many choices, like making parents decide on tough medical treatments, can cause unnecessary stress and regret.They also discussed the need to improve healthcare by prioritizing long-term patient care, reducing unnecessary burdens on doctors, and building systems that foster trust, mental health, and teamwork.BioDan Ariely is an Israeli-American professor and behavioral economist known for exploring irrational decision-making. A traumatic accident in his youth, which left him with severe burns, shaped his interest in human behavior. He earned degrees in philosophy, psychology, and business administration, including a Ph.D. from Duke University, where he is now the James B. Duke Professor of Psychology and Behavioral Economics. Ariely founded the Center for Advanced Hindsight, focusing on topics like money psychology, healthcare decisions, and ethics.He is a best-selling author of books such as Predictably Irrational and The Honest Truth About Dishonesty, which challenge traditional economic theories. Ariely has co-founded companies, including BEworks and Lemonade, applying behavioral insights to practical challenges. His work has garnered numerous accolades, including the Ig Nobel Prize in Medicine. Despite controversies, Ariely remains a leading voice in behavioral science, inspiring research, business innovations, and media projects like NBC's The Irrational. Website:Behavioral science | Behavioral economics | Center for advanced hindsightLinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/danariely?trk=contact-infoInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/danariely?igsh=YzljYTk1ODg3Zg==  Dr. John Schnieder bio:https://www.physiciansguidetodoctoring.com/drschneider Did you know…You can also be a guest on our show ?

Be part of something exciting as we prepare to launch. Join the Doctor Podcast Network today!—-----In this episode, Professor Dan Ariely is interviewed by Dr John Schneider about the complexities of medicine, bureaucracy, and healthcare experiences. Professor Ariely discusses how rigid bureaucratic systems often disconnect from the core mission of patient care, leading to stress, reduced autonomy, and burnout among physicians. He also spoke about the "scarcity mindset," where limited resources like time and energy force rigid approaches, overwhelming both doctors and patients.He highlighted the importance of trust in healthcare. When physicians feel undervalued, it fosters frustration and burnout. Similarly, patients losing trust in providers may turn to alternative treatments that are less effective or harmful.To improve, Professor Ariely suggests collaboration between administrators and physicians to balance efficiency with compassion. By valuing expertise and fostering trust, healthcare systems can restore patients' confidence and make physicians' work more rewarding. BioDan Ariely is an Israeli-American professor and behavioral economist known for exploring irrational decision-making.

- The Thang learns that we can breathe through our butt...?

We'd love to hear from you! Send us a text message.In this episode of "Discover Daily," we begin with the 2024 Ig Nobel Prizes, celebrating unconventional scientific achievements that make people laugh, then think. From researchers discovering mammals can breathe through their anuses to a team flipping coins over 350,000 times to study probability, these quirky studies often reveal deeper scientific truths. Next, we investigate a new paper detailing a massive landslide in Greenland's remote Dickson Fjord that triggered an extraordinary mega-tsunami in September 2023. The colossal event, caused by the collapse of a 1.2km-high mountain peak weakened by a thinning glacier, generated seismic waves detected around the globe for nine consecutive days. An international team of scientists unraveled the mystery behind this unprecedented phenomenon, highlighting the increasing geological hazards posed by climate change in polar regions.Finally, we delve into the AI technique called chain-of-thought prompting, which helps the way language models solve complex problems by mimicking human reasoning. Developed by researchers at Google, this method enables AI to break down tasks into intermediate steps, leading to more accurate and interpretable results. As major tech companies like OpenAI and IBM explore applications of chain-of-thought prompting, we discuss its potential to significantly enhance the performance of AI-powered tools and services across various industries.From Perplexity's Discover Feed:https://www.perplexity.ai/page/the-ig-nobel-prize-2024-XYbMjt0CSlSwXlbpk14B.Qhttps://www.perplexity.ai/page/greenland-s-9-day-tsunami-LVTP1nWZRDOn3fpy_yBRAwhttps://www.perplexity.ai/page/ai-s-chain-of-thought-explaine-uvCWFvjKTrK8Y1b94WjaWgPerplexity is the fastest and most powerful way to search the web.

Join me this morning as I welcome author, columnist and Ig Nobel Prize founder Marc Abrahams! Marc Abrahams writes about research that makes people LAUGH, then THINK. In 1991 he founded the Ig Nobel Prize Ceremony, (a parody of the Nobel prize) and serves as Master of Ceremonies. The prizes are handed out by Nobel laureates in a gala event held every year at Harvard University. Marc co-founded and edits the magazine Annals of Improbable Research (AIR), and has written several books, including This is Improbable. He also edits and writes much of the website and blog at www.improbable.com. Marc has a degree in applied mathematics from Harvard College, spent several years developing optical character recognition computer systems (including a reading machine for the blind) at Kurzweil Computer Products, and later founded Wisdom Simulators, which used computers to give people experience in making excruciating decisions. Marc is the subject of a Harvard Business School case study called "Marc Abrahams: Annals of an Improbable Entrepreneur." Marc is married to psychologist Robin Abrahams, who writes the "Miss Conduct" advice column for the Boston Globe Magazine.

We've all heard of The Nobel Peace prize and the Nobel Literature prize, Science, and Medicine prizes. Well, this episode has absolutely nothing to do with any of that! But! If you come up with an idea that is an unusual or trivial or a bizarre achievement in scientific research, well then…we have an award for you. It's called the Ig Nobel Prize, and anyone can win it, if their idea makes you laugh…and then… makes you think! Really, no really! The Prize was created by today's guest, Marc Abrahams who has awarded it annually since 1991. And the awards are handed out annually by genuine Nobel laureates, as they honor and celebrate the unusual, the creative and the imaginative… while also spurring people's interest in science, medicine, and technology. So be prepared to learn about woodpeckers and concussions, an unusual childbirth device and the importance of fish farts. That's right… fish farts! IN THIS EPISODE: The unbelievable way Marc first became editor of a scientific magazine. Amusing inventors & scientists doing obscure, yet noble things should be honored. Right? The scientists who defied a Prime Minister and proved the impending submarine invasion was not happening. Meet the guy who studied whether gonorrhea could be transmitted by sex dolls. Colonoscopy researchers won the Ig Nobel twice and performed a live on-stage demonstration you won't believe. The Blonsky centrifugal birthing device will defy your understanding of natural childbirth. Why don't woodpeckers get concussions and how that applies to football. Your foot size to genitalia size ratio is… real? Jason has some “genius ideas” he thinks should win an Ig Nobel. The small but notable list of inventors who were killed by their inventions.
