Send us a text In this episode, Dr. Eeks is joined by neuroscientist Dr. Dwayne Godwin and cartoonist Dr. Jorge Cham, the creative duo behind Out of Your Mind, a book that makes neuroscience both fun and digestible—perfect for Nerds and Nerd Nots alike (yes, that's my podcast tagline). They kick things off with love—what it is, why we fall for some people and not others, and whether science could create a love potion that turns romance into a biochemical hostage situation. From love, they move to hate and how some people actually get addicted to hate. They'll also discuss AI—whether it could ever develop consciousness and what that might mean for humanity—before diving into addiction and the ongoing debate over how much of it is choice versus biology. They'll talk about happiness, whether money can actually buy it, and a bizarre true medical case of a man who, after a brain surgery gone wrong, was left permanently stuck in the present moment.  Finally, they'll explore what happens when we die and whether the authors ever get existentially bummed out thinking about how fragile and robotic we really are. If you like science with a side of humor and deep, slightly absurd questions, this episode is for you. Dr. Dwayne Godwin is a neuroscientist, educator, and professor in the Department of Translational Neuroscience at Wake Forest University School of Medicine. His research focuses on abnormal brain rhythms, exploring calcium channel function, epilepsy, and traumatic brain injury to develop potential treatments for neurological diseases. Beyond the lab, he is passionate about science outreach, co-creating Mind in Pictures for Scientific American Mind and contributing to blogs for the Society for Neuroscience and the Museum of the Moving Image. Dr. Jorge Cham is a Daytime Emmy-nominated, best-selling cartoonist and the creator of PHD Comics, a popular online comic strip about academia. He is the co-creator, Executive Producer, and Creative Director of Elinor Wonders Why, a top-rated PBS Kids animated series. Cham has co-authored several popular science books, including We Have No Idea: A Guide to the Unknown Universe and Frequently Asked Questions about the Universe, as well as the children's book Oliver's Great Big Universe. He also co-hosts and co-creates the hit podcast Daniel and Jorge Explain the Universe.

In this captivating episode of Shape Shorts, host Tony Pitucco sits down with the brilliant particle physicist and esteemed professor of physics at UC Irvine, Daniel Whiteson. They discuss his joint venture with Jorge Cham and the story of how they began collaborating to communicate complex scientific concepts through the use of cartoons, making science engaging and accessible to all!   One of the most intriguing topics explored is whether mathematics serves as the universal language that reveals the secrets of the cosmos or if it is an internal construct of the human mind. They delve into the concept of the unreasonable effectiveness of mathematics in the natural sciences and explore the profound role it plays in understanding the universe.   The conversation naturally turns to the enigmatic realm of quantum physics and the ever-essential right-hand rule in physics. The beauty and symmetry present in physics is unmissable and as the discussion deepens, Tony and Daniel tackle the profound philosophical question of why humanity finds beauty in the laws that govern the universe. They embrace the human element in science and acknowledge the significance of specialization in the field.   If you're curious about the universe's mysteries, the intriguing role of mathematics, the captivating stories of scientific discovery, and the profound beauty and symmetry that underpin it all, this episode is a must-listen.   * Now offering workshops!

Jsme ve vesmíru sami? Jak bude vypadat konec světa? Dokážeme obydlet cizí planety? Co znamená nekonečno? A hlavně: co je možné a co nikoli? Tak zní jen pár otázek, které si možná občas klade každý. Položili si je i autoři knihy Často kladené otázky o vesmíru Jorge Cham a Daniel Whiteson. A také si na ně odpověděli. Pro někoho uspokojivě, pro někoho možná méně, odpovědi nás nicméně nejen poučí, ale i pobaví, stejně jako pobavily autora pořadu Ex libris Lukáše Hurníka.Všechny díly podcastu Ex libris můžete pohodlně poslouchat v mobilní aplikaci mujRozhlas pro Android a iOS nebo na webu mujRozhlas.cz.

This is the type of chill questions that we're all asking ourselves from time to time — you know, when we're sitting on the beach.This is also the kind of questions Daniel Whiteson loves to talk about in his podcast, “Daniel and Jorge Explain the Universe”, co-hosted with Jorge Cham, the author of PhD comics. Honestly, it's one of my favorite shows ever, so I warmly recommend it. Actually, if you've ever hung out with me in person, there is a high chance I started nerding out about it…Daniel is, of course, a professor of physics, at the University of California, Irvine, and also a researcher at CERN, using the Large Hadron Collider to search for exotic new particles — yes, these are particles that put little umbrellas in their drinks and taste like coconut.On his free time, Daniel loves reading, sailing and baking — I can confirm that he makes a killer Nutella roll!Oh, I almost forgot: Daniel and Jorge wrote two books — We Have No Idea and FAQ about the Universe — which, again, I strongly recommend.

He is a professor of physics and astronomy at The University of California, Irvine and is the co-author, along with Jorge Cham, of my favorite physics and astronomy book of all time called We Have No Idea: A Guide to the Unknown Universe.I wanted to have Daniel on the show because in his book he blew me away by his ability to not sound like a scientist but instead speak in everyday terms while explaining complex stuff like dark matter, dark energy and other spooky things lurking out there in the cosmos.In this interview Daniel shared how much we don’t know about the universe (which is a ton), the likelihood we could find life right here in our solar system, the 3 particles that make up just about everything (including you and me), what is dark matter and dark energy and how we know it exists, he touched on quantum mechanics, and much more.LINKS:Book: We Have No Idea: A Guide to the Unknown UniverseWebsite: http://phdcomics.com/noidea/Podcast: Daniel and Jorge Explain the Universe Contact: UCI Twitter: @DanielWhiteson---I’d love to hear from you!

During the Virtual 2020 INFORMS Annual Meeting held in early November, I had the unique pleasure of interviewing Jorge Cham, scholar and comic, and special guest at the INFORMS Awards Ceremony. I am excited to share this interview with you during this special episode of the podcast, as Jorge and I discuss his comic series, Piled Higher and Deeper, and other creative endeavors; his transition from academia to the creative arts (and what his parents thought); important lessons learned; and the relationship between procrastination and productivity. And learn more about accessing valuable meeting content for three months following the meeting.

Daniel Whiteson is professor of physics and astronomy at the University of California Irvine. He collaborates with cartoonist, writer, producer and former engineer Jorge Cham on projects, such as: the “Daniel and Jorge Explain the Universe” podcast and the PBS Kids animated series “Elinor Wonders Why.” The duo also created an illustrated book entitled "We Have No Idea: A Guide to the Unknown Universe." Whiteson and his team developed the Cosmic Rays Found in Smartphones (CRAYFIS) app, which uses cellphone cameras to detect ultra-high-energy cosmic rays (UHECRs).

This week on Lifestyles, Lillian speaks with engineer, cartoonist, author, podcast host, and now creator of the new PBS Kids television show Elinor Wonders Why , Jorge Cham. Jorge shares how an engineer and a physicist came together to create a children’s show and talks about some of the topics covered on the program.

This program originally aired on May 9, 2017. What is time? Why does it always seem to move forward? Why is the earth made of matter and not of anti-matter? Are there really just three dimensions? Are we alone in the Universe? How big is the Universe? The short answer is, "we have no idea," and that's the point of a new book by Jorge Cham and Daniel Whiteson. During this hour of River to River , host Ben Kieffer talks with Cham and Whiteson about their new book We Have No Idea: A Guide to the Unknown Universe.

As you know, Joshua and Jason like to take a detour from whisky now and again. In previous episodes the boys interviewed Garth Ennis (writer of the cult classic comics Preacher and The Boys, now major TV shows on AMC and Amazon, respectively), Adal Rifai (comedian and Chuntttttt from Hello from the Magic Tavern), and Matthew Rhys (Emmy Award winning actor from The Americans, The Post, and A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood). Today's detour takes us out of this world! Well, out of the whisky-world and into the great wide world of particle physics and The Universe... The guest today is famed Particle Physicist Daniel Whiteson. Daniel, and his good friend Jorge Cham, creator of PhD Comics, co-host the podcast "Daniel and Jorge Explain The Universe". They're also the co-authors of We Have No Idea: A Guide to the Unknown Universe. If you'd like, you can watch Daniel's TED Talk HERE.  So, as usual, have a seat, have a pour, and listen in. Unless you're driving. If you're driving, be smart and stay sober but be sure to listen into the conversation!

  Jorge Cham and Daniel Whiteson have co-authored We Have No Idea: A Guide to The Unknown Universe. Jorge Cham is the creator of PHD Comics and Daniel Whiteson is a particle physicist at the University of California Irvine. In this book they explain everything we DON'T know about the Universe, from Cosmic Rays and Dark Matter to time travel and the Big Bang. Filled with their popular infographics, cartoons, and clear and entertaining explanations, this book is perfect for anyone who's curious about science and all the big questions we still haven't answered.  Plus, a new segment, Progressive Short, a five minute news report on issues that matter. This week, Les Jamieson talks with John Shuck about Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) that is set to expire on Dec. 31st, 2017. This is the language which allows for warrantless spying on all Americans by the NSA. According to Mr. Jamieson, there is legislation before congress to extend Section 702 and make warrantless spying legal and permanent. More information about the call to action to end this extention is found at his website, HR14.org.  Les Jamieson 3:41 - 9:37 Cham and Whiteson 9:37-53:00   

Lots of excitement out there about the discovery of the so-called Moroccan jawbone (nyti.ms/2uf5nSi) which upset received wisdom on the history of humankind. Bernard, Marianne, and Peter discuss what science knows (and doesn't). Bernard reveals that he is secretly a flat-earther, and Charles Darwin is discussed admiringly. Bernard interviews Philip on being a Christian and being a scientist. Then, as part of a continuing discussion of the document "Foundations of our Faith and Calling," the Bruderhof's public account of faith, they talk about the Bruderhof's twenty year sojourn in Paraguay, South America. Also, moss piglets.

Everything you need to know about everything we don’t yet know. This month’s book is We have no idea by the creators of PHD Comics, Jorge Cham and Daniel Whiteson. It discusses the great unsolved problems of physics in a way which is guaranteed to entertain.  We hear from the authors, and the Chemistry World team discuss why the llama is the perfect animal for explaining the concept of binding energy.

PHD Comics creator Jorge Cham and particle physicist Daniel Whiteson have teamed up on We Have No Idea: A Guide to the Unknown Universe, an entertaining and lucid explanation of particle physics—what little we know of it. Exploring the biggest unknowns in the universe, they ponder why these things are still mysteries, and what a lot of smart people are doing to figure out the answers (or at least ask the right questions). They also work to demystify many complicated things we do know about, from quarks and neutrinos to gravitational waves and exploding black holes. With humor and relatability, they invite us to see the universe as a vast expanse of mostly uncharted territory that’s still ours to explore. Watch a video. Recorded live at Town Hall Seattle Saturday, May 20, 2017

"I wrote this book with Jorge Cham because we were really excited to share our enthusiasm for exploring the unknown, or looking out into the universe and thinking about the possible crazy things that could be revealed to us. There are lots of books out there about science and explaining what science does know and all the amazing things science has learned, but we really felt like nobody was talking about what we don’t know, what’s out there left for young people who are going into science to discover and people who are interested in science, what they might learn. "

RadioScience har sett en film! Och inte vilken film som helst utan Jorge Chams PHD Movie 2 : still in grad school. Jorge Cham började teckna serier om doktoranders vardag när han själv var doktorand och driver sedan ungefär 10 år PhD Comics på heltid. Vi träffade honom när han var på besök i Sverige, på filmvisning på Karolinska Institutet i Stockholm. Hör honom berätta mer om filmen och vad han svarar på era lyssnarfrågor, bland annat från bloggen Gilla Serier. Vi träffar också några doktorander efter filmvisningen.

Good & Bad Calories (starts at 4:50) Ever since the 1970s, the rise of obesity in the United States has an epidemic. Researchers around the world are trying desperately to figure out why so many of us get fat, and what we can do to change that.  A large amount of funding, and support from public health policy, goes toward the hypothesis that we get fat because we eat too many calories and do not exercise enough; when someone eats more calories than they need, the instructions go, they should exercise.  That's "Calories in, Calories Out."  But recently, an expert with a different point of view spoke to a packed audience of doctors, staff and medical students at the University of Colorado Medical Center.  The expert is Gary Taubes, the author of the New York Times bestsellers "Good Calories, Bad Calories" and "Why We Get Fat".  Taubes is also the recipient of angel investor funds: $60 million to devote to research to better understand how the kinds of foods we eat affect our metabolism.  Central to Taubes' ideas is the opinion that "Calories in, Calories Out" simply cannot be enough to explain, or help people, maintain a healthy weight.  In this feature, we provide an excerpt from his talk at the CU Medical School. PhD Comics (starts at 13:50) Unless you work in science, you may not always be aware of the humor that goes on among scientists and what the culture is like.  So what better way to show the comic parts of science than by way of a comic strip?  One of the more well-known science-oriented comic strips is called "PhD Comics" and is written by Jorge Cham, who is trained as an engineer, holds a bachelors degree from Georgia Tech and a PhD in robotics from Stanford.  He also was an instructor at Caltech, a researcher in a neuroscience lab, where he studied brain-and-machine interfaces, and he also has a chemistry background.  So he has a wide set of experiences to draw on...literally DRAW on...for his comic.  We talk with Jorge Cham to find out more about the comic and other ways the scientist comic artist unveils the secret lives of scientists and, in particular, science grad students.
