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. Originally from Panama, Cham earned his Ph.D. in robotics from Stanford University and was a researcher at Caltech.You can contact Dr. Eeks at bloomingwellness.com.Follow Eeks on Instagram here.Or Facebook here.Or X.On Youtube.Or TikTok.SUBSCRIBE to her monthly newsletter here.Support the show

Colin says it's the end of Western civilization, or something like that. But is it? And: Seth Rogen has gone on the record about how “devastating” critiques of his work can be. It's a topic this week's Nose, which includes America's Greatest Living Film Critic, couldn't resist. And finally: Star Trek: Picard is the eighth Star Trek television series and the second series in the expanded Star Trek universe (I don't really know what that is). It's a sequel to the third Star Trek television series, Star Trek: The Next Generation, and it starts 20 years after the last Next Generation movie, Star Trek: Nemesis (2002).

Proudly sponsored by PyMC Labs, the Bayesian Consultancy. Book a call, or get in touch!What happens inside a black hole? Can we travel back in time? Why is the Universe even here? 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. They are among my all-time favorites.Our theme music is « Good Bayesian », by Baba Brinkman (feat MC Lars and Mega Ran).

Maybe you've also asked, what are the odds of meeting your “older self” inside a wormhole? From the profound to the outrageous, it's totally normal to wonder and to search for answers to the meaning of life and the universe. Two scientists, podcasters, and co-creators of the Emmy-Nominated animated series Elinor Wonders Why, have written a book called Frequently Asked Questions about the Universe. They join us to share what they know and answer listener questions about the final frontier.

An eminent physicist at CERN and the cartoonist behind the hugely successful PhD Comics answer the most important, most outrageous and funniest questions about everything. You've got questions: about space, time, gravity and the odds of meeting your older self inside a wormhole. All the answers you need are right here. As a species, we may not agree on much, but one thing brings us all together: a need to know. We all wonder, and deep down we all have the same big questions. Why can't I travel back in time? Where did the universe come from? What's inside a black hole? Can I rearrange the particles in my cat and turn it into a dog? Physics professor Daniel Whiteson and researcher-turned-cartoonist Jorge Cham are experts at explaining science in ways we can all understand, in their books and on their popular podcast, Daniel and Jorge Explain the Universe. With their signature blend of humour and oh-now-I-get-it clarity, Jorge and Daniel offer short, accessible and lighthearted answers to some of the most common, most outrageous and most profound questions about the universe they've been asked. This witty and entertaining audiobook is an essential troubleshooting guide for the perplexing aspects of reality, big and small, from the invisible particles that make up your body to the identical version of you currently reading this exact sentence in the corner of some other galaxy. If the universe came with an FAQ, this would be it.

Ever wonder what’s out there in the universe, but tired of being bored to death by bookworm scientists? Well today I’m speaking with Daniel Whiteson. 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!

They blinded me with SCIENCE! And hit me with some comedy! (Okay, that meets my weekly quota of 80's pop song references.You're welcome, Thomas Dolby.) Lauren and Nick are a great couple. And super-smart, too! I'm very glad that I got to do a science-themed show. I had even suggested that they create a YouTube channel for their show after our interview, but right now they're a bit focused on a little thing they're calling "their wedding.." (Okay, I guess I could be a bit patient...) They pull no punches debunking the ridiculous scientific theories posted on social media. Okay, read that again..."scientific theories on social media" . In other words, their podcast content would be the equivalent to shooting fish in a barrel. Which I've never really understood the concept of. Why can't Twitter explain that? But trust me, you WILL learn from this podcast. And laugh. And be able to smack down stupid Tweeters. One podcast-3 results!
