Sous notre Gravillon vous trouverez... 4 podcasts complémentaires, 1 site, 1 compte Insta, une page et un groupe Facebook, et une chaîne YouTube 1 asso dédiés au Vivant: https://baleinesousgravillon.com/liens-2 ______   Le prix Ig Nobel (prononcé Ignobel, en référence à "ignoble" est un prix parodique créé en 1991. Il distingue chaque année 10 recherches scientifiques au premier abord loufoques, qui amènent ensuite à réfléchir.   Quelques primés récents: Biologie : Susanne Schötz pour avoir analysé les variations de ronronnements, hurlements, grognements, miaulements et autres variations entre le chat et l'humain. Entomologie : John Mulrennan, Jr., Roger Grothaus, Charles Hammond et Jay Lamdin, pour leur étude sur une nouvelle méthode de contrôle des cafards dans les sous - marins. Transport : Robin Radcliffe, Mark Jago, Peter Morkel, Estelle Morkel, Pierre du Preez, Piet Beytell, Birgit Kotting, Bakker Manuel, Jan Hendrik du Preez, Michele Miller, Julia Felippe, Stephen Parry et Robin Gleed, pour avoir déterminé s'il est plus sûr de transporter un rhinocéros en vol la tête en bas. Acoustique : Stephan Reber, Takeshi Nishimura, Judith Janisch, Mark Robertson et Tecumseh Fitch pour avoir introduit un alligator de Chine dans une pièce étanche remplie d'air enrichi à l'hélium afin d'étudier les changements dans la fréquence de ses vocalisations. Physique : à Patricia Yang, Alexander Lee, Miles Chan, Alynn Martin, Ashley Edwards, Scott Carver, et David Hu pour avoir découvert comment et pourquoi les wombats font des crottes cubiques. Biologie : à une équipe formée de deux Japonais, d'un Brésilien et d'un Suisse pour avoir démontré l'existence d'un pénis chez le représentant femelle des insectes du genre Neotrogla et d'un vagin chez le représentant mâle. Littérature : Fredrik Sjöberg (Suède) pour son travail autobiographique en 3 volumes traitant de son plaisir à collectionner des mouches mortes et des mouches qui ne sont pas mortes. etc ... ______   NB: Tous ces podcasts sont bénévoles et gratuits.

In this episode, we finally learn the answer to why wombats have cubed poop, learn how all of us mammals are bonded by our bowels, find out about something called the Law of Urination, and learn that we are in deep doo-doo as we discover the Global Feces Problem. Patricia Yang is a postdoc in Civil and Environmental Engineering, where she is studying the collective behavior of birds. Before coming to Stanford, she completed doctoral and postdoctoral studies in Mechanical Engineering at Georgia Institute of Technology on the fluid mechanics of body fluids, in particular, blood, feces, and urine. She received bachelor's degrees in Engineering Science and Ocean Engineering (ESOE) and Physics from National Taiwan University. Yang was the recipient of the Sigma Xi Best Thesis award and the Ig Nobel Prize in Physics. Her work has been featured on CNN, the BBC, National Public Radio, National Geographic, and The Times. In addition to conducting research, she teaches fluid mechanics at all levels, from elementary school to college. https://www.patriciayang.net/ (https://www.patriciayang.net/) https://charity.gofundme.com/o/en/campaign/the-wild-lifes-binoculars-for-young-birders-and-naturalist-kits/thewildlife (Donate to the Binoculars for Young Birders Program here) Support The Wild Life at https://www.patreon.com/thewildlife (https://www.patreon.com/thewildlife) Patricia's book recommendation: https://www.amazon.com/How-Walk-Water-Climb-Walls/dp/0691169861 (How to Walk on Water and Climb up Walls) Support this podcast

This week on Science for the People, everybody poops! And everybody pees. But we probably don't spend a lot of time thinking about exactly how that works. Well, put down your lunch and listen up. We're talking with David Chu, a pediatric urological surgeon about urine. Then we'll hear from his brother, Daniel Chu, who's a colorectal surgeon, about poop. Finally, we'll hear from IgNobel prize winner Patricia Yang about her work studying the flow rate of mammal pee, and why all mammals pee and poop at the same rate.

Este año se celebra la edición 25º de los premios IgNobel, los galardones científicos donde se premia a los investigadores más cuñaos. Así que nos hemos puesto las batas, los guantes y nos hemos metido en el laboratorio para grabar el episodio con más ciencia de nuestra historia. Hemos recopilado algunos de los IgNobel más divertidos, así que prepara el pañuelo porque te vamos a hacer llorar de risa otra vez. Si cada vez que tu cuñao lee una noticia sobre la NASA te explica que con todos esos millones podrían acabar con el hambre del mundo, entonces este es tu episodio favorito. Recomiéndale nuestro podcast de humor. Aquí tienes más información sobre los premios IgNobel que mencionamos en el episodio: 1992 – Medicina F. Kanda, E. Yagi, M. Fukuda, K. Nakajima, T. Ohta y O. Nakata, del Shisedo Research Center, en Yokohama, por su estudio «Elucidación de los compuestos químicos responsables del mal olor de los pies» y en particular por su conclusión de que «a la gente que cree que le huelen mal los pies, ciertamente le huelen mal, y a los que creen que no, no». 2013 – Salud pública Kasian Bhanganada, Tu Chayavatana, Chumporn Pongnumkul, Anunt Tonmukayakul, Piyasakol Sakolsatayadorn, Krit Komaratal, y Henry Wilde, por el conjunto de técnicas para tratar amputaciones de penes que describen en su informe «Surgical Management of an Epidemic of Penile Amputations in Siam». Eso sí, no son aplicables si el pene ha sido parcialmente comido por un pato. 2011 – Paz Arturas Zuokas, alcalde de Vilna, Lituania, por demostrar que el problema del aparcamiento ilegal de los coches de lujo se puede resolver arrollándolos con un tanque. 2013 – Probabilidad Bert Tolkamp, Marie Haskell, Fritha Langford, David Roberts, y Colin Morgan por dos descubrimientos relacionados. El primero, que cuanto más tiempo lleve una vaca tumbada más probable es que se levante pronto; el segundo, que en cuanto una vaca se levanta no puedes predecir fácilmente cuanto tardará en tumbarse de nuevo: «Are Cows More Likely to Lie Down the Longer They Stand?». 2015 – Física Patricia Yang, David Hu, y Jonathan Pham, Jerome Choo, por probar el principio biológico de que prácticamente todos los mamíferos vacían sus vejigas en unos 21 segundos (± 13 segundos). 2015 – Biología Bruno Grossi, Omar Larach, Mauricio Canals, Rodrigo A. Vásquez, José Iriarte-Díaz, por observar que al adherir un palo con cierto peso al trasero de una gallina, ésta camina de una manera similar a la que se cree que caminaban los dinosaurios. 2000 – Física Andre Geim de la Universidad de Nimega y Sir Michael Berry de la Universidad de Bristol, por usar imanes para hacer levitar a una rana y a un luchador de sumo. En 2010 Andre Geim ganó el Premio Nobel de Física por el descubrimiento del grafeno.   Todos los episodios de Planeta Cuñao están disponibles en Cuonda y nuestra web.
