Labrador Morning from CBC Radio Nfld. and Labrador (Highlights)
We hear about an event that's soon to be on everyone's lips in Labrador City this weekend— especially since there'll be a workshop on how lipstick is made. They're even talking about the science of lipsology! We get a preview of the Science Rendezvous event in Labrador City.
In this special episode, GradCast heads out into the field - literally! Hosts Amalie Hutchinson, Scott Walters, Jordan Vanderburgt, Carly Charron, Brittany Melton, and Mark Ambrogio do 5-second interviews with kids attending Science Rendezvous. They share what they want to be when they grow up, what the like most about science, and their favourite class at school. Recorded on May 13, 2023 Theme song provided by https://freebeats.io/ Produced by White Hot. Produced by Amalie Hutchinson

Shari L. Forbes is the Canada 150 Research Chair in Forensic Thanatology at the Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières (UQTR). She is the Director of the first human taphonomy facility in Canada for Recherche en Sciences Thanatologiques [Expérimentales et Sociales], also referred to as REST[ES]. She is an advocate for Equity, Diversity and Inclusivity (EDI) and has a deep commitment to the implementation of EDI values in academia. She has encouraged young adults to become engaged in science through her roles as an Ambassador for the Sydney Science Festival, the National Youth Science Forum, and Science Rendezvous.Prof. Forbes' research investigates the chemical processes that occur in soft tissue decomposition. Her research aims to increase the knowledge base relating to decomposition chemistry to identify an accurate biochemical signature for estimating time since death. She has studied these processes in terrestrial, aquatic, and atmospheric environments throughout Australia, Canada and the USA. Her current research focuses on identifying an accurate chemical profile of decomposition odour using advanced chemical instrumentation. Her research assists police canine units to enhance their training protocols for cadaver-detection dogs deployed to forensic and mass disaster investigations. Her expertise is regularly requested to assist police with locating and recovering buried or concealed evidence, including human remains, drugs, explosives, weapons, and currency.

Chapter 1
They're a spooky staple of Halloween, and one of the creepy critters often cited among the scariest, but that's not stopping one SFU researcher from studying spiders. Andreas Fischer has dedicated his career to learning about spiders, and runs a lab that houses more than 600 of them. And if you're an SFU student, you might want to close your eyes for this part: he collects them from the university's hallways. Andreas joins Simi to dispel some common myths and unfounded fears about spiders at this year's Science Rendezvous. Guest: Andreas Fischer ‘The Spider Guy' SFU PhD student
Episode 7: SciRen pt2 picks up where we left off last weekend during the Science Rendezvous in Toronto. The 'percolating' sounds are the Bryophytes while the more rhythmic patterns are of the Mycelium. In between, you will occasionally hear blips, bleeps and bloops. These sounds are coming from the Humans that bravely allowed us to hook them up into the Network. While not extraordinarily musical perhaps interesting. Thanks again for tuning in! Next Saturday's episode features the Mycelium with Moog's new Sub-Harmonicon. Part of Nanotopia is currently attending Moogfest. Yay for them! ;)

For this session I sent the Midi into a MeeBlip Anode and Triode. The Mycelium recorded here has been growing since February. Now it appears Physarum polycephalum is starting to grow on the Mycelium… I think one of the electrodes from my last session must have had slime on it. Oops! Hopefully they aren’t in a battle here, but the sounds tonight are a bit different. Tonight I hooked up two different sets of electrodes to the Mycelium, running through two different circuit boards, that translate the Mycelium impulses to Midi. A friend was visiting and during recording this friend fell asleep on the studio floor. So, I hooked up one set of electrodes to my friend! Haha. They snored away, without even noticing. At this point the Mycelium send out different impulses! More harmonic, if you will. Were the Mycelium aware of my friend? Who knows!? Next week’s episode will be live recorded during the University of Toronto’s, Science Rendezvous! If you happen to be in Toronto make sure to visit 100 Saint George Street, Nanotopia and the Mycelium Network will be in Sidney Smith Hall, Room 1070. Thanks for tuning in!
