Podcasts about stiff the curious lives

Why are the elderly our top candidates for a Mars mission? How bad is sexual intercourse while researchers are asking questions? What's it like to be mugged by monkeys? Zachary and Emma speak with Mary Roach, the eclectic and quirky author of several books about what she calls "curious science," including "Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers" and "Bonk: The Curious Coupling of Science and Sex." They discuss body decomposition, the psychological and physical challenges of a Mars mission, and the importance of looking at the lesser-known aspects of human science. What Could Go Right? is produced by The Progress Network and The Podglomerate.

SHOW SPONSOR SHGAPE & The Journal of the Gilded Age and Progressive EraI have never thought of funeral directors as the preservationists of Gilded Age architecture, but they are. Thanks to Dr. Dean Lampros's cross-disciplinary research on the cultural history of these residential funeral parlours we see the remnants of the Gilded Age in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Dean joins me to discuss his new book, and the amazing research he has compiled.Essential Reading:Dean Lampros, Preserved: A Cultural History of the Funeral Home in America (2024).Recommended Reading:Jessica Mitford, The American Way of Death (1963).

Mary Roach visits Google to discuss her book "Fuzz: When Nature Breaks the Law." What's to be done about a jaywalking moose? A bear caught breaking and entering? A murderous tree? Three hundred years ago, animals that broke the law would be assigned legal representation and put on trial. These days, the answers are best found not in jurisprudence but in science: the curious science of human-wildlife conflict, a discipline at the crossroads of human behavior and wildlife biology.  Mary Roach is the author of six New York Times bestsellers, including "Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers"; "Gulp: Adventures on the Alimentary Canal", and "Packing for Mars: The Curious Science of Life in the Void." Her books have been published in 21 languages, and her second book, "Spook: Science Tackles the Afterlife", was a New York Times Notable Book. Mary has written for National Geographic, Wired, The New York Times Magazine, and the Journal of Clinical Anatomy, among others.  Visit http://youtube.com/TalksAtGoogle/ to watch the video.                               

Author Mary Roach is a hands-on writer specializing in science related topics that tap into some of the more curious and unexpected nooks of our lives. But “hands-on” doesn't fully capture the lengths she'll go to capture her stories – for her book examining the intricacies of sex, science, and relationships, she convinced her husband to have sex while monitored and recorded in an MRI, Ultrasound, Sonogram-like device…Really, no Really! Mary Roach is an author specializing in popular science and humor having written seven New York Times bestsellers, including Bonk: The Curious Coupling of Science and Sex, STIFF: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers; GULP: Adventures on the Alimentary Canal, and PACKING FOR MARS: The Curious Science of Life in the Void and her latest book, FUZZ: When Nature Breaks the Law.

Her 2009 TED talk, "Ten Things You Didn't Know About Orgasm", made the organization's list of top 10 most popular talks of all time. IN THIS EPISODE: How Mary chooses esoteric and often taboo topics. Women's sexual arousal can be measured…or can it? Mary embraces the taboo, including researching how astronauts avoid “fecal decapitation.” The shocking places where donated cadavers can end up. Using the Scientific Method to “prove” the existence of a higher power. India's battles with elephants and monkeys.

Mary Roach is the author of seven nonfiction books, including Fuzz: When Nature Breaks the Law. "In these realms of the taboo, there's a tremendous amount of material that is really interesting, but that people have stayed away from. ... I'm kind of a bottom feeder. It's down there on the bottom where people don't want to go. But if that's what it takes to find interesting, new material, I'm fine with it. I don't care. I'm not easily grossed out. I don't feel that there's any reason why we shouldn't look at this. And over time, I started to feel that ... the taboo was preventing people from having conversations that it would be healthy to have."

Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers by Mary Roach (2003)

WARNING: This episode contains content related to mortuary science that some listeners may find disturbing. Korn frontman Jonathan Davis delves into his past as a mortician with popular science bestselling author, Mary Roach. Mary wrote the hit book Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers and the two have no shortage of gory details to discuss. We talk about the biology of human corpse decomposition and preservation, embalming techniques (including but not limited to anal suturing), Elvis's autopsy, and more!

Do you like scary movies? Yes, course you do – you're listening to a horror podcast.Okay, cliched horror quote asides – this week is something a little different for the show. It's been a minute since we've had some non-fiction, and how better to scratch that itch-for-facts than with a discussion of BRAINZZZZZ?Our guest is Nina Nesseth: scientist, researcher and author of Nightmare Fuel: The Science of Horror Films. It does what it says on the cover. Nina guides us through a century of horror cinema, looking at how we, as a species, react neurologically and physiologically to scenes of blood, violence and carnage. Think of it, perhaps, as a tour of the most haunted house of all, the human mind. We dissect everything ­– movies, culture, eyeballs (prepare yourself!), and the trailer for Rob Zombie's The Munsters. We also talk about communicating science in the new age of anti-rationality, how our brains can tell screens and real life apart, the best ever decade for horror, and we mock the phrase elevated horror in all the ways that stupid term deserves. Enjoy!Nightmare Fuel: The Science of Horror Films was published on July 19th by Tor NightfireOther books discussed in this episode include:Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers (2003), by Mary RoachFound Footage and The Appearance of Reality (2014), by Alexandra Heller-Nicholls Support Talking Scared on PatreonCome talk books on Twitter @talkscaredpod, on Instagram, or email direct to talkingscaredpod@gmail.com Support the show

How do you get people to read about science who don't think they're interested in science? You entertain people, you fascinate them-- ultimately you make them care." Beloved nature and science writer Mary Roach is here with new book in hand called Fuzz: When Nature Breaks the Law. What's to be done about a jaywalking moose? A bear caught breaking and entering? A murderous tree? Three hundred years ago, animals that broke the law would be assigned legal representation and put on trial. These days, the answers are best found not in jurisprudence but in science: the curious science of human-wildlife conflict, a discipline at the crossroads of human behavior and wildlife biology. Daniel and Mary also discuss many personal issues-- how did Mary get into science writing in the first place? How does music contribute to her ability to write? How can science and the humanities help each other, coexist in a better way?

Have you ever thought about what you want to happen to your body after you die? The two most common options are cremation and burial, but did you know there is a wide variety of options available? Do you know what it means by "donating your body to science"? Do you know what the most environmentally friendly options are? Mary Roach brilliantly explores the many avenues available for human cadavers, and while this book may seem morbid, we both found it quite fascinating and easily approachable. To accompany us, we poured a "stiff drink", AKA a dry Hendricks gin martini. We want to hear what you think!

Ethik und Wissenschaft – eine überflüssige Episode? Es gibt Wissenschafter, die sich auf die Position zurückziehen: Wissenschaft wäre nur Erkenntnisgewinn, Ethik beginnt bestenfalls mit der Anwendung. Ethik und Philosophie wären recht überflüssige Tätigkeiten, lästig und nicht hilfreich. Ich teile diese Ansicht nicht – ich hoffe auch Sie nicht, nachdem Sie diese Episode gehört haben. Zwei Thesen zu Beginn: Nassim Taleb: »Wissenschaft ist großartig, aber einzelne Wissenschafter sind gefährlich«  Daraus folgt aus meiner Sicht: wir dürfen Wissenschaft als Gesellschaft keinesfalls den Wissenschaftern alleine überlassen sondern müssen uns energisch einbringen Warum ist das so? Wir beginnen mit einem kurzen Blick in die jüngere Vergangenheit bevor wir uns in die Gegenwart und Zukunft begeben. Dazu drei wesentliche Aspekte: Erkenntnisse die unter ethisch sehr fragwürdigen Rahmenbedingungen entstanden sind (»Nazi« Forschung, Experimente an Menschen in den 1960er und 1970er Jahren!) – wie gehen wir damit um? Wissenschafter mit problematischen politischen oder ethischen Ansichten (wie Martin Heidegger, Johannes Stark und Philipp Lenard, die Agitatoren einer deutschen versus »jüdischen« Physik) Und der Blick in Gegenwart und Zukunft: wie gehen wir mit dem enormen Potential wissenschaftlicher Möglichkeiten um, die aber ethisch umstritten sind, z.B. die Stammzellenforschung, aber auch mit ethischen Herausforderungen, die sich aus unserem kapitalistischen System ergeben. Dies betrifft etwa die Pharma-Industrie, aber auch sehr stark die Digitalisierung und Innovationen im Bereich der Informatik. In 20 Minuten wie immer, ein erster Gedankengang, den wir später noch vertiefen können.

Though she didn't earn a degree in the sciences, author Mary Roach has a knack for writing about them with insight and wit. Whether she's describing what happens to the body after death or the many aspects of human sexuality, Roach makes her topics accessible and fun. Roach has authored half a dozen books including: Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers, Spook: Science Tackles the Afterlife and Bonk: The Curious Coupling of Science and Sex, as well as articles for magazines including Vogue, GQ, and National Geographic. Mary Roach sat down with Jesse about whether shark repellant actually exists, life on submarines and how leaches inspired her to write a book on military science, Grunt. William Bell is a soul singer and songwriter whose distinctive sound is forever associated with the legendary Stax Records. Along with with performers like Otis Redding, Sam and Duke, Isaac Hayes and the Staple Singers, Bell helped create music that continues to entertain and inspire. He is famous for his hit songs including You Don't Miss Your Water, Private Number, A Tribute to the King and Everybody Loves a Winner. He also co-wrote the classic song, Born Under a Bad Sign which was originally performed by Albert King and later covered by Jimi Hendrix, Etta James, Cream and even Homer Simpson. William Bell joined Jesse to talk about what it was like beginning his musical career while still a teenager, how he returned to his career after being drafted and his new album out on Stax Records, This is Where I Live. Jesse shares why Tanya Tucker's voice and classic song, What's Your Mama's Name manages to move him every time he hears it.

Show #132 | Guest: Mary Roach is a funny and fascinating writer who first arrived in San Francisco in the early 1980s. She’s written six hugely popular science books including Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers (2003), Bonk: The Curious Coupling of Science and Sex (2008), and Gulp: Adventures on the Alimentary Canal (2013). Clearly a common theme throughout Mary's books is a literary treatment of the human body. When asked by NPR how she picks her topics, she replied, "Well, it's got to have a little science, it's got to have a little history, a little humor - and something gross." | Show Summary: Mary Roach’s new book Grunt tackles the science behind being a soldier. In it, Mary visits a re-purposed movie studio where amputee actors help prepare Marine Corps medics for facing combat wounds. She also samples caffeinated meat, sniffs a WWII stink bomb, and tends to the missiles on a nuclear submarine. Once you listen to this insightful interview, ou'll never see the art of war the same way again.

Portland Pride Stands Up For OrlandoAfter the shooting at the Pulse night club in Orlando, leaders of Portland Pride and community members have organized several candlelight vigils, and many artists, arts groups and pride parties are re-configuring their plans to lend their support to the victims of the tragedy. We talk with Don Horn, the founder of Triangle Productions, a theater well-known for producing LGBT plays. Currently, they're sending a percentage of ticket sales for "American Idiot" (June 9–July 2) to the Orlando's LGBT community Center. Portland Music Distributor Closes Doors, Leaving Hundreds of Bands And Labels In The Lurch - 1:50Several hundred small music labels and recording artists around the world — including Portland's Pink Martini, Cappella Roman, Three Leg Torso, and more — are faced with buying their own music back from Portland distributor, Allegro Media Group. Several labels and artists affected by the liquidation told OPB they were not notified by the company about what was happening, and have been desperate to get information. Writer Lindy West Takes On The Trolls With Humor - 8:15Lindy West started her writing career focused on comedy and popular culture at “The Stranger,” a Seattle weekly. But a funny thing happened on the way to a career of movie reviews and standup listings. West started writing about things she couldn’t avoid any more: About being fat. About finding rape jokes offensive and culturally corrosive. And about the vicious responses she got to her outspoken feminism. She captures her hilarious, and at times troubling, experience in "Shrill: Notes From a Loud Woman." Darcelle XV Shines As America's Oldest Drag Queen - 18:44Oregon-native Walter Cole had no idea when he opened a small, lesbian-geared bar in 1967 that it would become a drag club, least of all what's widely believed to be the longest-running drag show west of the Mississippi. Since he first put on a gown, he's gone on to perform two shows a night, five nights a week for decades, transforming his bar into an institution that has influenced generations of Oregonians.Writer Mary Roach On Maggots And Penis Transplants - 24:38Mary Roach has made a name for herself for bringing humor to the darker corners of science with books like "Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers" and "Bonk: The Curious Coupling of Science and Sex." Now she takes on the science of modern warfare with "Grunt: The Curious Science of Humans at War,” plumbing into why diarrhea is a threat to national security and how maggots became and FDA-approved medical device. opbmusic Big SXSW Discovery: Big Thief - 34:19When opbmusic producers stumbled on to Big Thief at South by Southwest this year, they couldn’t wait to get the word out. Just a week later, the folk-tinged indie rock band from Brooklyn trekked to Portland for its first ever radio session. The band’s first album, “Masterpiece,” was released by Saddle Creek Records in May.Peter Sagal Takes Us Behind The Scenes On "Wait Wait...Don't Tell Me!" - 44:45There’s likely no one in less need of an introduction to public radio listeners than NPR host Peter Sagal, who is bringing "Wait Wait...Don't Tell Me!" back to the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall on June 23–24. We got Sagal on the phone to talk about what it was like to transition from writing plays to comedy, why he has to write 20 jokes just to get one good one, and why it's so hard to poke fun at Donald Trump.

Host: Indre Viskontas In the science section at your local bookstore, you'll find plenty of books on everything from the brain, to the climate, to the cosmos. But how many books will you find that take you on a tour of the digestive tract—from our mouths, to our stomachs, to our intestines? Popular science writer Mary Roach's new book, Gulp, does just that. Decoding the science of taboo topics like vaginal weight-lifting, amputee bowling leagues, and how much food it takes to burst a human stomach has become the signature style of Roach, who has been described by the Washington Post as "America's funniest science writer." Mary Roach writes about human bodies in unusual circumstances and does not shy away from things that are gross. Her previous best-selling books include: Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers, Spook: Science Tackles the Afterlife, Bonk: The Curious Coupling of Science and Sex, and Packing for Mars: The Curious Science of Life in the Void but today we’ll be discussing Gulp: Adventures on the Alimentary Canal.

Host: Leslie P. Lundt, MD Guest: Mary Roach Remember the first time you walked into anatomy lab? For many of us, it was a defining moment in our medical careers. Have you ever thought about those cadavers? Has medical training become more sensitive to these brave souls that dedicated their bodies to science? Host Dr. Leslie Lundt welcomes Mary Roach, the acclaimed author of Stiff - The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers to discuss these issues.
