I wasn't worried about climate change. Now I am.

Science with Sabine ·

2024/02/11

In this episode I explain what climate sensitivity is and why it is important. Climate sensitivity is a number that roughly speaking tells us how fast climate change will get worse. A few years ago, after various software improvements, a bunch of climate models began having a much higher climate sensitivity than previously. Climate scientists have come up with reasons for why to ignore this. I think it's a bad idea to ignore this. This episode comes with a quiz which you can take here.

Why is nuclear power so expensive?

Science with Sabine ·

2023/12/31

Out of the many bad arguments against nuclear power, there are two good arguments: It's too expensive and the power plants take too long to build. But are they true? And if so, why is it that nuclear power is so slow and so costly? This episode comes with a quiz which you can take here.

Gravity is not a force. But what does this mean?

Science with Sabine ·

2023/12/31

Just exactly what does it mean that gravity is not a force? In this episode, I will revisit the question and explain why you are currently accelerating upwards, and how Einstein's equivalence principle works. The quiz for this episode is here.

The biggest gap in science: complexity

Science with Sabine ·

2023/12/17

Everyone loves to talk about complex problems and complex systems, but no one has any idea what it means. I think that understanding complexity is THE biggest gap in science today. What do we even mean by complexity? What do we know about it? And what’s the problem with trying to explain it? That’s what we’ll talk about in this video. This episode comes with a quiz which you can take here.

These scientists got sued for doing their job

Science with Sabine ·

2023/12/17

Science and the law come in to conflict more often than you might think. In this episode I want to tell you about several cases that I have followed which have concerned me greatly. The issue here isn't the actual scientific evidence, it is rather the way that scientists pursue and discuss this evidence, usually in a straight-forward and frank manner that doesn't sit well with courts. Please feel free to support Data Colada's legal defense here. This episode comes with a quiz which

All you need to know about Long COVID

Science with Sabine ·

2023/11/30

Estimates say that as many as 1 in 10 people who had COVID were still affected more than 3 months later. This health condition has become known as long COVID. In this video, we will be discussing what long COVID is, how long it lasts, how common it is, what you should do if you think you’re affected, and more. This episode comes with a quiz which you can take here.
