16. Working with 4500 salmon - w/ Andrew House

The Science Basement Podcast ·

2018/06/19

Welcome back to The Science Basement Podcast! Our guest this week is Andrew House, who is a PhD student in Wildlife Biology at the University of Helsinki, Finland. He works with a large sample of Atlantic Salmon and studies the fat composition in these fish during their early development (from the stage of embryo up to 2.5 years into their life!). ...and, of course, it wouldn't be an episode of the TSB podcast without a science anecdote. This time we talk about the medaka fish, the little japanese

Welcome back to The Science Basement Podcast! Our guest this week is Alexander Meaney, who is a doctoral student in the computational inverse problem group at the Department of Mathematics of the University of Helsinki. He works on reconstructing 3D images from 2D X-Ray screenings! His research aims at improving the current techniques, so that patients would need less X-Ray screenings to get their 3D image, which means that they would be exposed to less radiation. ...and, of course, it wouldn't be

The Science Basement Podcast ·

2018/04/11

Welcome back to The Science Basement Podcast! Our guest this week is Juan Landoni, who works at the University of Helsinki on mitochondrial diseases. Mitochondrial diseases start from the mitochondria that are inside our cells and there is still much effort to be put into understanding them and curing them. ...and, of course, it wouldn't be an episode of the TSB podcast without a science anecdote. This time we talk about how Alexander "Mr. Bragger" Fleming discovered the penicillin by

2018/03/28

Welcome back to The Science Basement Podcast! Our guest this week is Yongmei Gong, who also is a TSB "honourable" member since she recently got her PhD. She works at the Institute of Atmospheric Science and Earth System Research at the University of Helsinki. She works on glaciers, and in particular on ice shelves and ice caps. We talk about how fast glaciers are "running", which means how fast they are melting! ...and, of course, it wouldn't be an episode of the TSB podcast without a science

2018/02/28

Welcome back to The Science Basement Podcast! This episode takes us to interstellar space! We talk with Elisabetta Micelotta, who is an astrophysicist at the University of Helsinki. She studies interstellar dust, which is solid matter that can be found in the space between stars. Interstellar dust absorbs light from the stars and re-emits it in other wavelengths, and also contributes to stars formation itself! ~•~•~ Where you can find us: Homepage: www.thesciencebasement.org Facebook:
