Biology Baubles

Written by: CFRC Podcast Network
  • Summary

  • Biology is a science of wonder, among other things. The nitty gritty that turns so many people don’t have the time to fully digest or understand. Biology Baubles would be the front page of everyday conversational biology; in-depth fun facts with none of the heavy memorization or tedious science of academic grade biology.

  • Ep.9 ‘Feminist’ Bacteria
    Oct 19 2020

    Often times I sit back and reflect on the late-stage capitalist world we are living in. The environment! The child labour! The lack of free handouts for lazy podcasters! In this episode, I am joined by Professor Adam Chippendale to talk about some surprising subjects of eons of persecution: Mitochondria, as well as their radically feminist “kill-all-men” cousins, the bacteria Wolbachia. Disclaimer! We at Biology Baubles (by ‘we’ I mean Thor, Thor writes this and does everything), as well as our guests fully understand that feminism is a movement about equality, not creating a utopian world of ecologically woke Amazon warriors- as nice as that would be.

  • Ep.8 A Crash Course in Environmental Racism
    Jul 12 2020

    Since the George Floyd protests and the movement for self-education, many horrific aspects of society were revealed to those willing to look. Today, Thor van Walsum is joined by Roshni Desai to talk about the fundamentals of one of the less visible forms taken by society’s deep set discrimination- environmental racism and environmental racialization.

  • Ep.7 Turnt Goldfish
    Mar 15 2020

    Life. Air. Breath. Oxygen. They seem to go hand in hand- as, indeed, we have assumed for millenia- but, as we all know, don’t. Why is that, and what adaptations do the creatures that creep the earth have to accommodate anoxic life? The answer will take your breath away. Truck yeah.
