  • STEM-Talk

    Admittedly, I’ve been watching intermittently but each episode I watch provides a new avenue which my PI, to his dismay, has here outlandish ideas.

    Despite studying physiology, I think each niche of science is equally as captivating and provides perspectives to be knitted together. Whether it’s unique or bizarre.

    The most recent talk, though ultimately opposing many of the current views in environmental discussion, it provides an excellent challenge for research to search for new avenues to i... more

    Used to be great, now it’s just a platform for Ken to bang on about the evils of carbs and deny the damage caused by climate change.

  • Done after Curry episode.

    Didn’t find this the most entertaining science podcast but I’m done after giving the multimillionaire mouthpiece Judith Curry a platform without any real pushback. I listened all the way. She had the gall to call another out for cherry-picking. But to throw in that installing solar panels contributed to the Hawaii fire because they weren’t there to cut grass, is cash check from the fossil fuel industry. There are none of those on the island so make it not make sense.

  • The Science Podcast to Rule All Others

    STEM-Talk are indepth interviews with really interesting scientists and engineers working right at the front edge.

    These episodes are in-depth discussions with really fascinating scientists and engineers. The health related episodes are particularly interesting as the hosts and the guests go pretty far down some deep rabbit holes. Also, I love the episodes about space exploration. AMA episodes are also wonderful. Thanks!

A common misconception is about the bi-phasic dose response, where low and high doses of Methylene Blue have opposite effects.
Episode 191: Francisco Gonzalez-Lima discusses methylene blue & noninvasive human brain stimulation
Q: What seems to be the range, you know, the range of a relatively or very safe dose in a human?
The safe range tested is generally lower than five milligrams per kilogram of body weight for acute use and much lower for chronic use, usually around 0.5 to 1 milligram per kilogram.
Episode 191: Francisco Gonzalez-Lima discusses methylene blue & noninvasive human brain stimulation
Q: How do you respond to the question whether methylene blue in low doses affects microbiota?
The animal studies conducted found that none of the doses affected the microbiota, and low doses actually improved memory performance.
Episode 191: Francisco Gonzalez-Lima discusses methylene blue & noninvasive human brain stimulation
Q: Can you tell us about this fledgling collaboration?
Francisco discusses a new collaboration with his sister, a PhD in computational and applied mathematics, to classify high and low responders in their transcranial stimulation studies.
