Lost in Science

Every Thurs 8:30am - 9:00am Chris Lassig, Stuart Burns and Claire Farrugia are on @3CR, chatting about a wide range of science and technology news. Lost in Science is distributed nationally on the Community Radio Network too! 🧪📻▶️ 3cr.org.au/lostinscience

In our latest episode, we speak to climatologist @MichaelEMann about THAT hockey stick graph of historic temperatures, and how not to give in to doom in the face of climate change @3CR @thinkincAU 3cr.org.au/lostinscience/…

POV: you're going on a nature walk finding out why it can reduce the stress of city life & hearing from special guest immunologist and science communicator Catriona Nguyen-Robertson about her PhD research on the immune system's T cells. 3cr.org.au/lostinscience/…

We were talking about #DARTs before it was cool: 3cr.org.au/lostinscience/…

Did you miss the gang talking about the 32nd First Annual #IgNobelPrize? Find out how researchers use ice cream to save the day (again) and why having your ducks in a row is scientifically a good thing. 3cr.org.au/lostinscience/…

Also not to be missed, Chris talking about reverse or anti lasers which absorb light rather than emit it, and for that to make that sense he tries to explain how regular lasers work too. Listen: 3cr.org.au/lostinscience/…

Stu always buys his weapons from a guy called T-Rex. He's a small arms dealer🦖 Find out more about new research that may explain why the most famous dinosaur, the T. rex, evolved such big heads, and maybe why they had tiny arms: 3cr.org.au/lostinscience/…

Our favourite thing about science is that it feels like science. 🧪

Also this week, Stu has some uncomfy facts for dark corners of the internet as he explains how the concept of #alphamales does not in fact correspond to how wolf packs operate in the wild. Listen: 3cr.org.au/lostinscience/…

Don't miss @cfarandwide's conversationwith @DrCathiePage from the Australian Institute of Marine Science on @3CR's Lost in Science! They have an in-depth (get it?) chat about about getting coral to spawn out of season in the laboratory. 3cr.org.au/lostinscience/…

Space junk and big bacteria! 👾Chris revisits the world of space junk 🧫Stu talks about a giant bacteria that you can see with the naked eye. Listen: 3cr.org.au/lostinscience/…

Congrats on the win! It was a tight race😃 Thanks to everyone who came along.

This week on Lost in Science! 🐶Claire talks about new research that links hearing with the evolution of warm blooded animals. 🕵️‍♀️Chris fills us in on a possible case of academic misconduct linked to #AlzheimersResearch. ▶️🧪📻3cr.org.au/lostinscience/…

@CatrionaNR @scidocmartin @scienceworks_mv @3CR @Aus_ScienceWeek Tie breakerS – it was nail biting! A worthy victory for the @scienceworks_mv team

@scidocmartin @scienceworks_mv @LostinScience1 @3CR @Aus_ScienceWeek We only juuuust won with a tie breaker.

Team @scienceworks_mv won the @LostinScience1 @3CR #ScienceWeek trivia. We were trained for this! I was happy to finally put my writing of #WeirdFactWednesday to good use. What a delightful crew to hang out with to celebrate @Aus_ScienceWeek!

🎙 This episode: 3cr.org.au/lostinscience/… 🐝Claire talks to Dr. Jay Iwasaki about the invasive pest of honey bees the Varroa mite which was discovered in hives around Newcastle in NSW for the first time.

🎙 This episode: 3cr.org.au/lostinscience/… 🔭 Chris talks about some of the discoveries the new JW space telescope has possibly discovered since booting up in the last few weeks 🐭 Stu looks at a new technique for bringing dead skins back to life.

3 scientists walk into a bar... and start asking you about obscure sci-fi and science news stories! You're at Lost in Science trivia, back from a long hiatus for this year's @Aus_ScienceWeek, and @3CR. Add it to your calendar: fb.me/e/2sSMV7ARu

ICYMI: Claire tells us about the challenges associated with recycling cotton and polyester, and Stu runs us through recent research showing much more common variations in human sex chromosomes beyond the XX and XY you might have learned at school. 3cr.org.au/lostinscience/…

ICYMI: Chris dives into the recent research about Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, or #SIDS, bringing us closer to understanding a biological cause. Also - did you know it's #InternationalYearofGlass? Stu discusses why it's important. 3cr.org.au/lostinscience/…

I made a video! For the latest episode of @LostinScience1, with the physics of how ropes and yarn hold together, while Stu talks to @ChristianRinke about plastic-eating superworms. What?!?
