Mosquitoes are often seen as nothing more than a nuisance — but do they actually have a purpose? In this conversation with Cassandra, we explore their role in ecosystems, from pollination to their place in the food chain
How can microbes be used to produce human proteins? In this clip, Joni Symon explains precision fermentation — a process where a human gene is introduced into microbes, allowing them to produce proteins efficiently due t
How does an embryo actually attach during pregnancy? In this short clip, Dr. Deepak Modi explains the fascinating “cross-talk” between the embryo and the endometrium — the lining of the uterus that is only one cell thick
We often grow up hearing science “rules” and simple explanations — like the famous five-second food rule or the idea that DNA is the main character running everything inside our cells. But science is rarely that simple.
What really goes into your favorite lipstick, nail polish, or skincare routine? 🧪 In this episode, I sit down with Roselin Rosario — a chemist turned entrepreneur, inventor, and patent holder — who takes us behind the s
We’ve all done it: dropped food on the floor and thought, “If I grab it fast, it’s fine.” But what does science say? 🦠 In this teaser, we put the 5-second rule under the microscope and reveal the truth about germs, food
