About this listen

The world of academia is a complex one that is sometimes filled with intrigue and politics. But there are also academic papers with titles such as “Fantastic yeasts and where to find them” and “miR miR on the wall, who’s the most malignant medulloblastoma miR of them all?”. Some research studies from the field of psychology were quite controversial such as determining whether fear could be conditioned with the experiment done using an orphaned baby and a white rat.

This podcast is a ACW 181 project.
