Have you ever donated clothes into one of those big drop off containers? Do you know if those clothes were ever sent to a family who needed them? In this episode we talk about some of the myths and misconceptions about fast fashion, donating clothes, and how to improve your carbon footprint while still slaying. By the way, we're not suggesting to stop donating clothes - just choose where you donate more carefully so the clothes don't end up in an incinerator!

You get bit by a snake, your first reaction is: try and suck the venom out? Catch the snake that bit you? Run around panicking that you just got bit? If you answered yes or any of these then you congratulations, you don't know how to treat a snake bite! But don't worry, we explain what the experts suggest you do. We also cover popular myths and misconceptions about peeing on a jellyfish sting and Lauren tells a tale about how a tiny bee sting almost lead to her needing surgery.

Buying food can be really stressful and difficult. Making sure you're getting enough fruits and vegetables is tiring. At least for me it is. Plus, there's soo many myths and misconceptions surrounding food that we just HAD to bring back our favorite certified dietitian and personal trainer, Amanda Hookom, RDT, CPT. We talk about GMOs, pesticides in organic foods, the often cited "dirty dozen" and more! And don't forget to check out her website and amazing Twitch stream with the links below!

The wellness industry makes more money than the pharmaceutical industry. Don't believe me? I didn't believe myself until we spoke with Dr. Bernie Garrett who has a new book The New Alchemists, available on July 29. With a PhD in Information Science and over 35 years clinical experience as a nurse, Dr. Garrett gives us some inside information about the often misleading wellness industry.

Just Na Science - Is Bigfoot Real? Science Might Have an Answer
play

02/02/21 • 25 min

There have been over 5,000 Bigfoot sightings in the US. With so many people claiming to have seen it (or one of the many supposed Bigfoots), it's certainly worth looking into. But what does science say about Bigfoot and the now extinct Gigantopithecus genus of apes? Is it possible the two are connected? We also discuss some of the claims made on the Nat Geo show, "Chasing Bigfoot".

We wouldn’t be a very good educational podcast if we never talked about education. Our guest Tim Tanner, a science teacher in Mississippi, talks to us about some of the challenges about teaching science in the Bible Belt and some ways he fosters student curiosity. On the side Tim is involved in local film production and wants everyone to check out an upcoming film called Texas Red that is set to air on Video on Demand or Amazon Prime. You can check out the IMdB page to get some details before it’s 2021 release!

A research paper published yesterday (14Sep2020) claims phosphine gas is present in the clouds of Venus. Here on Earth the only sources of phosphine gas are microbes, geochemistry, and manufacturing. To our knowledge there is nothing in the clouds or atmosphere that would cause production of phosphine gas leaving biological production a real possibility. But if there is alien life, would it look like us? Lauren and I discuss how natural selection and evolution may be different in aliens than humans. We also talk about abductions, Lauren's personal alien story, and more!
