Just Na Science
10/13/20 • 26 min
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.

Is Bigfoot Real? Science Might Have an Answer
Just Na Science
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".

Men and Women Have Different Brains. But Does it Matter?
Just Na Science
12/15/20 • 24 min
Have you heard that men are more rational and women are more emotional? Maybe that men have better visuospatial skills than women? There are a lot of ideas and misconceptions about how the brains of men and women differ. But is there any truth behind it? In this podcast episode, we discuss the myths and misconceptions about neurological brain differences between genders and how they may or may not influence behavior. Also, I'm pretty sure we don't curse in this episode, but I marked it explicit because I don't remember.

Life on Venus is a Real Possibility, New Discovery Suggests
Just Na Science
09/15/20 • 28 min
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!

Are We Living in a Computer Simulation? We Aren't Sure
Just Na Science
06/10/20 • 24 min
You've seen the Matrix. You've seen posts on social media about "glitches in the matrix". You may have even experienced one for yourself! But is there any truth to this? Well, honestly we have no idea. It's sort of impossible to figure out but we can still have fun talking about it! We also talk about robots and research about our brains controlling stuff just by thinking about it.
