Ireland's Forgotten Pandemic w/ Dr Fiona Gallagher
Living Room Logic – Irish Science Podcast
07/18/21 • 42 min
In this weeks episode, Andrew interviews Dr Fiona Gallagher about the last pandemic which ravaged Ireland. How the country responded, the formation of the Irish medical board (an ancient NPHET) and how they managed the spread of Cholera when they didn't even know what a bacteria was in 1832. Closing ports for safety and then opening them up again for business sounds familiar right? Dr Gallagher is an incredible speaker and has a wealth of knowledge, enjoy!

Spread the Good: No news is good news 24/05
Living Room Logic – Irish Science Podcast
05/23/21 • 7 min
Andrew spends the vast 7 minutes of this episode of spread the good going through the news of the week. In a fantastic turn of events, there is little to talk about. We did around 300'000 vaccinations last week, 45% of adults have their first dose and and the hospitalization situation is stable. Oh, and the Indian variant isn't the end of the world either - just need everyone to get both doses and be grand. Sure look, no news is good news and I am delighted to have nothing to say! Next week is the finale of spread the good whilst we prepare to get back to normalcy ourselves with the release of season 2 in July!

Living Room Logic – Irish Science Podcast
05/16/21 • 16 min
This week Andrew talks through the latest stats for Ireland on COVID-19. He also dives into the complexity of antigen testing. Their use, why LIDL and Tony Hoolahan are butting heads, where Dr Ronan Glynn stands on it and what does antigen test results actually tell you? It is certainly a complex issue with nobody fully right or wrong but it helps to stay informed.

The Mind of the Machine
Living Room Logic – Irish Science Podcast
03/22/21 • 58 min
The U.S.A. used A.I. supercomputers to win one of the final cold war battlefields: Chess. This episode, Andrew and Aidan discuss the history of intelligence, why our global perception of it changed over time, and how we now find ourselves losing to machines. Did you know that China uses artificial intelligence to monitor and rate its citizens? Or that it might be quite stupid to model super-intelligent A.I. beings using humans as a blueprint?

How Poo Made Old Mice Young w/ Dr Katie Guzzetta
Living Room Logic – Irish Science Podcast
03/21/22 • 29 min
Season finale warning that will blow your butt off,but.. we might have just the treatment in mind. This week we interviewed the brilliant Dr Katie Guzzetta, former UCC PhD student and current Harvard visiting research fellow. One big paper from her PhD was published in one of the biggest journals in the world where she found that giving old mice a 'fecal implant' from younger mice rejuvenated them! What!!! We go through the study, talked about how the hell this even works, what this means for the future of aging and answer the question if you should be freezing your poo for future you!
Thank you everyone for supporting the podcast - we just passed 10'000 listens and we are so proud of how the project has done and we are so grateful to each of you! See you soon :)
