011 - Chien-Shiung Wu and Quantum Theory: Physics for Dummies
Explicit content warning
11/02/22 • 60 min
In this week's episode Austin and Ulysses discuss the ICONIQUE SCIENTIST Chien-Shiung Wu and how she contributed to the manhattan project and our current knowledge of quantum physics. For the DEFENCE, we chat about the recent nobel peace prize in physics - including how our brains cease to exist now. We round out the episode with SCIENTIFIC NOMENCLATURE by postulating some physics based drag names and QUEER RANTING about music. No queery this week because nobody submitted any - again :(

We want to acknowledge that we are researching, recording, and editing this podcast on the traditional territories of the people of the Treaty 7 region in Southern Alberta, which includes the Blackfoot Confederacy (comprising the Siksika, Piikani, and Kainai First Nations), as well as the Tsuut’ina First Nation, and the Stoney Nakoda (including the Chiniki, Bearspaw, and Wesley First Nations). The city of Calgary is also home to Métis Nation of Alberta, Region 3.
As biologists, we rely on knowledge pertaining to the land to understand energy flow - Indigenous folks have realized this long before modern biology. It is therefore critical to acknowledge the traditional knowledge, methods, and caretaking of Indigenous peoples towards the land. We encourage the support and exchange of resources designed to help reduce systemic inequities in academia and society in general. This week we wanted to highlight the LGBT purge Fund - which is an organization that helps ensure queer folks traumatized by army experiences can get the help they need.
