#2: Tubey and/or Goopy
Science Telephone
04/29/20 • 41 min
Marine biologist and conservationist Julie Dimitrijevic has spent a fair share of her time studying microplastics in bivalves - specifically the Blue Mussel. On this episode, she's kind enough to share her research with Christine Bortolin, Tim Carlson, and Ryan Beil, who seem a little overly focused on pseudo-feces.

#6 - Falling In Love... with the Flub!
Science Telephone
12/11/20 • 51 min
The gang lowkey ruins the research of guest microbiologist Morgan Alford, as Abdul Aziz (back and still angry at Alistair from last week), Kelli Ogmundson (in a top secret upcoming Canadian TV project), and Aaron Read (trying to find the answer to 'art') take us on a journey to a not-so-distant future where we will be forcing people to live underwater.

#7 - Pure Trash, Round and Round
Science Telephone
01/11/21 • 53 min
The gang interrupts the important work of sustainable plastics researcher Dr. Love-Ese Chile, who probably should've told her lab-mates that she was taping a podcast that day. Dialing into this episode, we have the brilliant comedic stylings of Tim Carlson, Rae Lynn Carson, and Peter Carlone, who are hell-bent on classifying plastic based on its smell, altitude, and level of mysteriousness.

#8 - If Something is Dangling, It Doesn’t Sound Great
Science Telephone
02/16/21 • 55 min
Great science comes in teeny tinsy teeny packages, as the gang discovers when Dr. Roshan Achal does his level best to explain atomic-scale manufacturing. Helping him assemble big ideas atom-by-atom, we have Ronald Dario, Allie Entwistle, and Mark Chavez on the line. Let's get small.

#9 - I Should Mention That the Fish Are Screaming
Science Telephone
04/09/21 • 55 min
The gang takes a deep dive into everyone's favourite part of the fish: the eyeballs. Guest scientist Tareq Yousef illuminates how we see light and dark for comedians Alistair Ogden, Alannah Brittany, and Ryan Beil. We also consider calling the ethics committee on Ryan, who is maybe torturing French Salmon.

#10 - Tuxedo Cats vs. Sweatpants Cats
Science Telephone
07/14/21 • 49 min
The gang busts out their best equations for Mathematical Biologist Dr. Kit Yates, who takes comedians Sophie Buddle (This Hour Has 22 Minutes), Nima Gholamipour (The Slowest Show), and Adam DiMarco (The Magicians, The Order) on a journey into why Tuxedo Cats are so freakin' well dressed.
Dr. Kit Yates is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Mathematical Sciences and co-director of the Centre for Mathematical Biology at the University of Bath. His latest book, The Math of Life and Death: 7 Mathematical Principles That Shape Our Lives, is an equation-free look at how mathematics governs every aspect of the world around us.

#3 - But Your Parents... Argon.
Science Telephone
06/19/20 • 45 min
Physicist Pietro Giampa is on the hunt for Dark Matter, deep down in an Ontario mine. This week, he gives the lowdown on Dark Matter to Rae Lynn Carson, Kevin Lee, and Alistair Ogden, any of whom may be that person blowing huge bubbles down at Granville Island...
It's been a while since the last episode, because we wanted to give some space to more important things happening on the internet in the last few weeks in the wake of George Floyd's murder. We produce this podcast here in Vancouver BC, so we'd love you to consider donating to Hogan's Alley Society - A fantastic non-profit that advocates for Black Vancouverites who have endured the legacies of urban renewal and their erasure from the official historical narrative.
We're also looking for BIPOC to be on the podcast! If you're a Black scientist or comedian, give us a shout on Twitter - we'd love to get in touch.
