The Reading Brain with Maryanne Wolf (BS 145)
Dr Maryanne Wolf (click to play audio)
In her recent book Tales of Literacy for the 21st Century, Dr. Maryanne Wolf revisits some of the key ideas of her wonderful first book Proust and the Squid: The Story and Science of the Reading Brain. Since Dr. Wolf was one of my earliest guests back in BSP 29, I was eager to talk with her again. In BS 145 we touch on several key ideas. First, she emphasized again that reading is very different from language. All normal humans learn their first language, almost automatically as long as they are exposed to language during the critical period early in ...

Selenium for preventing cancer
More than half a dozen Cochrane Reviews have been done in various areas of health, to examine the evidence on the potential benefits of Selenium, a naturally occurring element with both nutritional and toxicological properties. The review looking at its possible role in the prevention of cancer was updated in January 2018 and one of the authors, Maree Brinkman from the Nutrition Biomed Research Institute in Melbourne in Australia. gives us the latest findings in this podcast.

Aromatherapy for treating postoperative nausea and vomiting
Many people vomit or feel nauseous after surgery, and it ’s important to find effective ways to ease these unpleasant symptoms. One of the updated Cochrane Reviews in March 2018 looks at the effect of aromatherapy and we asked Sonia Hines from the Queensland Centre for Evidence‐Based Nursing& Midwifery in Australia to tell us more about the latest results.

Sketching suspects with DNA, and using light to find Zika-infected mosquitoes
DNA fingerprinting has been used to link people to crimes for decades, by matching DNA from a crime scene to DNA extracted from a suspect. Now, investigators are using other parts of the genome —such as markers for hair and eye color—to help rule people in and out as suspects. Staff Writer Gretchen Vogel talks with Sarah Crespi about whether science supports this approach and how different countries are dealing with this new type of evidence.
Sarah also talks with Jill Fernandes of th e University of Queensland in Brisbane, Australia, about her Science Advances paper on a light-based technique for detecting Zika in mo...

Language in the Brain (BS 144) with Angela Friederici
Angela Friederici (click image to play audio)
Angela Friederici’s new book Language in Our Brain: The Origins of a Uniquely Human Capacity captures decades of research. Although the book is quite technical, our recent conversation (BS 144) provides an excellent overview to listeners of all backgrounds. Our earliest knowledge was acquired from patients with brain lesions, but newer tools allow researchers to correlate concepts from Linguistics, such as phonology, syntax and semantics, with the neuroscientific tools such as EEG and imaging.EEG evidence shows that phonology (sound) and synt...

Michael Graziano explains Peripersonal Neurons (BS 142)
Michael Graziano (Click image to play audio)
As a young student Dr. Michael Graziano helped discover peripersonal neurons, which are neurons that detect when objects are coming near our bodies. In his new book The Spaces Between Us: A Story of Neuroscience, Evolution, and Human Nature, Graziano takes us through two decades of research into how these neurons work. Peripersonal neurons make it possible for us to move through our lives without constantly bumping into the objects and people around us, but because they work outside our conscious awareness we take them for granted. Graziano &nbs...

Calcineurin inhibitor withdrawal or tapering for kidney transplant recipients
When a patient receives a kidney transplant, there is a possibility that their body will reject this new organ and a variety of treatments are used to try to prevent this. However, these treatments can cause their own unwanted side effects. In a new Cochrane Review in July 2017, Krishna Karpe and colleagues from Canberra Hospital in Australia looked at the evidence for alleviating this for the group of drugs known as Calcineurin inhibitors. Here ’s Krishna to tell us what they found. (Source: Podcasts from The Cochrane Library)
