Coronapod: COVID death toll is likely millions more than official counts
As of January 2022, the WHO reports that 5.5 million people have lost their lives to the pandemic. However, many research groups suggests that this number is likely to be a significant underestimate, although it is hard to be certain as counting mortality across the world is an exceptionally difficult task. In this episode of Coronapod we ask why, and delve into the range of approaches scientists are taking to try to get to the bottom of the sticky problem - from excess death counts, to machine learning and even satellite imagery.News Feature: The pandemic’s true death toll: millions more than official cou...

David Badre explores Cognitive Control (BS 190)
David Badre (click to play, right click to download mp3)
This month's episode of Brain Science features David Badre, author of On Task: How Our Brain Gets Things Done. He gives us an overview of recent research in the field of cognitive control, which has has actually overturned some popular assumptions about things like willpower. Our focus is on the practical implications of this research with an extra emphasis on the role of learning. Cognitive control is a learned skill, which is why Dr. Badre emphasized that children need a chance to develop this skill through experience. It is crit...

Antonio Damasio on "Feeing & Knowing" (BS 189)
Neurologist and best-selling author Antonio Damasio is one of our most requested guests. This month we finally had the opportunity to talk about his newest book Feeling & Knowing: Making Minds Conscious, which he explained is somewhat different from his previous efforts. His goal was to write something "briefer" and more accessible. Thus it is definitely a book that requires no background in neuroscience.The key theme is that feelings and emotions are foundational aspects of Consciousness.

Whole-genome screening for newborns, and the importance of active learning for STEM
Today, most newborns get some biochemical screens of their blood, but whole-genome sequencing is a much more comprehensive look at an infant —maybe too comprehensive? Staff Writer Jocelyn Kaiser joins host Sarah Crespi to discuss the ethical ins and outs of whole-genome screening for newborns, and the kinds of infrastructure needed to use these screens more widely. Sarah also talks with three contributors to a series of vignettes on th e importance of active learning for students in science, technology, engineering, and math.

Anil Seth explores Consciousness (BS 188)
Anil Seth (click to play, R click to download mp3)
In his thought-provoking new book Being You: A New Science of Consciousness, neuroscientist Anil Seth provides both an accessible discussion of the neuroscience of consciousness and a compelling overview of his approach to what he calls “the real problem” of consciousness. His approach focuses on trying to understand the experience of consciousness by looking at levels, content, and self. He has been inspired by the work of many other scientists including the contemporary focus on prediction. Starting from the well-established, thoug...
