The War and Treaty’s Michael and Tanya Trotter grew up in Cleveland, Ohio, and Washington, DC, respectively, but both have family roots in the South. They also grew up in the musical traditions of their churches – Tanya in the Black Baptist Church and Michael in the Seventh Day Adventist Church – where they learned the power of song to move people. After becoming a father at a very young age, Michael eventually joined the armed forces and served in Iraq and Germany, where he took up songwriting as a way of dealing with his experiences there. Meanwhile Tanya embarked on a singing and acting career after a breakthrough appearance in Sister Act 2 alongside Whoopi Goldberg and Lauryn Hill. Now, after a long and sometimes traumatic journey, Michael and Tanya are married, touring, winning all sorts of awards, and set to release their fifth album together, and their fourth as The War and Treaty. Sid talks to Michael and Tanya about the new record, Plus One , as well as their collaboration with Miranda Lambert, what it was like to record at FAME studios in Muscle Shoals, and how they’re blending country, soul, gospel, and R&B.

Field work vs Lab work in Biology: COVID vaccines, John Snow, and TurtleSpot 11:42

4 years тому11:42

11:42

When people think of biology or science in general, the first thing that comes to mind is lab work: researching microorganisms, chemistry, lab procedures... and all the jazz. What they may not know is the significance of field work in science. In this episode, we take a look at John Snow's tracing of the cholera outbreak and China's vaccine controversy in Bahrain to see just how important field work really is. Then, armed with my experience in both the field and the lab, I break down the strengths and weaknesses of each. Strap on, my friends!

I started off 2021 by visiting Xiaoliuqiu Island in Southern Taiwan, where sea turtles are notably abundant. But I hope to go a little deeper than that. Why are there so many sea turtles? Are they in any danger? And what is it like swimming with them? With help from the locals and some research, I strive to find a comprehensive understanding of this unique island.

What are the different ways cells can communicate with one another? How do hormones know which cells to target? And why are GPCRs so ubiquitous in humans? This episode dives deep into the components of signal transduction, transmembrane and intracellular receptors, second messengers, and regulation of signaling. Cell signaling is probably the most important topic in biology, so make sure you know this section fluently by listening to this episode! The Campbell Biology Textbook (11th Edition) is referenced and advised for listeners. Powered by Firstory Hosting…
