That "The Resistance of a Cow" #RadioLab episode is pretty disappointing. They didn't even bring up that Denmark uses a TT grounding scheme (totally different from North America), and the nutrient deficiency hypothesis *from a vet* is given about 10 secs.

I am sometimes a harsh critic of Wayne Hsiung, but anybody who enjoys podcasts should give a listen to the current episode of #Radiolab

Interesting #Radiolab on #electricity + cattle, a follow up on a #Zetland piece.
I remain a bit sceptical about the idea of stray voltage affecting cows. It seems very implausible and there are surely other factors to consider. But a quick web search gives lots of hits.
It may be a thing and it may also be a case of mass hysteria among farmers (the mobile phone towers and cancer scare also sprang to mind). And it might be a third effect. Or all three?
But I think it's going to be something we hear more of as the #GreenTransition gets going...

The Nizhny Novgorod Radio Laboratory (NNRL).
Imagine it is June 1918. The young Soviet Republic, surrounded by enemies on all sides and struggling to find food for its cities, establishes a radio laboratory at the Tver radio station. The development of technology was necessary from both an economic and a political point of view.
But a small workshop with outdated equipment did not allow them to work at the required level. Therefore, it was decided to move the laboratory to Nizhny Novgorod.
The scientists at the radio laboratory worked on establishing vacuum tube production and developing radiotelephony.
Today, a museum dedicated to the history of the NNRL operates here. The museum’s exhibition contains many original devices and samples of radio equipment.
For me, this museum is a place where I feel inspired by human genius. I look at these tube assemblies, at the microchips, and remember the saying: “If aviation had developed at the same pace, today an airplane would be the size of a matchbox and could fly around the globe in one hour.”

Recent newsletter from @gordon mentioned the famous generative music thing 'In C', which in turn reminded me about one of my favourite #Radiolab episodes: https://radiolab.org/podcast/91934-in-c
(Includes the host Jad's delightful interpretation, and the intimidatingly talented Zoe Keating's version too.)

Radiolab’s Moon Trees episode is a fascinating look at a little‑known chapter of Apollo history. Hundreds of seeds went to the moon and later grew into trees across the US, many forgotten until recently. A reminder of how easily pieces of space history slip into obscurity. #MoonTrees #Space #NASA #Radiolab #ScienceHistory #PodcastRecommendation

TikTok’s rise reshaped content moderation: not “take down harm” but “push up bland.” Facebook & X followed, trading free speech for algorithmic control. Moderation is now a power tool—not a safety net. Feeds aren’t public squares—they’re curated broadcasts. #ContentWarning #SocialMedia #FreeSpeech #TikTok #Radiolab #KateKlonick

Minner meg om den _fantastiske_ #Radiolab-episoden «Dakou», som omhandlar dei kasserte og dels øydelagde kassettane som blei sendt frå Europa og Kina som råmateriale til gjenvinning, men i staden solgt på svart og gråmarknaden som ufullstendige musikkalbum: https://radiolab.org/podcast/mixtape-dakou #PodcastTips

Today I learned that people with uteruses are not the only people capable of growing a placenta. Everyone can do it!
More specifically, everyone has *already* done it. The placenta, as it turns out, is grown by the fetus, not the mother, starting just a few days into pregnancy. (Source: RadioLab). I think that’s a fun fact.
Now that I know this fun fact, I find myself wondering if I could perform this feat again. Spending the next few years in a comfortable hugging sack that provides all the support, warmth, and nutrition I need sounds like a really good option nowadays.

Sometimes, while listening to an episode of @radiolab, I go like "oh, fsck". This is one of those episodes.
An atheist bone marrow donor ends up being matched to, let me put it mildly, a christian evangelist. She saved his life. Lots of hard work by lots and lots of people saved his life. A series of random events on both sides of the story saved his life. What does the guy do? Exactly what you are thinking.
Radiolab does a good job representing the tension that raises from the situation.
It's well worth a listen.

Radiolab’s Latif Nasser got a quasi-moon officially named ‘Zoozve’ following a typo mistake on his child’s solar system poster. An epic story. #Zoozve #2002Ve #Venus #SolarSystem #Space #Radiolab #LatifNasser #Mastodaoine

I'm not a regular listener of the Radiolab podcast but I happened to hear this episode, Zoozve, and loved it.
A solar system mystery! Quasi-moons! Weird orbits! It was a lot of fun 😁

A great science mystery with a cliffhanger ending!
"As co-host Latif Nasser was putting his kid to bed one night, he noticed something weird on a solar system poster up on the wall: Venus had a moon called … Zoozve. But when he called NASA to ask them about it, they had never heard of Zoozve" -

Anyone else get stuck in a loop? Groundhog Day but only like 15 minutes? I've been thinking. What makes that even possible? Does it tell us anything about the human brain?

The fine folks at #RadioLab introduced me to #alieward's Ologies podcast today and my life is forever changed for the better. Strong recommend for the dark matter episode, but apparently all the rest of them too? I am never going to get caught up. https://www.alieward.com/ologies/

Hey #mastodon, what are some awesome spectator #sports that people aren't aware off but should totally be watching?
I just listened to to this awesome #podcast by #radiolab on games/sports and feeling like expanding my sports following beyond #marbleRacing.
