You know we had to bring some R&B into the mix this Valentine's Day!
Rexxy Pendergrass and I decided to lay down some vocals in honor of the hormone, oxytocin. So lovely, don't you agree.
Here's to more #neuroscience research on the role of this cool neuropeptide.

Happy Holidays, fellow listeners! Lauren Girouard-Hallam joins me on the show as we discuss Santa's powers based on the holiday hit famously recorded by Gene Autry "Up on the Housetop" in the scope of psychology of children's belief in them. And of course, we have some fun as we tease out what kind of scientist(s) would Santa Claus would be! More information about Lauren below.
Lauren Girouard-Hallam, MA, MS, (she/her) is a fourth year doctoral candidate at the University of Louisville in Kentucky. She earned her Bachelor of Science in Neuroscience and her Bachelor of Arts in Theatre from Furman University in 2017 and then moved to New York City to pursue her Master of Arts in Drama Therapy, an arts-based applied counseling degree, which she earned from NYU in 2019. She also earned a Master of Science in Experimental Psychology from U of L in 2021. Her current research investigates how 3-12 year old children think about and learn from novel technologies from Siri and Alexa to search engines and the internet at large. Lauren can also be found teaching labs for graduate level statistics courses, serving as chair for the American Psychological Association’s Science Student Council, and co-running Louisville Kentucky’s chapter of R-Ladies, a community initiative designed to bring coding skill-building opportunities to gender minority individuals inside and outside of the academy.

Sumeet Kulkarni is a 6th-yr. PhD student studying gravitational waves at the University of Mississippi. Sumeet uses really smart code written by others to evolve binary black holes forward and backward in time, and apply it to whole populations of black holes to figure out if we can detect signatures of them precessing like a spinning top. He is also involved with education and outreach efforts with the LIGO collaboration, primarily to develop web apps that can use gravitational-wave research to teach simple physics concepts. He has written for Astrobites in the past couple of years, and recently completed the AAAS mass media fellowship with the LA Times.
Huei Sears is a fifth-year physics PhD candidate at Northwestern University. She studies the properties of long-duration gamma-ray burst host-galaxies at high-redshift -- i.e. the oldest galaxies that host the brightest and most energetic explosions in our Universe. Huei also is an active member of the Astrobites collaboration where she serves on the Administrative, DEI, and Hiring committees in-addition to co-managing their social media accounts. A fun fact about Huei is that she is a massive Taylor Swift fan and loves to sing.

It's the most wonderful time of the school year! First day/week back to school! So of course we do an episode focused on going to bed on time and its importance! I'm hanging out with Jazmine Benjamin as we discuss grad student life this past summer as it comes to an end and dive into the Kid Cudi classic " Day 'N' Nite" as we learn about circadian misalignment. Maybe we won't "toss and turn" after this. For more information about Jazmine Benjamin, read below.
Jazmine I. Benjamin is a Biomedical Sciences Ph.D. candidate in the Division of Nephrology at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) in Birmingham, Alabama. Her research is focused on the relationship between circadian misalignment and risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Her ultimate career goal is a position that allows her to utilize her technical knowledge and penchant for advocacy in order to benefit under-served communities.Jazmine recently finished her second term as the President of the graduate student body at UAB. She was also a committee member on a variety of task forces dedicated to keeping the population at UAB safe and operational during the COVID-19 outbreak. In 2019, Jazmine co-founded the Science Policy and Advocacy Initiative, the first comprehensive science policy group in the state of Alabama. In addition to her work on campus, Jazmine is also a graduate fellow for the Alabama chapter of the Scholars Strategy Network and a member of the National Science Policy Network.
Outside of the lab, Jazmine loves to cook, read, run, listen to music and podcasts, and play video games. She also has an adopted sprollie (spaniel/border collie mix) named Cersei who keeps her laughing and active. Jazmine is a staunch advocate for representation in STEM and often uses her platform to share her experiences and mentor younger students and graduate student colleagues.

We Outsiiiiiiiiide! For this month's episode, I am taking a different approach. 4 short stories. 4 fun facts. And they all revolve around my memories of summer. We first wake up "Early in the Morning" and learn about circadian rhythms. We then go grab some "Hot Cheetos" and understand why it is so spicy "insert tiktok". Can't forget about "Sweet Love" with your crush as we take some tips from our avian friends. And lastly, we "Bounce, Rock, Skate, Roll" out to the funny story about the invention of the rollerskates.
Songs Discussed
1) "Early in the Morning" by The Gap Band
2) "Hot Cheetos" by Momo Neon
3) "Sweet Love" by Anita Baker

Hey. How are you? How's your mental health? Yes, really.
In this month's episode, I invited my mental health neighbor and forever dance partner in science, Krystle Osby. We talk about our mental health journeys so far as it pertains to our graduate school career. So for you academics out there, maybe there is something that we say that you relate to. I then introduce her Johnny Mathis' "When Sunny Gives Blue" as we discuss how doctors would identify and diagnose depression in the 1950s and onward as protocols were updated. More info on Krystle below
Krystle Osby is a PhD graduate student studying mutations in endometrial cancer at Huntsman Cancer Institute and University of Utah. She has a B.S. in Biotechnology from Cal State San Marcos, and experience working as a biochemist post-bacc. She is passionate about science communication and increasing patient access to knowledge and health resources, with an emphasis on historically minoritized and at-risk communities.

Happy Women's History Month from Scientifically Sound! It's a celebration on this side as we channel our inner Chaka Khan with her 1978 hit single "I'm Every Woman", in honor of the #IfThenSheCan exhibit. This exhibit highlights 120 women in STEM from all kinds of careers with 3D life-size statues! It is currently wrapping up its time at the Smithsonian, so I thought it would be cool to get a thought (or two) on the exhibit from two outstanding women who are IF/THEN ambassadors. Dr. Jaye Gardiner and Dr. Danielle Twum! We laugh, we learn, and most of all, we enjoy ourselves for this episode. Show notes and more information about our guests and the below.

Dr. Jaye C. Gardiner is a cancer biologist and illustrator who is passionate about STEM education and increasing representation. She received her PhD in Cancer Biology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and is currently completing her postdoctoral work at the Fox Chase Cancer Center in Philadelphia, PA. There, she researches pancreatic cancer's tumor microenvironment with the hopes of understanding how the body's local environment communicates to support the tumor so future therapeutics may disrupt this communication. In addition to research, Jaye creates comics to make science more accessible as the co-founder of JKX comics.

And we're back! Here we go again!
Ralph from the South here! It is the 1 year anniversary of Scientifically Sound! I got my party hat on. So I decided to do something different. I've brought my friend Jasmin Giles from Black in Science Podcast to chill with me as I tell a story of "energetic" proportions. I talk about my love of sampling as we focus in on the song, Energy by Big K.R.I.T, and discuss the law of conservation of energy!
Jasmin Giles currently works full time as a Biomedical Research Assistant while pursuing a Master’s degree in Immunology at Drexel University. She is a graduate of University of Vermont, where she majored in Biological Sciences and minored in Chemistry. Upon receiving her B.S. degree in May of 2017, she accepted a job as a Research Specialist in a lab that primarily focused on HIV/SIV and Malaria research within the University of Pennsylvania’s Perelman School of Medicine. After 2 years in this position, she was offered the opportunity to join a newly established lab whose research revolves around therapy resistance and metastasis in melanoma. She hopes to continue her career as an immunotherapy researcher at an academic institution or within the biotech industry. AND ON TOP OF THAT, she is the creator and host of the podcast, Black in Science Podcast.

Finally, Finale! Potato, Potato. Corn, Beans, and Squash! Welcome to the last episode as we complete Season 1 of Scientifically Sound! Today, we are taking a quick look at vocal arrangement (with a special take from my friend, Ivory Doublette) as far as vocal groups are concerned and finding that something similar happens in the scientific world of plants and agriculture. Inspired by Dr. Beronda Montgomery "Lessons About Plants", we take a look at the Native American/ Indigneous people agricultural trend called Three Sisters.
No Song of the Sound this time because I want you all to check out these cool people and their stories. Three Sisters, Three Women, Three Native Americans of STEM.
