Little Green Trees

Little Green Trees

This week on SWM we're talking about broccoli. It's random, but it's fun! In this episode both Rachel and I are feeling a bit under the weather with allergies, so if we sound less lively and our voices sound different, that's why. We talk about things that you never would have thought of about broccoli and what it actually is. So lets talk about some little green trees y'all!

On this weeks episode of SWM we're honoring a listener request. We recorded this back in December, before the holidays, that's how long they have been waiting and it's finally here! Sage, this episode goes out to you, one of our biggest supporters and an avid listener. This week we talk all about Sage's favorite animal, which if you haven't guessed yet... it's sharks. In this episode, we're talking about sharks but Rachel is also moderately losing her mind from being tired. It won't disappoint.

Little Particles, Big World

Today we’re talking about subatomic particles. This was a listener request from ages ago that we have finally recorded and gotten out. It’s an interesting topic, but one that put Coty almost to sleep. It’s time for nerdy time with Rachel, get ready for some flavors, talking about spinning, and so much more in this episode. Let’s get into it. And as always, if you have any listener requests, don’t hesitate to reach out and let us know!

Let's Get Elemental: Cadmium, Vanadium, and Gallium

Let's Get Elemental: Cadmium, Vanadium, and Gallium

In this episode of SWM, I've decided that we're going to do something special. Almost like a present. Randomly. And it's going to be a great time. It's another series called, "Let's Get Elemental". I'm going to close my eyes and point to three random elements on the periodic table and then we're going to TALK ABOUT THEM. :) This has a mixture of Name That Scientist and talking about elements, as well as a lot of jokes in between. Stay tuned, as these are going to be presented to you periodically. If you like what you're hearing, be sure to check out our other episodes as well.

According to Rachel, we are all mutants.

According to Rachel, we are all mutants.

According to Rachel in this episode, we're all mutants, but we can't be X-Men. We go off on multiple tangents about genetic mutations, our vibes, and much more. And Rachel ruins my dream of becoming a mutant like Wolverine. Don't forget to check out our other episodes revolving around DNA, as this is part 3 of a 5 part series.

Krause: Tree Hugger and MF’er… That’s Master of Forestry To You

Krause: Tree Hugger and MF’er… That’s Master of Forestry To You

On this week's episode of Science With Millennials we talked to a MF’er….a Master of Forestry! We talked to Krause who had a lot of interesting things to say about trees, fires, and more. They have the podcast “Caught in the Krause Fire” and talk about so many more things that they have accomplished. Krause has been a friend to Coty for a very long time so this was also a great interview for them to catch up and reminisce! Also make sure to listen for our favorite tree species towards the end of the episode.
Krause's Bio:
My name is Krause. I use they/them pronouns and I am currently finishing my Master of Forestry degree from Michigan Technological University's College of Forest Resources and Environmental Science. I am also the outreach assistant for my college, reaching out to prospective students interested in natural resources, agencies and companies in the NR field, and other colleges to collaborate and assure that students are on the right path to their dream career. I am from downstate, a little town called Freeland where I first met Coty in Girl Scouts! This is one of the reasons I became so interested in the outdoors, (the other was always being in the woods with my dad!) I went to Northern Michigan University for my undergrad where I got a bachelor's degree in criminal justice and minor in wildland firefighting. I have been a wildland firefighter for both the US Forest Service and the Michigan DNR for 4 years of my life now. I hope to be a forester out in the field for a while before getting a PhD and teaching back here at Tech in the future!

Loeys-Dietz and Rachel Bleeps: Rachel's Disability Story

On this week's episode of Science With Millennials we are talking all about Rachel once again, but in a different aspect. We explore what it is like to be disabled with a genetic disorder, what the genetic disorder is and what she has endured throughout.

She also talks a lot about her other comorbidities that come along with having this genetic disorder as well as just coming along with her being a person. Listen for the Rachel bleeps and Loeys-Dietz on this episode.
