Rabbit Hole of Research

De: Jotham Austin II PhD Nick Elizalde and Georgia Geis
  • Resumen

  • Our goal is to have fun learning science through the lens of science fiction, fantasy, and pop-culture. We will start in one place and let the conversation lead us down the winding scenic road exploring the science in science fiction, separating the facts from the Handwavium. We’ll have a little fun and you’ll learn a few facts you can use to impress your friends at a party or use as a conversation starter to go down your own rabbit holes.

  • Episode 13: Blockbusters and Frozen Landscapes: Climate Change Through the Lens of Pop Culture
    Jul 10 2024

    Hello Fam! Hope y’all are doing well. So, here is Episode 13. Thank you for tuning in and supporting us. Our goal is to have a little fun exploring science through the lens of science fiction, fantasy and pop culture.

    In this episode, Joe and Nick are joined by Dr. David Pincus from the University of Chicago to delve into the fascinating and alarming world of climate change and thawing permafrost. They discuss the potential dangers of melting permafrost, including the revival of ancient viruses and bacteria. The conversation meanders through topics like the revival of woolly mammoths, geoengineering solutions like solar shades, and how meteorite impacts could lead to abrupt climate changes. They also touch on various forms of media, including the science behind movies like ‘Twister,’ 'The Day After Tomorrow,' 'Frozen II,' and even a nod to 'Sharknado.' The trio share their drinks of choice while exploring the intersection of science and pop culture, making for an engaging and somewhat humorous discussion on a critical global issue.

    We hope you enjoy. Tell a friend! Don’t forget to give us 5 stars or a like!
