Description:

On your mind this week: we spend some time talking about the lessons Adel learnt in his masters, apparently one was the term “Neuro-Gothic” which I’m pretty sure doesn’t exist. Meanwhile Liam’s meeting with his supervisor didn’t go quite as planned, and Kathryn rock the socks off her committee meeting. 

 

During his hours alone in the cell culture room Liam has been catching up on other podcasts including The Partially Examined Life, a philosophy podcast with a couple great episodes on philosophy of science. And Kathryn has been reading about Twitter Psychosis. Is it real? The authors have apologized for the hyperbolic title, now if only people would stop writing them. This leads us down a wormhole of a conversation about the place of case studies in science.

 

 

Finally our paper this week examines the role of MicroRNA 135 in depression. This strikes close to home for Liam who was an author on a recent similar paper.
