Tiphani Lynn talks Neuroscience

 Figure 1: Tiphani Lynn, about to pounce on the scientific establishment.

Tiphani Lynn, an undergrad at MSU destined for greatness, stopped by Nerdpsyched to talk about neuroscience, her research, circadian rhythms, and eating disorders.

Kathyrn Williamson talks SPACE

Kathyrn Williamson, PhD candidate in the Physics department at MSU popped in the studio on the 12th to talk about space, gravity, science education, and all the great ways Bozeman is tied into these things.

Alison Oneil talks viral capsids on Nerdpsyched

 Figure 1. Alison floating in a sea of viruses.

Alison O'Neil of the Douglas Lab stopped by Nerdpsyched this past Sunday to discuss her research into viral nano-containers. Topics of discussion ranged from virus basics to in-depth research methods, her recent publications, and whether all this could go "Andromeda Strain" on us. Stream below.

Alison is pursing her PhD in the department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at Montana State. Her research regards the manipulation of bacteriophage capsid proteins (the "head" of the virus that typically contains its genetic material) with the objective of filling it with therapeutic agents. She was formerly a researcher at Ligocyte Pharmaceuticals, here in Bozeman, MT.

FYI, t-shirts are still available for free (see post below), for commenters.

Stream Jake Beam's Show

Jake Beam talks thermophiles (originally aired 11/20/11). Stream below.

Stream Egan Lohman's Show!!

Egan Lohman discusses biofuel technology, specifically algal biofuels. Originally aired 11/06/11.

Jake Beam of LRES this Sunday (20th) 9PM!!

Please join me this Sunday, the 20th of November, for a conversation with Land Resources and Environmental Sciences PhD candidate Jake Beam (fig. 1). Jake studies the HOT systems in Yellowstone, characterizing the interesting microbial life forms (thermophiles) that thrive in that unique environment. We'll be discussing what is going on with these life forms and why they're so darn special (other than living at 252 deg. F). Please call (994-4492) in or post questions!

Stream Ehson's hour on the show from below (start at the 3 min mark).

Egan Lohman On Montana Science this Sunday (11/9) 9PM

Figure 1. Egan Lohman Identifying Possible Algal Source.

Please join me this Sunday night (11/6) from 9-10 PM for a discussion with Egan Lohman (fig. 1) about all things algae. There is currently a revolution going on in the algae world and Egan is ALL UP IN IT. Formerly a computer programmer, Egan is following his passion for green energy (he is a passionate passionate man) by pursuing his PhD at MSU in the Center for Biofilm Engineering (http://www.biofilm.montana.edu/). Topics of discussion will include:

What is the CBE?

Egan's work with algae

Biofuel prospects and energy solutions

Genetic engineering

Tune in to KGLT (stream at kglt.net, 91.9-Bozeman) this Sunday night. Then stay tuned in from 10-Midnight for awesome music!

Ehson Mosleh of MSU's Space Science Department!!

Dear Listeners,
Please join me this Tuesday (10/08) night from 9-12 for a conversation with Launch Manager and Man-About-Bozeman Ehson Mosleh! We will be discussing a variety of issues relating to the burgeoning satellite industry and its effects on communication technologies. Ehson will be fielding questions all night. There will also be a banging soundtrack! Stay tuned!

MSU+SCIENCE+MUSIC...KGLT!! BOZEMAN!!

I'll be hosting random science chats here on KGLT (kglt.net to stream), live from Montana State University in Bozeman, MT. Me, Ares, will be asking pointed questions to researchers and scientists from here and beyond. You, the listener will be able to tune in and call with your questions.  AND THERE WILL BE AWESOME MUSIC!

Check back for updates on when the talks are happening and how you can participate!!
