When you play the villain so well… you accidentally surprise yourself.

@bryancranston would only read the next Breaking Bad episode's script after filming of the previous episode was over!

In our new episode out today, beloved actor Bryan Cranston sat down with Natural History Museum London's @AlanDHart to talk about the chemistry of Breaking Bad, minerals making prime time TV, and other behind-the-scenes tidbits from one of our generation's greatest TV shows.

Listen wherever you get your podcasts, or watch the full episode on the Sing for Science YouTube channel.

Recorded at @natural_history_museum in London.

Alcohol is a bully you can’t beat up alone.

Neuroscience shows us this too. In studies performed at UCLA, when you’re just looking at a picture of your loved one, the feeling of pain lessens.

In our encore @singforscience episode this week, Moe Szyslak and his human counterpart @HankAzaria talk with social neuroscientist Dr. Kevin Ochsner about how and why our brains are wired to thrive in social contexts like Moe’s Tavern, Hank’s experience recovering from alcoholism, and the neural underpinnings of practicing acceptance.

This episode was recorded live at @columbia’s Forum Theater on 10/8/24, and co-presented by @zuckermanbrain.

The age old question: Why do tapirs poop together in water?

@ebrenesmora gives us the dirty details in our episode with Costa Rica’s most successful artist @debinova.

And when you consider the sheer volume of vegetation passing through a tapir in a day—up to 50 pounds of pure plant power—it’s no wonder field biologists like Esteban have ample opportunity to observe them at their most vulnerable.

@courtneybarnett and entomologist @jessicaleeware42 did some praying mantis show and tell on the latest episode of Sing for Science! Including one who had just eaten her mate.

Courtney’s latest album Creature of Habit features a vintage photograph of praying mantis on its cover, frozen in its iconic prayer pose.

We talk about the science and symbolism of the creature, and how the female’s habit of eating her mate is less femme fatale, and more ultimate mother behavior.

40 years ago today, the Chernobyl disaster took place.

🇺🇦 Ukrainian star Nata Zhyzhchenko of the band, @onukaofficial, shared the history of the sopilka and spoke to Chernobyl Radiobiologist, Olena Pareniuk (@rovena_137 ) about studying radioactivity in the Chornobyl exclusion zone, Ukrainian resilience and so much more.

In one of the most biodiverse countries in the world, wouldn’t it make sense that the music of Costa Rica would be just as diverse?

Costa Rican star @DebiNova has been investigating what her country sounds like musically. Turns out, there’s not one answer.

Costa Rica has diversity as its identity.

Debi spoke with @rewild’s Mesoamerica Director Esteban Brenes-Mora about her album Todo Puede Convertirse en Canción (“Everything Can Become a Song”), exploring the challenges and gifts of rewilding, what drives Costa Rica’s remarkable biodiversity, the bathroom habits of tapirs, and what it means to find balance and coexistence between humans, animals, and the ecosystems we share.

What sounds like home to Costa Rican star @debinova?A specific bird that has many names, but in English it would be called “The Judas Bird.”

Its call resembles, “Cristofué,” or “it was Jesus.”
