The Science of Music
29 March 2011

What sound would a Higgs Boson make?  And what would your brain do if you heard that sound?  Would you like it?  Sarah Fecht, Katie Palmer and Chuck Furlong try to answer those questions. Listen here!









Microbes
22 March 2011

This week on The Doppler Effect, we sweated the small stuff: microbes.  Sarah takes us to the murky depths of the vaginal microbiome.  Boris tells us about the viral benefits of kissing (OK we know viruses aren't microbes, but they are small!).  Rose tells us why we think those last two things are disgusting. Listen here!






All in the Box
1 March 2011

What do amphibian breeding centers and emergency housing have in common?  Both can be made from unused shipping containers, the theme of this week's show.  Rose and Sarah tell us about these uses for all those shipping containers you see sitting idle at ports all over the world.  But how many extra containers are there really?  Katie talks to someone who says that actually, there's no excess at all.

Listen here!
