  • From the Radiolab podcast: A series of energetically uneasy investigations into the temple of our souls.
    Sometimes a seemingly silly question gets stuck in your craw and you can’t shake the feeling that something big lies behind it. We are constantly collecting these kinds of questions from our listeners, not to mention piling up a storehouse of our own “stupid” questions, as we lovingly call them. And a little while back, we noticed a little cluster of questions that seemed to have a shared edgy energy, and all led us to the same place: Our own bodies.
    So, in this episode of Radiolab, we go down our throats and get under our skin, we take on evolution and anatomy and molecular cosmetics, to discover some very not-stupid answers to our seemingly stupid questions.

    In considering the actual effect of the bug bite tool, and The discussion of the placebo effect, they didn't really talk about how much the placebo effect seemed to account for what was seen.
    In talking about mechanisms of operation, it seems to me plausible that the local disruption that the vacuum state imposes on the tissue could facilitate more effective immune response, even if it doesn't remove the saliva. And promoting a more effective immune response might assist removal of the saliva already distributed in the bloodstream as well.

    What about the 3 lobes of the right lung?

    • @brittanyengels913
      @brittanyengels913 7 месяцев назад

      My thoughts too! Maybe because each lobe isn't the exact same...

    Two things: Eat more garlic. Number two , rub Bounce sheets on you and your doorways. Plus, rosemary, thyme, lavender and peppermint.

    TRICEPS!?!? Obviously the most popular trio in the body…how did they not notice this? I was shouting at my phone the whole story lol

    I just hope Robert Krulwich and Jad come back to this show. The other hosts are too dramatic and childish.

    Man, the mosquito segment makes me doubt the journalistic capabilities of the girl that was discussing "The Bug Thing".

    Hey y'all! New listener here for two weeks. Love the show! But god, that girl who talks about mosquitos... I, I , I and I is all she says. Really annoying, not professional on top she has à really obnoxious tone with a low level of language.

    Triceps?

    • @tylerasmith52
      @tylerasmith52 8 месяцев назад

      Thats what im saying!

    • @Earthshine256
      @Earthshine256 8 месяцев назад +1

      But you have two of them. And the 'ceps' in triceps are in fact just anchorage points, not separate organs or some symmetrical parts.
      Three valves with trilateral symmetry each feels like much more appropriate answer to the questions

    Uh! I used to love this show. I’ve tried and tried, but Lulu’s voice grates on me. Listened years before she came along; I guess I will listen again when she’s gone.

      there's literally no reason to say this. if you don't have anything nice to say. don't say it.
