  • 506 | Environmentally-Conscious Music
    May 20 2025

    In this week's episode, hosts Riya Sidhu and Ryan Baxter interview Catherine Birt, a Doctor of Musical Arts (DMA) candidate in Performance and Literature. Catherine is studying collaborative piano -- this, though, is just the tip of the iceberg! In addition to her interest in piano, Catherine explores the emerging interplay between climate activism and classical music. Intriguingly, Catherine points out that there has been a growing presence of environmental themes in classical music -- one example being the interplay of whale vocalizations ("whale songs") with some classical music in the late 1970s and early 80s, coinciding with the anti-whaling campaign. Catherine plans on doing case studies and interviews with prominent musicians to better explore this interplay. Tune in for more!

  • 505 | Aging Actively
    May 13 2025

    In this week's episode, Maddie Hertz, a PhD candidate in Anthropology, is interviewed by hosts Garth Casbourn and Mark Ambrogio. Maddie's research touches upon the intersection of aging and physical activity. More specifically, her research looks at bone loss in menopausal women, to see how physical activity may mitigate bone loss, comparing the effects of swimming and running. Garth, Mark, and Maddie compare notes on research methods and discuss how even graduate students need to enjoy some outdoor activity! Those interested in learning more may read about the PAVE Lab (Phenotypic Adaptability, Variation, and Evolution Laboratory) here: https://pavelab.ca/ Maddie's doctoral supervisor is Professor Jay Stock.

  • 504 | The Chicken Trials
    May 6 2025

    In this week’s episode, hosts Maris Schneider and Meghan Voll interview Carly Charron, a PhD candidate in Biology, and previous GradCast host! Carly breaks the news about the dangers of eating raw chicken and eggs (say goodbye to that cookie dough batter!) as she researches how to make food safer for consumption, starting at the source – chickens. She is designing a plant-based vaccine to administer to chickens to induce immunity against Salmonella. Carly has just finished her first round of chicken trials, administering her vaccine to a group of chickens who will be studied in various ways to test their immunity. Join us as we talk about her research, her experience patenting her vaccine, and all the educational outreach she does along the way. Recorded on Tuesday, April 29, 2025 Produced by Mark Ambrogio Theme song provided by FreeBeats.io (Produced by White Hot).
