Science Versus, a popular science podcast, is expanding its reach with a Spanish language version called La Ciencia Versus. The original team, now based in both New York and Australia, is excited to bring new hosts, doctors Leonora Milan and Alejandra Ortiz, on board. Leonora, a biologist with degrees in philosophy of science, and Alejandra, a biologist with a PhD in evolutionary ecology, met when they were both working on a biology textbook for junior high students. When the publishing house pushed the deadline and needed a new author, they were initially worried about the addition, but they ended up working well together and forming a long-lasting friendship. This expansion represents Science Versus' commitment to making science education accessible to a wider audience.
Judging People Based on Appearances is Misleading: Initial impressions can be inaccurate, and getting to know someone beyond their appearance can lead to valuable collaborations and new insights.
First impressions can be deceiving. In the discussed conversation, the speakers initially had concerns about working with a new colleague, Alejandra, based on her appearance. However, they soon discovered that she was not only cool but also a fascinating individual with a wealth of knowledge to share. This is evident in their collaboration on a new book, "The Science of the Beer Belly," which includes essays debunking common myths about the human body. The speakers learned that one such myth, the belief that urine turns pool water purple, is a myth. This experience highlights the importance of getting to know people beyond initial appearances and the value of continuous learning.
