University of the Sciences Presentation

Wow, my name in lights!

I had a great time talking to students and faculty at the University of the Sciences in Philadelphia on Oct 25. Topics were the New Jersey State Microbe, and my book, Dr Warhol’s Periodic Table of Microbes, The Small Guide to Small Things. Both topics hinge on effective science communication, a concept woven throughout the presentation. The skills and tactics needed to effectively interact with the nonscientific public, legislators, and scientists outside of your own discipline were all part of the lively seminar.

Thank you for inviting me, USciences!

Get the book!https://tinyurl.com/Warhol-Small-GuideIt costs less than a burger and a Coke, it lasts longer, and is more fun!

They’ve found the cause of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. Babies who die of SIDS have a significantly lower level of an enzyme, the purpose of which is to rouse the baby from sleep if necessary (such as the baby stops breathing). This is extremely huge science and medicine news. There is a biological reason. It’s not random.

Dr. Carmel Harrington, the lead researcher for the study, was one of these parents. Her son unexpectedly and suddenly died as an infant 29 years ago. In an interview with the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC), Harrington explained what she was told about the cause of her child’s death.


“Nobody could tell me. They just said it’s a tragedy. But it was a tragedy that didn’t sit well with my scientific brain.”


Since then, she’s worked to find the cause of SIDS, both for herself and for the medical community as a whole. She went on to explain why this discovery is so important for parents whose babies suffered from SIDS.


"These families can now live with the knowledge that this was not their fault,” she said.

this is super important

normal people watching medical videos: this is interesting but also really gross and i don’t know why i’m watching it

me, an absolutely useless science nerd, watching medical videos: BIOPSY! BIOPSY! BIOPSY!
