Incubation Time

Welcome to 2025! Lexus and Pri update you all on their PhD's and future plans. And as a special surprise, they are in studio with Tell Me More Studios to record a video as well!Clips from the podcast are on our instagram @incubation_time

Mouse in the house! This episode we dive straight into mice as a model organism. DISCLAIMER - this is NOT a gory episode. We chat and learn all about behavioral assays used to monitor autism in mice with Ph.D. Candidate and colleague Shayal. Tune-in to listen to how to get a lazy mouse back on their treadmill (don’t we all need this technique), and what does your pipette tip box say about you?

Conferences! What are they? Why do we go? Why are there so many different kinds? Get an inside look into science conferences told from the point of view of our classmates. It is an essential part of the graduate school experience and a big part of a science career. Join us while we unpack the fun, the not so fun and the interesting parts of the science conferences we went to this year. Yes there is a lot of free food and alcohol involved. Yes there are bosses who dance. What other secrets do conferences hold? Tune into Ryan taking on two conferences this summer, one in Canada and one on the East Coast; Lexus going to her rival state; and Sarah going across seas to talk about worms!

The model organism episodes continue, this week featuring fruit flies! Those pesky buggers do more than just populate your banana bowl. Tune in to hear us interview a grad student about what makes fruit flies such a popular model organism and the cool things we can research by using them. Join us, as we find yet another organism name we can't pronounce.

Its that time of year again! Sit down with Priyankaa and Lexus as they discuss the latest Nobel Prizes in Medicine, Chemistry and Physics as well as giving you the science news of the week and the woman in science of the week (she's related to one of the laureates this year!)

We're BACK! Join us post-snowpocalypse as we dive into E. coli, the workhorse of every research lab.  Come find out how it was discovered, the way humans end up with E. coli when we are born, why its such a great and safe organism to use in lab, how fast they actually grow and how bacteria is responsible for one of the worst attacks on US soil (and no, its not the one you're thinking of).  We also interview a guest--our classmate Ryan Otto--about his experience working with E. coli in his lab. Woman in Science featured: Gertrude Elion (https://www.nobelprize.org/womenwhochangedscience/stories/gertrude-elion) Episode Breakdown: 0:00- Intro live from the Snow-pocalypse 6:20- Gertrude Elion 9:50- History of E. Coli 22:00- When cults meet bacteria 25:10- Science of E. coli 31:00- How much E. coli? 34:50- Interview with Ryan Otto Follow us on twitter and instagram @incubation_time, subscribe on any podcast site! -Lexus and Priyankaa

Hi everyone! Welcome to the Podcast.  For our first episode, we thought it would be good to introduce ourselves.  Learn why we love science, how we got here, and what our lives in lab are like right now!Subscribe to us on all the pod sites for new episodes every two weeks (fingers crossed)! -Priyankaa and Lexus
