(Dr. Cheryl Hurst and Peter Jones)DOCTOR Cheryl Hurst and MISTER Peter Jones join Alex on the pod today to discuss Cheryl’s life as an organizational psychologist. Cheryl’s career has followed many twists and turns– in undergrad, she failed chemistry but ended up majoring in neuroscience, then got her PhD and became a university lecturer, until ultimately leaving academia for a job in the banking world. Uncontrolled Variables briefly becomes a relationship podcast when Cheryl tells us about her chance meeting with her husband in an elevator in Greece. At Peter’s insistence, Cheryl definitively reveals what’s wrong with comedians (from a behavioral...

Alice is a self-described animal stalker, studying species ranging from sheep to elephants. Alice takes us through a day in the life studying dwarf mongooses (yes, that’s the correct plural) in South Africa, tells us about a near death experience involving bison on a small Danish island, and shares why she decided to move back into a position in academia. Mustafa asks what type of scientist is most likely to win in a fight– let us know if y...

Anneliese tells us about growing up as a Jehovah’s Witness, a life-changing encounter in a chip shop, and her work studying painting restoration (including work on the Last Supper– yes, that one!). Danika asks us to identify the Jo Koy of science and, along the way, queers the microscopy space.www.uncontrolledvariables.com Follow the show on Instagram: www.instagram.com/uncontrolledvariables/ Follow Alex on Inst...

Blocked PartyAlex Berr v. InstagramAlex Berr (comedian) is probably the smartest guest in the show's history, as she has a Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering but also has muted just about every person's stories and posts on Instagram that she follows so it restricts her app use. She has "blocked" Instagram. It's impressive, and so is this episode, as John screws a bunch of stuff up, Alex joins a secret society, and Stefan talks about Cuckold Night on Go Off Kings, which leads us to go way deep on gimp masks and weird pet items. Plus, we discuss the carnivore diet, Stefan gives...

We have the answer this week on Uncontrolled Variables! Alex’s guest cohost, Kristi Durkin (@kristigirl), labels statistician Greg Matthews (@statsinthewild) “English professor vibes with a stats mind.” We learn how Greg navigates working at a Catholic institution, discuss the syntax of “Jerk-off circle” versus “circle jerk,” and discover how professors get hired.www.uncontrolledvariables.com Follow the show on Instagram: www.instagram.com/uncontrolledvariables/ Follow Alex on Instagram: www.instagram.com/al.berr/ Music by Cam...

Busted Business BureauAn Episode About RatsDr. Alex Berr is on the pod to 1) brutally roast me several times and 2) help me think about the questions regarding the business of selling and distributing animals. The question that drives this episode is: Are animals products? We talk about the industry standards for both pet rats and lab rats when it comes to breeding, caretaking, and liability. Dr. Berr got her PhD in biomedical engineering and has PLENTY of experience with mice...it's really cool stuff. While this episode is absolutely hilarious, it's also pretty dark and gross. Don't listen if you're squeamish about animal stuff; this o...
