We all are surrounded by science in our daily lives, but little do we understand or sometimes are also unaware of many possibilities that science has to offer to each one of us. And hence to keep the listeners updated, the channel also hosts episodes on various science topics like, Citizen Science, Autism, Space Debris, Vitamin D, Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation, Under Water Noise Pollution and many more. All these topics are carefully handled by our subject matter experts in the TR Talks segment. They are experts in their own fields coming from across the world, and giving us all the benefit of their knowledge. The channel is deeply humbled and greatful to each one of the experts.

As an effort to boost up the scientific thinking in all, a toolkit is rolled out by the Nobel Prize committee, in association with University of California, Berkeley. This toolkit has been developed under the leadership of Saul Perlmutter, 2011 Nobel Prize laureate in physics. Evidence and Iteration is part of this toolkit. Our episode today takes inspiration from this effort.
Reducing uncertainty is often not possible but, this is not stopping us from using scientific knowledge.

Everytime you read a new information on the internet or even a simple scroll of your social media page, is nothing but an opportunity to build your critical thinking skills. Seeking clarification before accepting something as a fact or evaluating others´ opinions is reflective of an open mind and an avid critical thinker.
Lecturing, whether boring or captivating, has become the most dominant way of teaching, in schools or universities. The passive receivers of information are ususally seen taking notes or gulping down the information in awe, but seldom seen asking questions. This decline in active thinking leads to decreased cognitive agility. Our today´s episode throws light on Awestruck Effect.
An estimated 4% of the global population currently experiences an anxiety disorder. In 2019, 301 million people in the world had an anxiety disorder, making anxiety disorders the most common of all mental disorders. People may experience more than one anxiety disorder at the same time. Symptoms often begin during childhood or adolescence and continue into adulthood. Today we talk about one type of anxiety that affects many students, Science Anxiety. An anxiety that refers to students’ negative emotions about learning science.

The assumption that scientists who do science outreach are not good enough scientists is called Sagan effect. But I strongly agree to what Einstein said, “If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough.” So, I wish to change the definition of Sagan Effect to: Scientists who can convey their work effectively to the common man, actually, are true subject matter experts, just like Carl Sagan. This according to me, should be Sagan Effect. Well, I always like to look at the brighter side of the coin! Listen to our episode today and feel free to pour in your thoughts.Link to our website:https://trationale.com/

Some people are experts in sharing WhatsApp videos that show Earth to be flat or promoting anti-vaccine campaigns. Well yes, one reason for such anti scientific thinking could be that they were the ones sleeping in the science class at school, thinking, Science is useless and I donot want to become a scientist. Tune in to our episode to understand other reasons that drive anti-science thinking and what solutions are offered by authors of this paper https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2120755119 to combat this.Link to our website:https://trationale.com/
Welcome to our episode on Neil deGrasse Tyson. Wikipedia says he is an American astrophysicist, author, and science communicator. But believe me, he is much more to that, I would say he is a synonym to a curiosity driver. So Startalk begins right now ;-)Link to our website:https://trationale.com/
Today, we zoom in our focus to the curiosity ambassadors of our society, our kids. Kids are innately curious. The awe and wonder that they exhibit in all realms of life is exceptional. So definitely there is not much that our podcast can or even wishes to add, to their already existing inner scientific potential. Kids are wonderful as they are. They have their own ways to think and get to the answers. It‘s best to leave their innate curiosity undisturbed. So our today´s episode is not about bringing their scientific attitude to the forefront, because it already is. Our today´s episode is rather about how to sustain this innate talent of theirs. What we as adults can do, to not rip them off their scientific side while over their growing years they get loaded with academic pressures. Hope you enjoy this episode.Link to our website:https://trationale.com/
Media is a secondary source of scientific news. Only when there is effective communication regarding any scientific development, the probability of spread of incomplete information declines. This supports public interest in science and in fact may incorporate public voice in various policy decisions. So today we discuss about how scientific controversies emerge and what can be done to popularize science effectively.Link to our website:https://trationale.com/
