Why Do I Sound Like That!?

Hello friends, thank you all for listening to the sixth episode of Emily Vs. Science! I was super-super excited to do this episode since it is what I am studying at UW- Madison for my undergraduate degree. I really love learning about speech and hearing and hopefully this episode sheds some light on why! Before I drop the links mentioned in the episode as promised, <a href="https://www.nad.org/resources/american-sign-language/community-and-culture-frequently-asked-questions/#:~:text=For%20many%20people%2C%20the%20words,substandard%2C%20hindered%2C%20or%20damaged.">here</a> is some information on correct terminology when referring to hearing loss from the National Association of the Deaf.

Medical Marijuana

Thank you for listening to my latest episode - I was excited to tackle a controversial topic that my listeners suggested to me via my Instagram! In this episode I look at the history and basis of marijuana restrictions and use. Currently it is used in 45 states and the District of Columbia for either medical use or both medical or recreational use. I look at what is known about the mechanism of action and conjecture the potential benefits of use on different levels. In this podcast I discuss the benefits of marijuana, despite the common perception that marijuana can be used in poor judgement. In this episode, my goal is to highlight the currently researched benefits of medical use of marijuana. Listed below are some of the sources I gathered my information from plus a few websites that detail the history of marijuana use in the U.S. <ul> <li><a href="https://disa.com/map-of-marijuana-legality-by-state">Map of U.S. states and their legislation regarding marijuana </a></li> <li><a href="https://www.nccih.nih.gov/health/cannabis-marijuana-and-cannabinoids-what-you-need-to-know">NIH- What you need to know about cannabis </a></li> <li><a href="https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/consumer-health/in-depth/medical-marijuana/art-20137855">Mayo Clinic on medical marijuana </a></li> <li><a href="https://www.fda.gov/news-events/public-health-focus/fda-and-cannabis-research-and-drug-approval-process">FDA on cannabis research </a></li> <li><a href="https://cen.acs.org/biological-chemistry/natural-products/Cannabis-research-stalled-federal-inaction/98/i25">Federal setbacks on marijuana research </a></li> <li><a href="https://www.webmd.com/a-to-z-guides/medical-marijuana-faq">WebMD FAQ on medical marijuana use </a></li> <li><a href="https://www.dph.illinois.gov/topics-services/prevention-wellness/medical-cannabis/debilitating-conditions">Illinois' list of debilitating conditions that qualify for medical marijuana </a></li> <li><a href="https://www.history.com/news/why-the-u-s-made-marijuana-illegal">History.com: History of marijuana laws </a></li> <li><a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5312634/#:~:text=Cannabis%20is%20a%20plant%2Dbased,Romania%20has%20been%20described%20extensively">NIH: History of medical marijuana use and laws </a></li> <li><a href="https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/326649">Medical News Today: Neurotransmitters </a></li> </ul> Again, thank you for listening and catch ya in the next episode!

The Science Behind Mt. Everest

Thank you for listening to my weird interest in Mt. Everest in this episode! I am not sure why I am so fascinated by this, but there is just something about it that I can’t quite wrap my head around.  Here are the links I said I would provide for ~further explanation~ <ul> <li><a href="https://www.yalemedicine.org/conditions/pulse-oximetry">Yale Medicine: Pulse O</a>x</li> <li><a href="https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/17727-hypoxemia">Cleveland Clinic on Hypoxia</a> <ul> <li>Also: <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK539701/#:~:text=High%20altitudes%20can%20cause%20low,bound%20or%20saturated%20to%20oxygen">supporting evidence from the National Center for Biotechnology Information</a></li> </ul> </li> <li>More on: <a href="https://allthatsinteresting.com/george-mallory-body">George Mallory's Preserved Body</a> (WARNING: graphic images in this article)</li> <li><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/mount-everest-death-zone-what-happens-to-body-2019-5">Business Insider on the Death Zone</a></li> <li><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_people_who_died_climbing_Mount_Everest">List of Mt.

Everest year-round sub-zero temperatures allow for body preservation</a></li> </ul> Somehow I was able to find a picture of my roommate Lexi and I at the top of the mountain we climed in Jasper National Park in Canada. Took a deep dive through my Facebook albums to find this- I wish there were more! Looking back, I truly cannot recall if this was Mt. Columbia, BUT I have no proof suggesting otherwise. Despite that, this was 100% in Jasper National Park... somewhere. <a href="https://www.himalayanwonders.com/blog/mount-everest-base-camp-weather-climate.html#:~:text=Temperatures%20at%20Everest%20Summit%20and,%2D17C%20(1.4F)."> </a> Catch you in the next episode!
