About Sing for Science
Sing For Science is a science-and-music podcast where musicians sit down with scientists to explore the scientific ideas hidden in their most iconic songs. Listen to JD from Korn talk about “Dead Bodies Everywhere” with a mortuary-science expert, Sia explore one of her breakup ballads with an attachment-theory psychologist, and many, many more. Created and hosted by New York musician Matt Whyte, the show seeks to uncover connections wherever they may exist and build bridges between seemingly disparate voices, styles, and walks of life. Sing For Science is made possible in part by a grant from the Simons Foundation. New episodes release every two weeks—subscribe now. Want to catch a live Sing For Science taping in your city?

It was listed as a disorder, a mental health problem, and that only changed in the 1970s And it changed in the 1970s when gay rights activists started demonstrating against the American Psychiatric Association, showed up at their meeting in San Francisco in 1970 saying, stop it, you're making us sick.
