Kathryn Hall, who appeared on Adam Ruins Spa Day, about how placebos can have such powerful effects on our brains and how placebos are changing the way we conduct science and treat patients. Even traditional medicine takes advantage of the placebo effect, which could mean the placebo effect could play a significant role in treating diseases. New research shows that while placebos may not cure diseases, they can reduce symptoms of our ailments like irritable bowel syndrome and even Parkinson's disease, and in the process actually make us feel better. But scientists are realizing more and more that placebos are more powerful than we realized. Placebos are commonly dismissed as "fake" treatments that have no real power on you or your body.

Raza is a Professor of Medicine and Director of the MDS Center at Columbia University in New York. Raza proposes a different research method that she has used herself, to much success.ĭr. This wastes money from the limited amount of funding that already exists and encourages clinical trials that ultimately go nowhere. Even though humans and mice share over 90 percent of their DNA with one another, our bodies still differ in numerous ways we metabolize food and medicine differently and humans are significantly bigger than mice in size. Raza discussed how the mouse model scientists use for their research is actually ineffective even though a medicine might work well on a rodent, the results don't translate as well as we thought to humans - especially when it comes to cancer research which is what Dr. Azra Raza, who appeared on Adam Ruins Science, says there's a more effective way. When we think of conducting science experiments on subjects, we immediately think of mice models. On the podcast Adam and Rachel had a lively discussion about gender expectations, the negative effects of marketing towards girls and boys, their favorite classic games and even their favorite savory breakfasts.Īdam is on Twitter and you can find past episodes and bonus content from the TruTV show at.

And since we're in the off-season of the TV show, we'll be inviting more guests onto the podcast whose work relates to themes we explored on the TV show or who are doing fascinating work or research that's worth discussing anyway. Rachel did not appear on the Adam Ruins Everything TV show but her work reminded us of the themes we explored in our Adam Ruins Summer Fun episode.

She is a software developer for Microsoft and the founder of the Femicom Museum, a hybrid physical/digital museum and archive dedicated to the preservation and reimagination of femininity, girlhood, and the aesthetics of cute within twentieth-century video games, computing, and electronic toys. Our guest Rachel Weil is trying to change that by preserving these 'girl' games by going around the world and collecting these games and talking to the people who made them. They don't have value in the gaming community and many of these games are being forgotten even though they were just as creative and innovative for the industry.

Do you remember all of those video games that were made for girls back in the 90s? Well they're not being archived the same way that stereotypical boy games are being preserved.
