Explain it Like I'm 10!

Mariya Vizireanu, PhD

Want to learn about different complex topics without all the jargon? This science communication coffee chat series is all about explaining complex things in simple ways. I interview amazing people from different scientific backgrounds and ask them to explain their research/areas of expertise to a general audience.

Explain it! Computer Networks (OSI Model)

Here, J & I chat about computer networks and follow the journey of a piece of data through the 7 "layers" of the OSI Model - a conceptual framework that splits communication between devices into 7 different steps.  I also learned that there are two major ways you can send data: one politely asks if you'd like to receive something (TCP), while the other one just shoves it in your face (UPD). I love technology! See the original video version of this episode here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KEG4kjeMCu8&t=395s & follow my YouTube channel!

Explain it! Neuroplasticity

In this episode, I'm chatting with Naj Hoseini, PhD about neuroplasticity - the ability of our brain to change & adapt with new knowledge & experiences. Also, "unmasking" is just weird (but can explain phantom pain)!
