Sounds
It seems obvious, but at the Doppler Effect we’re kind of obsessed with the way things sound. Since it’s the end of the semester, and we’re tired, we decided to give in and do a show about them. You’ll hear us explain what the Doppler Effect actually means, how cochlear implants work, and what noise pollution might mean for you. In between you’ll hear me ramble about some of my favorite sounds.

By the time our show airs, at 7:30pm on Tuesdays, I’ve already had at least two cups of coffee in an effort to beat back the eternal nemesis of productivity: sleep. On this show, Katie and Boris dig a little deeper into a graduate student’s biggest rival.
The Science of Music
What sound would a Higgs Boson make? And what would your brain do if you heard that sound? Would you like it? Sarah Fecht, Katie Palmer and Chuck Furlong try to answer those questions.
All in the Box
What do amphibian breeding centers and emergency housing have in common? Both can be made from unused shipping containers, the theme of this week’s show. Rose and Sarah tell us about these uses for all those shipping containers you see sitting idle at ports all over the world. But how many extra containers are there really? Katie talks to someone who says that actually, there’s no excess at all.
Emergent Effects
This week, Katie and Sarah introduced us to this cool, weird and powerful idea of emergent effects. What are emergent effects, you ask? Listen and find out!
Neandertal Night
It’s that time of the week again! That’s right, Doppler Effect show time! Last night Katie and Sarah took us back in time to talk about Neandertals. Listen here.
