The Autistic Rant Hour: Exact Sciences: Or Are They?

Exact Sciences are things folks who consider themselves rational and logical assume can be trusted. And they would be, but scientists are only human, and some of them aren’t even autistic, gasp! I had the privilege of pursuing an academic career in Natural Sciences, and there I found hard-working, dedicated professors, who would base their calculations on values with dubious origins, and reject valid findings to scoop the author’s work and publish it as their own. In this scientific episode I will be joined by Dr. Mary Sims (pronouns: she/her), and together we will spill the tea about science shenanigans, and on the way, you might even learn some random details about atmospheric aerosols, vibrational spectroscopy and self-assambled monolayers. You can find Dr Mary Sims’ podcast, Clinical Misfits on the Autistic Culture Podcast Network here.You can support Aut2Aut on Betterplace and Gofundme, or buy our #ActuallyAutistic designs in our print-on-demand shop. This will help prepped.to go on providing a platform for autistic folks to share locations’ sensory info and service instructions.My cat Merlin has a message for you at the end of the episode.Mentioned in this episode:Dr. Mary Sims’ podcast, Clinical Misfits [APCN please insert link here]My paper about the refractive index of Elemental CarbonMy paper about using the Vibrational Stark effect to investigate Self-Assambled MonolayersFafarman et al. 2010 about the effect of hydrogen bonding on the Star tuning rate.
