The AudioPH[i]D Ep. 4 - 5/7/13: In Which Scientists Adapt to Austerity A little while ago, we had asked you, the listeners, to send us stories of how the current funding climate for science has affected your career plans. These are some of your responses (read dramatically, of course). We also talk to Shann Yu, an AudioPh[i]D listener who moved from the US to Switzerland for his postdoc because of the funding climate. In just a few short months, he says his idea of a "dream job" has already changed. This isn't the only piece we have for you this month! Be sure to check out the videos (and a comic!), about the changing funding climate for science at phdcomics.com.

Cardiac Cowboys

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
