We’ve got questions, and nerds have answers! Fuelled by a curiosity to understand the world around us – from the critters beneath our feet to the far reaches of the galaxy - Nerdin’ About is a podcast where passionate nerds tell us about their research, their interests, and what they’ve been Nerdin’ About lately. A spin-off of Nerd Nite Vancouver, a community lecture series held in a bar, Nerdin’ About is here to explore these questions with you. Hosted by rat researcher Kaylee Byers (she/her) and astronomy educator Michael Unger (he/him). Elise Lane (she/her) is our Mixing Engineer. Music by Jay Arner. Phone jingle by Pramodh Senarath Yapa. Artwork by Armin Mortazavi.

Why do we sleep? It may surprise you that, although we spend about ⅓ of our lives sleeping, we still have much more to discover about sleep. In this episode of Nerdin’ About we chat with Neuroscientist Rackeb Tesfaye about sleep science, the link between sleep and genetics and how the environment impacts sleep patterns. We also explore Rackeb’s PhD work to better understand the underlying factors that contribute to sleep disturbance among youth with autism. Don’t sleep on this episode!
