OM DENNE PODKAST 🔗
Strange Bites is a short science podcast. Lance Martin takes a real discovery in biology, physics, neuroscience, genetics, anthropology, or paleontology and explains it in about fifteen minutes, with just enough story to make the facts stick.
New episodes twice a week.
Recent bites include a brain built from two lineages, bacteria that grow their own wires, a gene that can still jump, and fossils that may have been an animal’s compass. Sources are in the show notes. The science is not simplified past recognition. It is told so you can follow it.
If you want weird science, new discoveries, and a science podcast you can finish on a walk, start anywhere. Stay strange. Question everything.

NYESTE EPISODE 🔗
About ninety-nine million years ago, in a forest that is now northern Myanmar, a small lizard made a decision that is still sitting in a piece of amber. Something came for it. The lizard dropped its tail. The tail did not come off by accident. The break is clean, the muscle ring is still there, and…

SISTE EPISODER 🔗
Somewhere under the Atlantic, in mud that has not seen daylight since the Cretaceous, there is a needle smaller than a speck of dust. It is made of magnetite, the same iron mineral a compass desires, but it is not a compass you could hold. It’s about the size of a bacterial cell and its magnetism i…
There is a gene in you that was supposed to have retired. It learned a job in the brain, the kind of job a settled gene is allowed to keep, and then it refused to sit down. Most of the old movers in the human genome are fossils. This one kept the knife.
The gene is called BC200. It is expressed mai…
On October 5, 2026, in Stockholm, the Nobel Assembly at Karolinska Institutet gave the Prize in Physiology or Medicine to three people who never set out to build a remote control for memory. Karl Deisseroth, Peter Hegemann, and Georg Nagel share it “for their discoveries concerning light-gated ion …
Put a finger on the back of your neck.
Not hard. Just enough to feel the pulse.
That pulse is not a thought. It is an older employee. It keeps the heart honest. It keeps the lungs from quitting mid-sentence. It will still be on the clock when the part of you that writes poems has gone to bed. For …
You can hear a heart from across a room if the room is quiet enough. A wet drum in the dark that has been keeping time since before you had a name. Most of the time it does the job without asking for applause. Sixty to a hundred beats a minute. In. Out. Squeeze. Rest. A little electric spark jumps …
Close your eyes for a second. Not all the way. Just enough that the world goes soft. Behind those lids is a piece of your brain that crawled forward during evolution and learned how to drink light. Those cells, the ones that grab photons and fire them down a cable into your skull, are some of the m…
Eleven thousand years ago, someone in what is now southeastern Turkey sat down with a block of limestone and carved a story we still cannot read. A person sitting on the back of a leopard. In Episode 61, we bring that story back into the light.
Imagine you are standing in the dry hills of the Tekte…
In episode 60 we crawl into the muck and find a creature that does not wait for a plug. It grows its own power lines out of nickel it steals from the dirt, braids them thinner than thought, and runs electricity through a body that can be thousands of cells long.
The discovery is real. The new stru…
In Episode 59 we walk into a lab at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology where engineers did not build a faster chip. They taught bacteria to act like the tiny switches inside your phone… and then they printed those living switches onto a plate and watched a circuit board wake up and grow.
