12. From chicken bones to bone music - w/ Alexander Meaney

Welcome back to The Science Basement Podcast!

Our guest this week is Alexander Meaney, who is a doctoral student in the computational inverse problem group at the Department of Mathematics of the University of Helsinki. He works on reconstructing 3D images from 2D X-Ray screenings! His research aims at improving the current techniques, so that patients would need less X-Ray screenings to get their 3D image, which means that they would be exposed to less radiation.

...and, of course, it wouldn't be an episode of the TSB podcast without a science anecdote. This time we talk about the "bone music" phenomenon during the Cold War years of the Soviet Union!
