This season, we’re looking closely at the dark side of science. This week, we’re delving into a time where it was NORMAL to feed lice with your own blood, all in the name of science of course…

Typhus was ravaging populations in colder climates and poor living conditions. The bacteria spreads through body lice that live in the clothes of unsuspecting victims. This is the story of how a vaccine was developed… though it’s not as conventional as you might think…

This season, we’re looking closely at the dark side of science. This week, we’re unveiling the Tuskegee Syphilis Study.

This study is now recognized as a profound violation of medical ethics and a stark example of systemic racism in American healthcare. Its impact is still felt today in the mistrust many Black Americans have toward medical institutions.

As we explore this history, we’ll do our best to approach it with respect, and a focus on understanding what the experiment entailed and its consequences.

⚠️ WARNING: things are about to get uncomfortable. We’ll be tackling some disturbing and ethically questionable stories, but always through thoughtful, scientific discussion. And today we’re starting with one of the strangest cases in psychological research: the ape and child experiment — yes, the study where a chimpanzee was raised side-by-side with a human child as if they were siblings. It’s as wild as it sounds.

🫖 And for our brand-new laboraTEAAA segment this season, you guys are in control. You send in the questions — absolutely anything — and we’ll give you our brutally honest answers. No filter. No sugar coating. And let’s just say… one of this week’s questions involves someone getting a little too intimate with the histology paraffin wax. Yeah… It’s that kind of episode.

But what if we told you… he didn’t do it alone?

Behind the war rooms, the machines, and the myth was someone else—

a woman in the shadows, armed not with weapons, but with numbers, logic, and relentless precision. She didn’t seek the spotlight, but her mind helped alter the course of history.

Her name? Joan Clarke. Tune in to learn all about her pioneering work.

The year is 1898. In a cramped Paris laboratory, Marie and her husband Pierre discover two new elements: polonium and radium. These glowing substances would open the door to the age of radioactivity, transforming medicine and physics forever. But the discoveries came at a cost. Years of exposure slowly poisoned Marie, and despite winning two Nobel Prizes in different sciences (QUEEN), she was denied a seat at the French Academy of Sciences, SIMPLY because she was a woman.

🪄 Without Marie Curie, we wouldn’t have X-rays in hospitals, cancer radiotherapy, or even our modern understanding of radioactivity. S

The year is 1953. A young patient, known only as H.M., undergoes brain surgery to cure his severe epilepsy. The procedure stops his seizures, but leaves him unable to form new memories. Enter Brenda Milner, who, through years of careful observation and experiments, makes a groundbreaking discovery: memory isn’t just one thing. There are multiple systems in the brain, and H.M.’s story would forever change how we understand learning, memory, and the human mind.

🪄 Without Brenda Milner, we might never have known that short-term and long-term memory rely on different brain regions. Her work opened the door to modern neuroscience and showed us how fragile and fascinating our memory really is.

🫨 And for this week’s LaboraTEAAAA… we're doing another WWYD if?! You guys submitted some funny ones this time round, and some that got us questioning if they were based on your own real life scenarios.

🪄At first, the glow is MAGICAL?! their clothes sparkle in the dark, their skin shimmers after a shift. But soon, strange and terrifying symptoms begin to appear. Teeth falling out. Bones aching. Jaws literally crumbling away. What followed was a fight for justice that would change workplace safety laws forever, and expose a cover-up that corporations hoped would never see the light of day.

🫨And for this week’s LaboraTEAAAA… you are NOT ready. We got an email from a listener who thinks they’ve been catfished on Tinder… by their own PI. Yes, you read that right.

Welcome to Episode 2 of OVERLOOKED! This series is all about diving into the forgotten side of his-tory , the women in STEM who made massive contributions but didn’t get the credit they deserved! 🥲This week, we’re talking about one of the most iconic scientists of the 20th century: Rosalind Franklin!!

🧬 You’ve probably heard her name in passing, maybe in the context of DNA ...BUT do you actually know the full story? Rosalind Franklin was the woman behind the X-ray image that helped crack the structure of DNA… but while Watson and Crick got the Nobel, she got left out. Her work was essential, her story is wild, and the way she was treated? Let’s just say we’ve got OPINIONS...

😳 And of course, it wouldn’t be an episode without some fresh laboraTEAAAA. This week, we’ve got a listener who’s feeling like they might be too dumb for their degree. They’re doing bioinformatics but struggling with maths and chem, and to make it worse, their friends are laughing at them for it?! Let’s talk about imposter syndrome and why the problem isn’t you, it’s the system.

This week we are exposing the science in an ABSOLUTE classic, Jurassic Park. If you’ve been living under a rock… or should I say fossil (that was really bad I know), then we delve into the film franchise and how these dinosaurs came to be. Is it realistic? Is the science accurate? Could we actually bring back dinosaurs or other species from extinction? Word on the street is that woolly mammoths might one day roam the earth. Listen in to find out.

Not only that but we are back with the listener favourite, LaboraTEA time. This week we hear from one of our listeners who has asked us for advice on a PI that might be pocketing grant money for himself… look we all know academia doesn’t pay well but its giving thief hunnies…

Today we are going to be talking about LOVE… No, it is not valentines day but Yaz has some interesting stories about her love life and she delves into what’s going on in the science behind this crazy emotion.

Dating and love can be difficult, you feel a strong desire for someone but maybe you aren’t sure about your feelings. Yaz discusses the reasons you may be feeling a certain way. We discuss hormones, studies of the brain and our own stories.

Then after all of this talk about love, we will be doing our LaboraTEA a little bit different. We will be hosting THE BIG FAT SO CULTURED PODCAST QUIZ….. If you’re an avid listener you will be used to some dumb comments or questions, so why not put it to the test? You will also get the chance to take part.

Let us know your scores in the question box on Spotify!

fitness advice is more confusing than it has ever been, but today liv is breaking down the actual science behind this topic. Specifically she’ll cover how our muscles ACTUALLY grow, if gene variants may influence whether that superset workout you saw on tiktok will even work for you, and if protein powder is a scam or actually beneficial?

YEH, there’s a lot to get into! Straight after, Yaz is reading ANOTHER listener story all about someone dealing with a case of a STINGY PI. upgrades are needed, and the so cultured girlies are here to tell you how to bag them!
