8. Gattaca EXPOSED + we guess each others PhD projects!

Hey So Cultured fammm! IT’S THE LAST EPISODE OF THE SERIES…CRY!!!!! In this final week we are exposing a less known Sci Fi film (imo anyway)… GATTACA! Now I’m gonna go ahead and say that this is probably the most scientifically accurate film as it dives into the world of genetically edited babies and a dystopian future where your class depends on whether you’re ‘In utero’ or ‘In vitro’. Is it realistic? Is the science accurate? Could we be looking at genetically modified humans in the future? Based on our research… it’s already happened! Listen in to find out. Not only that but we are back with the listener favourite,LaboraTEA time. As you may well know, we always do something a little bit different in the final ep of the series. This week we are guessing eachothers PhD projects based on the title alone. So, if you want to join us in trying to guess what eachothers PhDs involved, then listen till the end!   Have your own LaboraTEA to share for next season?

7. Interstellar EXPOSED + getting drunk at conferences?

It’s that time of the week again… time to expose some sci fi science with your STEM besties + this week we’re delving into the film ‘INTERSTELLAR’. One of the best sci fi movies of ALL time (we think). Join us as we discuss what wormholes are + if they’re REAL, whether we could transport embryos to space and if we could survive falling into a black hole! There’s a lot to unpack so, let’s get into it! And for todays LABORATEA, we are back with some super fun POLLS.. Tune in to hear more! P.s we are super sad to say that next week is the FINAL episode of season 3, so tune into for our laboraTEA finale next week + to hear all the details about what’s coming in season 4 + what the theme might be!

6. The Meg EXPOSED + we cheated on our exams...

Episode 6 will take us beneath the waves… Today we will be exploring the scientific accuracies… and inaccuracies of The Meg. This episode dives deep into whether a megalodon could still be lurking in our ocean and how the film matches up to the science. Could we ever see the return of this extinct species? This weeks laboratea sees the polls return! We’ve had such a positive response from the last set of polls, so we have brought them back. We asked our IG followers whether they have ever cheated in a class test, or whether they can switch off from work… tune in to find out more.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.
Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
