#7 — CHRISTMAS SPECIAL: Best Christmas Gifts From a Supervisor

#9 — Do NOT Eat This: Ranking Lab Reagents (Hypothetical) Tastiness

In this episode, we play a completely hypothetical and extremely bad game: ranking lab reagents by how tasty they look. No, we don’t eat anything. Yes, we do question our life choices. From suspiciously colorful solutions to reagents that look way too drinkable for their own good, we debate vibes, aesthetics, and why lab safety training exists. A reminder that science is fun and that you should never trust your eyes in a lab.

#8 — From Nobel to Ig Nobel: The Weirdest Science That Actually Won a Prize

We are back from holiday break! And in this episode, we dive into the Ig Nobel Prizes: the awards that celebrate research that first makes you laugh, and then makes you think. From bizarre experiments to surprisingly insightful studies, we play a game where we guess the Ig Nobel prize winners and discuss why “weird science” still matters. Proof that curiosity doesn’t always look serious and that science can be funny and brilliant.

#7 — CHRISTMAS SPECIAL: Best Christmas Gifts From a Supervisor

It’s our Christmas special! 🎄 In this episode, we ask the most important holiday question of all: What would actually be the best Christmas gift a PI could give their lab members? From realistic wishes (time off, funding, equipment) to completely unhinged dream gifts, we break down what scientists really want under the lab tree. Grab a mug of something warm and join us for festive lab chaos! We will be off during the holidays, and will return after New Years. Happy Holidays everyone!

#6 — Being a Scientist Through the Ages: How Would It Be?

In this episode we time-travel through history to see what being a scientist actually would’ve been like. Ancient Greece? The Enlightenment? 19th–20th century? Spoiler: we wouldn’t survive any of it.

#5 — True or False: Lab Fails Edition

This week we play a chaotic round of True or False: Lab Mishaps Edition. Farting in cell culture? Christmas party of the lab going a little too wild? We share some wild stories (some real, some totally made up) and try to guess which was which. Spoiler: we were terrible at it.
