Lauren and PJ Do Science

Library Science with The Library Punks!

On this week's episode we're joined by Justin and Jay of The Library Punk Podcast (https://www.librarypunk.gay/ [https://www.librarypunk.gay/]) where we learn all about why libraries are important, what their function is, how information is organized, and a whole lot more. PJ also drops a rap track about libraries that is so hot it melted steel beams. Jay-Z, Eminem, Snoop, Kendrick, Meek, be on notice because he's coming for your crowns. And don't forget!

Science is Cute Without The 'E' (Cut From The Budget)

This week Lauren and PJ rage against the machine a little bit and get some things off their chests. The National Science Foundation board has been dismissed, years of cuts in research and arts have piled up and piled up and we're mad as hell and we're not gonna take it anymore! Tune in to find out why this is so bad and why PJ agrees with the president? (Oooo PJ learned clickbait!) #Science #STEM #NSF #NationalScienceFoundation #budgetcuts

Artemis 2 Part III Or The 2026 Bellyflop Championship!

Its celebration time here on Lauren and PJ Do Science! The Orion capsule has safely splashed down in the Pacific Ocean thus ending the Artemis II mission. PJ recaps the mission, some of the science done and looks towards the future and we even go into some interesting Lauren lore learning about her questionable taste in men and borderline obsession with Christopher Lee (rumor has it, his estate listened to this episode and filed a restraining order). We however desperately need your help on this episode! Both of our hosts wrote a song celebrating Artemis II and its up to you fine folks to tell us which one you liked better! So vote in the comments and the loser has to face a punishment on the next show. So listen up and be honest. They can take the criticism... which is only because they've funded many a vacation and a large boat for their respective therapists.

Artemis 2 Part II or "We're Going On A Trip In Our Favorite Rocket Ship"

The Artemis II crew has officially blasted off on humanity’s first trip around the Moon in over 50 years—and we’re following every thruster burn, orbit tweak, and cosmic bathroom repair right along with them. Lauren and PJ break down how the launch went, what the astronauts are up to in space, and why this mission is such a huge step toward putting people back on the lunar surface. We also talk about the great Outlook-in-space fiasco (to quote a wise man "Out of order!? **** even in the future nothing works!), and of course… the tragic saga of Shower Guy, our stowaway who learned the hard way that showers in space aren't what he thinks. Check out the official NASA Artemis II mission tracker at nasa.gov [https://www.nasa.gov/missions/artemis-ii/arow/] — it’s the real-time feed showing the Orion spacecraft’s position, speed, and distance from Earth and the Moon. #ArtemisII #NASAMission #ToTheMoon #SpacePodcast #LaurenAndPJDoScience #OrionSpacecraft #ScienceComedy #SpaceExploration #ShowerGuyForever #ArtemisCrew #OutlookInSpace

The Podcasthon 2026 Special! or Everything Is Awesome!

We interrupt our regular programming for #Podcastathon 2026! Lauren and PJ are super excited to be participating in their first #Podcastathon this year. PJ is a massive Lego fan so what better than to pick a charity that combines Lego and STEAM (Science, Technology, Education, Arts, Math)? We’ll be talking all about the BrickCon Foundation which is the 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization supported by the BrickCon convention and even have a discussion with Steven Walker, the President of the BrickCon Foundation. So sit back, relax, grab a Lego set and enjoy!
