Hiatus over baby!! Soz about that:)

Episode 8: Bloopers!!

Bonus episode! Both me and Mel have been super preoccupied but planning to get back on it. In the meantime enjoy some random bloopers:)

Episode 7: Does cell culture media taste like ham?

This episode we discuss the manosphere, dream guest on our podcast and finally the infamous subredit discussing taste of a range or cell culture medias. P.S. We do not condone trying this at home or in the lab, we certainly will not be trying!

Episode 6: Teaching Labs and Trauma

In this episode, we share some of our listeners best (and worst) lab horror stories, from chaotic teaching labs to questionable PI moments. We talk about the things that go wrong, the stuff no one warns you about, and the kind of experiences every PhD student somehow ends up with. A mix of chaos, questionable decisions, and a reminder that academia isn’t always as put-together as it looks.

Episode 5: Wombs, Radiation & Lab Survival Tactics

Tune in to hear Mel and Ava discuss womb transplants and how understudied MRKH syndrome is (a woman's reproductive disorder). For context erectile dysfunction if 36 times more studied than MRKH syndrome!! We also discuss a horror story sent in from our followers involving radioactive spillages. Finally, we debate what we would use in the lab to defend ourselves from intruders. Another chaotic episode, please enjoy!
