January 28, 2026 The Episode Where Everything Stinks
Just once, it would be great if Maggie and Brynna could do a BS episode where everything was very clear-cut and obvious. That will not be today. Our featured scientist today has a legacy that stinks, but it's not quite that simple.

October 15, 2025 Prophet and Propagandist of Botany
One thing about BAs: they've got passion for their field of expertise. This is completely true for the BA that Maggie and Brynna discuss this week. He was obsessed with plants in the best way, and even was director of a place that allowed him to be continually surrounded by the most incredible and varied plant species in the world.
