In this episode, we discuss the man who turned poison into medicine 💊☠️ Paracelsus basically invented toxicology and pharmacology! He was such a genius, that nearly 200 years after his death, people wanted to know if his skull shape(?) was the reason he was such a genius.

Next week, at the peak of summer, we’ll take the time to dive into the infamous Year Without a Summer. Which also influenced… Frankenstein 👻

If you’re a fan of The Little Mermaid, H2O: Just Add Water, or Aquamarine… you might want to listen up.

In this episode, we discuss VITAL mermaid knowledge about the history of mermaids and key figures in mermaid culture. Even the mermaid that inspired the Starbucks logo! Who knew?!

Although we’re talking about water, don’t drink too much and overdo it before next week, where we discuss the father of toxicology, Paracelsus. Trust me, you’ll want to hear about his crazy endeavors.
