  • Episode 05: Men, Look After Your Sperm

    This week we welcome our first ever science guest - who also happens to be the shows harshest critic! Join us as he takes us and our extremely scientifically aware non-science guest (his questions put the scientists to shame!) through the cute but sometimes grim world of electrophysiology, where we learn why men should look after all of those little guys hanging out in their balls. ** WARNING - animal lovers may want to skip this one **

  • Episode 03: Voldemort's Sludge Blood

    We start with yet another rant about a particularly problematic article from Science about women and science communication on instagram. We jump right into some creepy vampire-esque neuroscience using mice in an investigation into how our circulatory system might affect memory. We also learn about the effects of one of our favourite things: Alcohol! WOO! But mostly focussed on the worst bit: Hangover. Boooo. And it's links with... alcholism...?
