Way back in the 1940s a man, Bertold Wiesner, started a fertility clinic with his wife and helped in the conception 1500 children. 

He had a slightly more hands on approach than most, because he used his own sperm to conceive 600 of those kids. We have Rachel Kiki on to talk about this as they are Wiesner’s grandchild!

We also go into the invention of artificial insemination and IVF

During the Great Dinosaur Rush of the 1800s two men met and started such a venomous rivalry that their decades long feud has come to be known as “The Bone Wars”.

Othniel Marsh and Edward Cope were not only mortal enemies, but also two of the most prolific palaeontologists of all time!

People often complain about a lack of representation of women in STEM industries, but there is one woman that has made her mark on some of the greatest medical breakthroughs of the past 70 years. However this happened entirely unbeknownst to her. Henrietta Lacks was at the centre of one of the biggest controversies surrounding ethics in science
