Andrew and Wen talk with comedian and biomedial engineer Pallavi Gunalan (followable on Twitter, Instagram and Tik Tok) about science, peer review, stem cells, Spartacus for some reason, how much sex Stephen Hawking had, and SO much more! But especially, where it all went wrong. In this case, a scandal so big that it rocked the scientific world when the author of a research paper falsified data, which led to 6 months of investigation, drama and even a tragic death.

Pallavi also tells us about her numerous charitable projects, for which volunteers are always needed! The links to the projects discussed in the episode are included below!
