  • #9 — Do NOT Eat This: Ranking Lab Reagents (Hypothetical) Tastiness
    Feb 3 2026

    In this episode, we play a completely hypothetical and extremely bad game: ranking lab reagents by how tasty they look.

    No, we don’t eat anything. Yes, we do question our life choices.

    From suspiciously colorful solutions to reagents that look way too drinkable for their own good, we debate vibes, aesthetics, and why lab safety training exists.

    A reminder that science is fun and that you should never trust your eyes in a lab.

  • #8 — From Nobel to Ig Nobel: The Weirdest Science That Actually Won a Prize
    Jan 20 2026

    We are back from holiday break! And in this episode, we dive into the Ig Nobel Prizes: the awards that celebrate research that first makes you laugh, and then makes you think.

    From bizarre experiments to surprisingly insightful studies, we play a game where we guess the Ig Nobel prize winners and discuss why “weird science” still matters.

    Proof that curiosity doesn’t always look serious and that science can be funny and brilliant.

  • #7 — CHRISTMAS SPECIAL: Best Christmas Gifts From a Supervisor
    Dec 16 2025

    It’s our Christmas special! 🎄 In this episode, we ask the most important holiday question of all: What would actually be the best Christmas gift a PI could give their lab members?

    From realistic wishes (time off, funding, equipment) to completely unhinged dream gifts, we break down what scientists really want under the lab tree.

    Grab a mug of something warm and join us for festive lab chaos!

    We will be off during the holidays, and will return after New Years. Happy Holidays everyone!
