10. The woman who discovered the opiate receptor in the brain + someone is LIVING in the lab?

🧠 welcome to the LAST episode of OVERLOOKED, the series where we shine a light on the women in STEM who history often left in the shadows. For our last episode, we’re talking all about Candace Pert, the groundbreaking neuroscientist who discovered the opioid receptor. Her work not only changed our understanding of how the brain and body communicate but also opened doors for modern medicine. She challenged the establishment, broke barriers as a woman in science, and proved just how powerful persistence and brilliance can be.😳 And don’t forget this week’s LaboraTEAAAA… we’ve got a wild anonymous story about someone who suspects a colleague might actually be living in the lab. Empty protein bar wrappers, toothpaste left behind, the whole thing.
