Hello and welcome to another episode of Lexx Education! This week ron is off galavanting so it's some solo intros and outros from a soothing sounding Laura who is actually very stressed at the moment but covering it up well for podcasting purposes. We’re doing lipids, and we’re no nonsense straight into the hog. You want science? We'll give you science. Science til your sick of it. In terms of the nonsense, there's a lot of that too... Laura hates Fatboy Slim, and remembers her rad 90’s CD days. When we get back to the science we focus in on triglycerides, and the constituent molecules and functional groups in them.  We then zoom forwards to look at electronegativity. We hope you've had a chocolate and/or religion filled weekend and that you enjoyed the eggathon!

With a touch of her signature humour, Laura dives into the world of lipids, exploring what they are, their physical properties, and their importance in our bodies. As she juggles her busy life and a persistent headache, Laura manages to squeeze in some personal anecdotes about her Easter plans – or lack thereof – and her newfound hydration habits. With Ron absent, she channels a ‘Ron energy’ that brings a delightful twist to the discussion. Get ready for a rollercoaster ride through triglycerides and phospholipids as Laura attempts to explain their structures and functions. Expect some tangents, including a nostalgic chat about Fatboy Slim and a few laughs about their past musical preferences. Throughout the episode, Laura introduces the concept of functional groups, particularly focusing on esters and carboxylic acids, and how they relate to the lipids being discussed. She also touches on electronegativity and periodicity, making connections that are both educational and entertaining. Join us for this enlightening episode filled with laughs, learning, and a sprinkle of chaos as Laura navigates through the complexities of biology without her trusty sidekick, Ron.
