Episode 019: Lazarus Syndrome / Cerebral Organoids

In this episode, Nick explores Lazarus Syndrome, a rare occurrence where people who are declared dead suddenly and mysteriously wake up hours later, sometimes just minutes away from being embalmed. The dead are rising, but this isn't a zombie movie, it's real life! Then, Dave introduces us to cerebral organoids, lab-grown living human brain cells in petri dishes. These mini-brains are capable of learning, including how to play video games, and now some want to turn them into organic supercomputers.Merch: https://www.teepublic.com/user/spooky-science-labHosted by Nicholas Kaufmann and David WellingtonEdited by David WellingtonAdditional voices by Jennifer Dikes and Alexa AntopolLogo by Errick NunnallyTheme song "Phantom Fun" by Jonathan BoyleConnect with us on social media at Facebook, Bluesky, and Instagram, or email us at [email protected]!
