In this week’s episode, we’re confronting the medical experiments carried out at Auschwitz. These experiments are now recognised as some of the most extreme violations of medical ethics in history. Their legacy still shapes how we think about research ethics, consent, and trust in medical institutions today. As we explore this history, we’ll approach it with as much care and respect as possible, focusing on what was done, who it was done to, and how it reshaped the rules that govern science.If you’d like some more information on the details discussed, we’ve left some links below:https://www.bmj.com/content/313/7070/1448.fullhttps://nuremberg.law.harvard.edu/https://scholarship.law.bu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=4515&context=faculty_scholarshiphttps://muse.jhu.edu/article/25973/summaryTHIS EPISODE IS SPONSORED BY JENNI! check them out here https://jenni.ai/?utm_source=soculturedpodcast and don't forget to use the code 'SCP20' for 20% off! 🫖 Of course, we’re back with a listener story for our laboraTEAAAAA.

👶🏼🐵 Welcome to Season 7 of TWISTED! This time, we’re diving head-first into the dark side of science — the unsettling experiments, the ethical lines blurred (or totally ignored), and the historical moments that make you think, “Wait… someone actually approved this?” ⚠️ WARNING: things are about to get uncomfortable. We’ll be tackling some disturbing and ethically questionable stories, but always through thoughtful, scientific discussion. And today we’re starting with one of the strangest cases in psychological research: the ape and child experiment — yes, the study where a chimpanzee was raised side-by-side with a human child as if they were siblings. It’s as wild as it sounds. 🫖 And for our brand-new laboraTEAAA segment this season, you guys are in control. You send in the questions — absolutely anything — and we’ll give you our brutally honest answers. No filter. No sugar coating. And let’s just say… one of this week’s questions involves someone getting a little too intimate with the histology paraffin wax. Yeah… It’s that kind of episode.🗒️ SHARE YOUR LABORATEA TO BE FEATURED ON THE SHOW : https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSftEuu6Xu6VWxurDzr6sKStnYCf4v5UrF47K7SH_rxUzlbFYw/viewform or email us at [email protected] 🩷 Please don’t forget to share your thoughts in the comments, like, and subscribe!

⚡ Welcome to EP8 of OVERLOOKED! Today we’re exploring the story of one of the most legendary scientists in history… and yet, someone who still had to fight to be recognised: Marie Curie.The year is 1898. In a cramped Paris laboratory, Marie and her husband Pierre discover two new elements: polonium and radium. These glowing substances would open the door to the age of radioactivity, transforming medicine and physics forever. But the discoveries came at a cost. Years of exposure slowly poisoned Marie, and despite winning two Nobel Prizes in different sciences (QUEEN), she was denied a seat at the French Academy of Sciences, SIMPLY because she was a woman.🪄 Without Marie Curie, we wouldn’t have X-rays in hospitals, cancer radiotherapy, or even our modern understanding of radioactivity. S🫨 And for this week’s LaboraTEAAAA… someone wrote in about their lab mate STEALING their slides from their computer and presenting them at a conference. The AUDACITY… We have thoughts.🗒️ Got your own LaboraTEA to spill?

🧠 welcome to EP SIX of OVERLOOKED, wellllll today we’re exploring the story of one of the most brilliant, yet often forgotten, neuroscientists of our time… Brenda Milner.The year is 1953. A young patient, known only as H.M., undergoes brain surgery to cure his severe epilepsy. The procedure stops his seizures, but leaves him unable to form new memories. Enter Brenda Milner, who, through years of careful observation and experiments, makes a groundbreaking discovery: memory isn’t just one thing. There are multiple systems in the brain, and H.M.’s story would forever change how we understand learning, memory, and the human mind.🪄 Without Brenda Milner, we might never have known that short-term and long-term memory rely on different brain regions. Her work opened the door to modern neuroscience and showed us how fragile and fascinating our memory really is.🫨 And for this week’s LaboraTEAAAA… we're doing another WWYD if?! You guys submitted some funny ones this time round, and some that got us questioning if they were based on your own real life scenarios.🗒️ Got your own LaboraTEA to spill?

☢️It’s Episode 4 of OVERLOOKED, and we’re diving into one of the eeriest, most haunting stories in the history of science...The Radium Girls. The year is 1917, and across America, hundreds of young women are hired to paint glow-in-the-dark watch dials. They’re told it’s safe… even good for them. They twirl the brushes between their lips to get a perfect point, unknowingly swallowing small doses of radium every single day. 🪄At first, the glow is MAGICAL?! their clothes sparkle in the dark, their skin shimmers after a shift. But soon, strange and terrifying symptoms begin to appear. Teeth falling out. Bones aching. Jaws literally crumbling away. What followed was a fight for justice that would change workplace safety laws forever, and expose a cover-up that corporations hoped would never see the light of day.🫨And for this week’s LaboraTEAAAA… you are NOT ready. We got an email from a listener who thinks they’ve been catfished on Tinder… by their own PI. Yes, you read that right. They matched online, the profile photos were showing up elsewhere, and then an inside joke.... Absolutely WILD. Honestly, this might be one of the most chaotic, unbelievable stories we’ve ever had on the podcast. From glowing dials to glowing red flags, this episode has it all.🗒️Have your own LaboraTEA to share?

💉 #sciencepodcast #stempodcast #womeninstemWelcome to Episode 2 of OVERLOOKED! This series is all about diving into the forgotten side of his-tory , the women in STEM who made massive contributions but didn’t get the credit they deserved! 🥲This week, we’re talking about one of the most iconic scientists of the 20th century: Rosalind Franklin!! 🧬 You’ve probably heard her name in passing, maybe in the context of DNA ...BUT do you actually know the full story? Rosalind Franklin was the woman behind the X-ray image that helped crack the structure of DNA… but while Watson and Crick got the Nobel, she got left out. Her work was essential, her story is wild, and the way she was treated? Let’s just say we’ve got OPINIONS...😳 And of course, it wouldn’t be an episode without some fresh laboraTEAAAA. This week, we’ve got a listener who’s feeling like they might be too dumb for their degree. They’re doing bioinformatics but struggling with maths and chem, and to make it worse, their friends are laughing at them for it?! Let’s talk about imposter syndrome and why the problem isn’t you, it’s the system.🗒️Have your own LaboraTEA to share?

Hey So Cultured fammm! IT’S THE LAST EPISODE OF THE SERIES…CRY!!!!! In this final week we are exposing a less known Sci Fi film (imo anyway)… GATTACA! Now I’m gonna go ahead and say that this is probably the most scientifically accurate film as it dives into the world of genetically edited babies and a dystopian future where your class depends on whether you’re ‘In utero’ or ‘In vitro’. Is it realistic? Is the science accurate? Could we be looking at genetically modified humans in the future? Based on our research… it’s already happened! Listen in to find out.Not only that but we are back with the listener favourite,LaboraTEA time. As you may well know, we always do something a little bit different in the final ep of the series. This week we are guessing eachothers PhD projects based on the title alone. So, if you want to join us in trying to guess what eachothers PhDs involved, then listen till the end!  Have your own LaboraTEA to share for next season?
