Science for the Culture Dr. Nyote, Dr. Devyn, Dr. Alicia

Season 2 is officially in the books! Thanks for rockin’ with us all season long! Did you miss any episodes? Be sure to catch up before Season 3! Follow us on Instagram @sciencefortheculture so you’ll be the first to know when our next season is starting!

The opioid crisis in the US claimed nearly 100,000 lives between 2018 and 2019. Following the recent passing of beloved rapper DMX, the hosts felt it necessary to discuss this topic in detail and shed light on the practices that have led to increased opioid overdose. If there was ever an episode that we feel everyone needs to hear, it’s THIS one!

Recyclable is the only plastic that I like! Did y’all know the triangle on the bottom of plastic containers doesn’t mean “recyclable”?! If you answered no, this episode is about to blow your mind! We'll put your recycling knowledge to the test and make a case as to why you need to ditch those 50-11 half drunk water bottles and opt for a reusable one instead.

If you’ve ever heard (or said) “You smell like outside!”, but couldn’t describe what outside smells like, this is the episode for you! Listen as your favorite melanated scientists uncover the components of outside smell and discuss why it’s so STANK!

Sit back, kick ya feet up and grab some popcorn—but make sure you ask for the GMO flava! With a disproportionally high amount of African-Americans believing that genetically modified organisms, or GMO’s are bad for you, we had to bust this cap quicker than a hot potato (yes, potatoes can be GMO’s too-I’m sure you’re catching onto the trend here!)

SEASON 2 IS HERE! And of course... we had to talk all about the ‘Rona vaccine (aka the Fauci Ouchie). Listen while the hosts unpack the science and controversy behind this vaccine. We're diving deep into mRNA, how it works, the ingredients used in both mRNA-based vaccines, and how your Fauci Ouchie was made available in record timing. We tryna be outside all 2021 and that's on Mary had a little lamb! (NOTE: This episode was recorded weeks in advance. Unfortunately, global and national COVID death estimates mentioned in this episode are now higher that initially reported and are no longer accurate).
