    Benjamin Franklin: America's Original Mad Scientist

    Everybody knows Benjamin Franklin flew a kite in a thunderstorm...or at least they think they do. In this special Fourth of July solo episode, PJ dives into the fascinating (and often bizarre) scientific life of one of America's most influential Founding Fathers. Forget the sanitized history textbook version—this is the Benjamin Franklin who experimented with electricity, mapped the Gulf Stream, helped lay the groundwork for refrigeration, invented swim fins as a kid, redesigned fireplaces, wrote one of history's most infamous dating advice letters, and somehow found time to propose that science should solve the problem of smelly farts. Along the way, we'll separate fact from fiction, bust a few Franklin myths, explore the science behind his greatest discoveries, and discuss why his biggest contribution may not have been any one invention at all—but a relentless curiosity that helped shape modern scientific thinking. The truth behind the famous kite experimentWhy Franklin was technically wrong about electricity—but changed science anywayThe invention that inspired the modern lightning rodHow Franklin accidentally helped launch oceanography by mapping the Gulf StreamThe experiment that foreshadowed modern refrigerationThe Franklin Stove and the science of heat transferSwim fins, bifocals, flexible catheters, and other lesser-known inventionsFranklin's observations on lead poisoning decades before modern toxicologyThe mysterious Glass Armonica and why people thought it could drive you insaneHow Franklin became an international celebrity in France and helped secure American independence"Advice to a Friend on Choosing a Mistress" and Franklin's surprisingly modern views on aging and relationships"Fart Proudly" and the surprisingly real science behind why flatulence smellsWhy Benjamin Franklin may have invented the mindset of modern science more than any single inventionWhether you're a history buff, a science nerd, or just here for the fart jokes, this episode explores the remarkable life of a man who never stopped asking questions.

    Science is Cute Without The 'E' (Cut From The Budget)

    This week Lauren and PJ rage against the machine a little bit and get some things off their chests. The National Science Foundation board has been dismissed, years of cuts in research and arts have piled up and piled up and we're mad as hell and we're not gonna take it anymore! Tune in to find out why this is so bad and why PJ agrees with the president? (Oooo PJ learned clickbait!) #Science #STEM #NSF #NationalScienceFoundation #budgetcuts

    Artemis 2 Part III Or The 2026 Bellyflop Championship!

    Its celebration time here on Lauren and PJ Do Science! The Orion capsule has safely splashed down in the Pacific Ocean thus ending the Artemis II mission. PJ recaps the mission, some of the science done and looks towards the future and we even go into some interesting Lauren lore learning about her questionable taste in men and borderline obsession with Christopher Lee (rumor has it, his estate listened to this episode and filed a restraining order). We however desperately need your help on this episode! Both of our hosts wrote a song celebrating Artemis II and its up to you fine folks to tell us which one you liked better! So vote in the comments and the loser has to face a punishment on the next show. So listen up and be honest. They can take the criticism... which is only because they've funded many a vacation and a large boat for their respective therapists. Don't forget to like and subscribe while you're at it too! #space #NASA #artemis #artemis2 #orion #science #moon

    Artemis 2 Part II or "We're Going On A Trip In Our Favorite Rocket Ship"

    The Artemis II crew has officially blasted off on humanity’s first trip around the Moon in over 50 years—and we’re following every thruster burn, orbit tweak, and cosmic bathroom repair right along with them. Lauren and PJ break down how the launch went, what the astronauts are up to in space, and why this mission is such a huge step toward putting people back on the lunar surface. We also talk about the great Outlook-in-space fiasco (to quote a wise man "Out of order!? **** even in the future nothing works!), and of course… the tragic saga of Shower Guy, our stowaway who learned the hard way that showers in space aren't what he thinks. Check out the official NASA Artemis II mission tracker at nasa.gov — it’s the real-time feed showing the Orion spacecraft’s position, speed, and distance from Earth and the Moon. #ArtemisII #NASAMission #ToTheMoon #SpacePodcast #LaurenAndPJDoScience #OrionSpacecraft #ScienceComedy #SpaceExploration #ShowerGuyForever #ArtemisCrew #OutlookInSpace
