    #9 — Do NOT Eat This: Ranking Lab Reagents (Hypothetical) Tastiness

    In this episode, we play a completely hypothetical and extremely bad game: ranking lab reagents by how tasty they look. No, we don’t eat anything. Yes, we do question our life choices. From suspiciously colorful solutions to reagents that look way too drinkable for their own good, we debate vibes, aesthetics, and why lab safety training exists. A reminder that science is fun and that you should never trust your eyes in a lab.

    #8 — From Nobel to Ig Nobel: The Weirdest Science That Actually Won a Prize

    We are back from holiday break! And in this episode, we dive into the Ig Nobel Prizes: the awards that celebrate research that first makes you laugh, and then makes you think. From bizarre experiments to surprisingly insightful studies, we play a game where we guess the Ig Nobel prize winners and discuss why “weird science” still matters. Proof that curiosity doesn’t always look serious and that science can be funny and brilliant.

And is that Black Mirror episode plausible? Join us as we fact-check Hollywood, argue about chemistry accuracy, and spiral into way-too-nerdy tangents. TV science… we’re coming for you.
