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!

It’s that time of the week again… time to expose some sci fi science with your STEM besties + this week we’re delving into the film ‘INTERSTELLAR’. One of the best sci fi movies of ALL time (we think). Join us as we discuss what wormholes are + if they’re REAL, whether we could transport embryos to space and if we could survive falling into a black hole! There’s a lot to unpack so, let’s get into it!
And for todays LABORATEA, we are back with some super fun POLLS.. Tune in to hear more!
P.s we are super sad to say that next week is the FINAL episode of season 3, so tune into for our laboraTEA finale next week + to hear all the details about what’s coming in season 4 + what the theme might be! See you then + enjoy todays ep x

Episode 6 will take us beneath the waves… Today we will be exploring the scientific accuracies… and inaccuracies of The Meg. This episode dives deep into whether a megalodon could still be lurking in our ocean and how the film matches up to the science. Could we ever see the return of this extinct species?
This weeks laboratea sees the polls return! We’ve had such a positive response from the last set of polls, so we have brought them back. We asked our IG followers whether they have ever cheated in a class test, or whether they can switch off from work… tune in to find out more.

Welcome back besties!
This week we are exposing the science in an ABSOLUTE classic, Jurassic Park. If you’ve been living under a rock… or should I say fossil (that was really bad I know), then we delve into the film franchise and how these dinosaurs came to be. Is it realistic? Is the science accurate? Could we actually bring back dinosaurs or other species from extinction? Word on the street is that woolly mammoths might one day roam the earth. Listen in to find out.
Not only that but we are back with the listener favourite, LaboraTEA time. This week we hear from one of our listeners who has asked us for advice on a PI that might be pocketing grant money for himself… look we all know academia doesn’t pay well but its giving thief hunnies…

It’s our last episode of season 2!! We cannot believe it.
Today we are going to be talking about LOVE… No, it is not valentines day but Yaz has some interesting stories about her love life and she delves into what’s going on in the science behind this crazy emotion.
Dating and love can be difficult, you feel a strong desire for someone but maybe you aren’t sure about your feelings. Yaz discusses the reasons you may be feeling a certain way. We discuss hormones, studies of the brain and our own stories.
Then after all of this talk about love, we will be doing our LaboraTEA a little bit different. We will be hosting THE BIG FAT SO CULTURED PODCAST QUIZ….. If you’re an avid listener you will be used to some dumb comments or questions, so why not put it to the test? You will also get the chance to take part.
Let us know your scores in the question box on Spotify!

fitness advice is more confusing than it has ever been, but today liv is breaking down the actual science behind this topic. Specifically she’ll cover how our muscles ACTUALLY grow, if gene variants may influence whether that superset workout you saw on tiktok will even work for you, and if protein powder is a scam or actually beneficial?
YEH, there’s a lot to get into! Straight after, Yaz is reading ANOTHER listener story all about someone dealing with a case of a STINGY PI. upgrades are needed, and the so cultured girlies are here to tell you how to bag them!
