• 8. The woman who discovered Radium + my lab mate STOLE my presentation

  ⚡ 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?

• 6. The woman who mapped memory + I HATE my research but I've got a year left....

  🧠 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?

• 4. The Radium Girls + I was CATFISHED by my PI on tinder?!

  ☢️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?
