We're back this week with a shiny new episode! This week we recap Dr. Lauren's adventures in the Gulf of Mexico as she attempts to study Big Blue Holes. Meanwhile, PJ is in Florida and is suffering from still thinking he's in his 20s. Listen now! tinyurl.com/BigBlueHoles

Feels like we all lost our grandma today. Love you Dolly ❤️

Taking a break from science to attention The Black Parade!! Kinda related but the romance chemicals are: dopamine, oxytocin, norepinephrine, vasopressin, serotonin, and testosterone or estrogen! #mcr #theblackparade #laurenandpjdoscience

Literally "I guess you guys aren't ready for that. But your kids are gonna love it."

About to start writing the next series of mini vids. Last topic was the Large Hadron Collider. What topic do you guys want to hear about next?

Fun fact: Parts of the Large Hadron Collider operate at about 1.9 Kelvin. Outer space averages about 2.7 Kelvin. Yep. The LHC is colder than space. Full episode available on your favorite podcast platform or on our website: laurenandpjdoscience.carrd.co

Ten episodes. One giant particle accelerator. Countless rabbit holes. The finale of our Large Hadron Collider series is live now. Start at Episode 1 or jump straight into the conspiracy theories in our final episode 🔗 laurenandpjdoscience.carrd.com #SciencePodcast #CERN #LHC

This. This is one of the best ways to get kids interested in science. Conversations. Awesome piece by NPR.

These guys followed us, and we're now following them. Their song "Lights Down" is legit. Seriously. If ya'll ever want to do a science song, we'll play it on the show <3 We support indie artists. We love a great new music discovery as much as we love a great new science discovery

New episode out now! The Large Hadron Collider is an incredible piece of science. Colder than space, more data than Netflix We break it all down in our latest episode available on your favorite platform or our website: laurenandpjdoscience.carrd.co #CERN #LHC #SciencePodcast @CERN

Thinking about Sam Neil today reminded me of a story. One time, my friend and I got so inspired by JP, we wanted to clone a dino. We took a chicken egg (grocery bought) added some skin from a dead frog, and waited. Then we got impatient and nuked the thing. It ended about as well as you'd imagine

We're still here! It's been very hectic buuuuut we have a new fun thing for y'all. Little serialized snippets of a subject! This first one is all about the CERN's Large Hadron Collider. Check it out! www.tiktok.com/t/ZTSnR7VcU/ Available on IG and YT as well (link in profile)

Internet drama day 2: On chat support with a tech for just over an hour. Mercury decided he wanted to sit on the laptop and somehow close my chat and get me back to the virtual assistant. Stats: Genus: Felis Species: Felis Aurea Daemon Domesticus Age: 8 months Brain cells: None

Sorry everyone this week episode is going to be delayed some. Having some issues with my ISP. Won't say their name but a doctor named Perry shares their name. But! More time for you to ask your question about algae and the Reflecting Pond craziness!

This week! We're going to be talking all about algae. Mainly about what happened and anyone who ever owned a pool isn't surprised. Comment with any questions you have about the weird green plumes and we'll try to answer them!

Today's #pride post is all about 80s punk legends Hüsker Dü. You may not have heard them but you've definitely heard their influence in bands like Nirvana, Green Day, The Offspring, The Pixies...the list goes on forver. They took American punk to new levels. youtu.be/eoKeH7JYE48?...

Fun fact: Baking is science for hungry people! So today for pride month, the amazing Cat Cora! Cat has owned several restaurants, won numerous awards and was featured on Iron Chef America, hosted Around The World in 80 Plates and has appeared on several other shows. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cat_Cora

Motherfucker can't even win a war against algae.

And I for one welcome our new insect overlords.

I read all 50 of @sciam.bsky.social's Icon interviews. @naomioreskes.bsky.social was my favorite. While nearly all others prattled on about science being "fine" or "outstanding" & told young scientists not to be discouraged, she was honest about our moment. www.scientificamerican.com/article/naom...

Today for pride month, I'd like to highlight one of my favorite indie bands, Boygenius. Julien Baker, Lucy Dacus, and Phoebe Bridgers formed the supergroup in 2018, have won multiple award, and are "celebrated as a pillar of modern queer visibility." youtu.be/bIX_ouNJsTs?...

It's post @vanswarpedtour.bsky.social recovery day! Speaking recovery, today's Pride Month highlight is Dr. Roy Rivera. Dr. Rivera has been working to make sports medicine and rehab more accessible and welcoming to the LGBTQ+ community! www.elationpt.com

Don't forget, our new episode is out! All the bands I've seen at warped today have listened to it. MXPX, Hot Mulligan, 3OH3!, and Newfound Glory! Okay they probably haven't but that would be rad if they did. Because the raddest people listen to the show. Be rad. laurenandpjdoscience.carrd.co

Almost forgot too with all the chaos, the newest episode of our show is here! Lauren has an upcoming adventure, more jellyfish talk, and the premier of my new song! laurenandpjdoscience.carrd.co Also if you're at @vanswarpedtour.bsky.social say hi for a crisp high five or hug!

Omw to @vanswarpedtour.bsky.social DC day 2! As I said yesterday, it's not just about the music but about charities so today I'm shouting out The Ally Coalition who uses music to uplight LGBTQ+ youths and advocate for equality! theallycoalition.org

It's Warped Tour Saturday in DC!! Aside from music, Warped Tour is about community and charity so for my pride month posting today, I'd like to shout-out @prideinstem.bsky.social They're an amazing charity and are working to echo our sentiment that science is for everyone! prideinstem.org

Today, as I arrive in Wash DC for Warped Tour, I'd like to pay tribute to the great George Michael. Icon. Legend. Part of WHAM! and an amazing solo career. He came out in 1998 and was an avid LGBTQ rights campaigner. Here's a duet with another gay icon: youtu.be/RsKqMNDoR4o?...

Today its all about Sarah Josephine Baker! In the early 20th century, 4500 people were dying every week in NYC from preventable diseases. Baker worked hard to educate the public on sanitation and disease prevention which helped improve mortality rates across the US. www.nlm.nih.gov/exhibition/c...

Today, we're going to take a trip down the "Old Town Road" and celebrate Lil' Nas X! He burst onto the scene in 2018 with "Old Town Road" holding down the top spot on the U.S. Billboard Top 100 chart for 19 weeks. I'd list his awards but I'd run out of characters :) www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7qo...

Episode is in the can and all ready to be released on Saturday (while I'm #WarpedTour in DC. So excited) Lauren talks about her upcoming adventures, I make a bad chromosome joke, and we continue our talk about jellyfish! Don't forget to catch up on part one wherever you get your podcasts from!

Right now! We're headed it on the LP Science Labs to record our second episode on Jellyfish for release on Saturday! Make sure to catch up on the first part here: open.spotify.com/episode/7cGe... Or wherever you get your podcasts. #jellyfish #STEM #science #podcast

So busy today, I almost forgot today's pride post! Today is all about Alan L. Hart. Hart pioneered using X-rays as part of tuberculosis detection and treatment and in 1917 was the first documented American to undergo gender affirming surgery! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_L....

Today for pride month, the great Rufus Wainwright! The son of Louden Wainwright III and Kate McGarrigle, he's made his own way in the world of pop music with 11 albums and 3 Grammy noms. You've most likely heard him singing Hallelujah in Shrek. www.youtube.com/watch?v=xCmc...

In May’s edition of Best Punk releases on Bandcamp, Sims Hardin highlights the sudden eruption of Eddy Current Suppression Ring, the effortless drive of Marbled Eye, the austere blitz of Answering Machines, and many other new and exciting rippers!

Today for pride month, we're celebrating Sally Ride! Not only was she the first female NASA astronaut to fly in space (1983 on STS-7), she was also the first known LGBTQ+ person to fly in space. Space flight was just the beginning for Ride as you can read below: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sally_R...

It's bringing them to whichever Loftlebees has the best dollar Margarita nights.

And they say science can't be punk rock. This is how it's done. Sometimes being a rebel is the right thing to do.

Today's post is going to be the "Least Complicated" and its going to make us all "Closer to Fine" because we're celebrating Amy Ray and Emily Saliers, The Indigo Girls! The queer icons formed in 1985, recorded 16 albums, and are currently touring! www.youtube.com/watch?v=1GHN... #pridemonth

I'm at a baseball game tonight! Baseball is a game of stats so why not celebrate 2021 LGBTQ+ scientist of the year, Joseph Romano! Romano is not only a renown statistician but also a member of the 500 Queer Scientists visibility campaign! news.stanford.edu/stories/2021... #pride #science #stem

We're not just about science but we're about music too! So today we're highlighting Judas Priest front man Rob Halford. The metal god has helped pave the way for LGBTQ+ artists and fans to be accepted in the heavy metal community. www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJ04...

Science is for everyone! The LGBTQ+ community has given us some of our greatest discoveries: Today, we'd like to highlight the father of theoretical computer science (and WW2 super MVP) Alan Turing. www.history.com/articles/ala... We wouldn't be here today if it weren't for him.

This kind of stuff is insane. Plants have some incredible self defense mechanisms.

Did you know that time may not exist? There's tons of research about time and how it's a man made construct rather real. Which means, Mondays may not actually exist! "The only reason for time is so that everything doesn't happen at once" -Buckaroo Banzai (shhh. Yes I know)
