Lab Meeting 15: Treat Your PhD Like A Mogwai

An leads with a totally unloaded question about therapy animals for the purpose of talking about Paddington Bear. We also have a crack at Australian Politics with the "Cabinet Files" and "Ferry McFerryface" incidents (apologies to Ian Kiernan). China clones a monkey and it sets us off down a little sci-fi hole, and yes, Ellery knows the difference between Michael bay and Christopher Nolan, sometimes he just chooses to ignore it.

If you have a solution to Ellery's hallway interaction nervousness send it in to our facebook page "Alumnotyet" or hit us up on twitter @Alumnotyet or @pelagicjohnson. Also, If you want us to talk about actual science you should probably give us a topic or come on the show...Bojan...(this invite is open to anyone actually, let us know if you want to speak about your science to your friends).

Lab Meeting 11: Christmas Actually

Two Australian PhD students attempt to feel productive on Friday afternoons. Join us as we discuss our lives, our science and our universe(ity).
