Two science enthusiasts discuss all things peculiar, perplexing, and #SickWidit in the fields of medicine, science and health. Lilah and Nicole - sole hosts, creators, editors, engineers, and producers of It's A Sickness Podcast - aim to broaden their fields of study through the delivery of riveting stories, sharing some complex mechanisms of STEM-related topics, and maintaining a balance of learning and laughing as they aim to create a space to empower those with similar backgrounds and interests and so that science and the everyday person can intermingle.
Start with a little Curiosity, add some Perseverance and… well, now we're here. The 2020 Perseverance Mission has been a hot topic since the rover landed just short of two-weeks ago on February 18th, 2021 reaching it's destination at the Jezero Crater on Mars. Join us as we cover details about Mars, the possibility of life there, and the details of 2021's most innovative space mission yet.

24. Mainstream Dating Culture
Don't swipe left on us, please! This may just help you learn about how you can catch a date, potentially… you see, there's an algorithm and… Listen up, 72% of millennials admit to using or having had used dating apps and one-third of all marriages in America now begin online. The popular platform for whatever-you-want dating - Tinder - hosts around 50 million worldwide online date seekers alone. It's pretty clear that dating apps don’t always work, in fact, its reported that less than 1 in 500 swipes leads to even just a phone number exchange (may the odds be ever in your favor, dude). So, if dating apps seem to seldom lead to anything tangible, why are they so popular and what is it that keeps us coming back to them?

23. It's A SHITness
Welcome back! You are listening to It's A SHITness Podcast. Yup, this weeks episode will teach you a thing or two about the “superbug” bacterial disease that causes severe diarrhea and colitis, in addition to the fairly new medical procedure used to treat it. Can your poop save a life? And if so, how many lives can 250g save? How many pounds is the average number two? Are Lilah and Nicole's recording session going to continue to fall in line with Symba's irritable bowels? More importantly, would diversifying our population benefit us in the same way that your microbiome thrives with diversity of bacteria? Find out in this weeks dose of shitness as we get into the shitty nitty gritty of it all.
Puns VERY much intended.
