An amazingly awesome show about science and music! Lauren has a doctorate and PJ is the musician. She's going to teach him different subjects and he's going to try to write a song about that subject. Join us for some learning, laughs, and a bit of mayhem.

Pop quiz, hotshot! How much science do you actually know?
This week on Lauren & PJ Do Science, we kick things off with Lauren's ongoing plumbing adventures, PJ's experience riding in a Waymo, and a discussion about why America could really use more rail transportation.
Then it's time for the main event.
Lauren puts PJ in the hot seat with a science pop quiz, covering a wide range of scientific topics to see just how much he remembers from years of hosting a science podcast. Some answers come easily. Others... not so much.
Play along as you listen, keep score if you're brave enough, and let us know your results in the comments!

Big Blue Holes: The Life Aquatic with Dr. Lauren
If I asked you what a Big Blue Hole was, and you responded with anything involving "Smurfs," you'd be wrong.
In this episode of Lauren & PJ Do Science, Lauren takes us aboard a research expedition to explore mysterious underwater sinkholes known as blue holes. These deep ocean formations hold clues about marine ecosystems, ocean chemistry, and life beneath the waves.
Along the way, we talk about field research, collecting samples at sea, what scientists are searching for in these underwater environments, and why these giant holes are far more fascinating than their name suggests.
Meanwhile, PJ focuses on the truly important scientific questions:
Lauren's choice in men?
And are we going to need a bigger boat?
Join us for an ocean adventure filled with science, stories from the field, and the occasional Jaws reference.

Algae 2: Its Not That Easy Being Green
Last week algae cost taxpayers millions of dollars.
This week we're defending its honor.
Join us as we answer one of the weirdest science questions we've tackled so far: is algae actually a plant?
That simple question somehow sends us down a rabbit hole involving ancient bacteria, photosynthesis, Earth's first mass extinction, Snowball Earth, mitochondria, Mega Man, scuba diving in a lake that looked like pea soup, and why algae might be one of the most important living things on the planet.
We also spend a completely reasonable amount of time talking about Tim Curry, Dolly Parton, Peter Cullen, Transformers, Rocky Horror, Clue, and why this week felt especially rough if you grew up in the 80s and 90s.
You know. Science.
Come for the pop culture. Stay for the science.
