Welcome to OOTL, where we get people out of the lab and in front of the mic. Through interviews with the best and brightest in scientific academia, we find the answers to get us to where we really want to go.
Hi and welcome to OOTL, the show where we talk about giant rat genitalia sometimes. In this episode I spoke to the great Elisabeth Bik on how scientific figures are faked, how we can spot them, and how this all changes in the age of AI.
Keep up with Elisabeth!

The US vs Science: a One Year Perspective
Hi and welcome to out of the lab, the show where we think caring about politics is caring about science.
In my first solo episode, I chronicled the past year of changes to US science. While slightly overwhelming, I hope this episode can bring you, as it did for me researching it, some clarity on what the hell has been happening. Because a scientific population informed of the current context can only serve the public, and itself, better.

Why Western Students Aren't Studying in China
While many Chinese students study in the West, the same cannot be said for the other way around - but why? In this episode of OOTL , I speak to two of my friends, Susan and Thomas, who studied in China alongside me for two years. We attempt to shed light on the good, the bad, and the crazy parts of our experience.
