About Sciencetits

A podcast about science, by scientists, some of whom happen to have tits. Welcome to our podcast where we talk all things science. Hosted by Brenda and Frances with special guests, we look at science and well, stuff that calls itself science. We'll share our thoughts on the good, the bad and the just plain weird science being posted and tell each other about it. We aim to educate and make you laugh. We will also host "agony aunt" sessions - bring us your problems - science, career and we will put our heads together to offer advice! Hosted on Acast.

   S2-10 Death Becomes Tit

   What does it really mean when someone says they’ve “donated their body to science”? In this fascinating, thought-provoking, and occasionally darkly humorous episode, Dr. Brenda Finney and Dr. Frances Hall peel back the curtain on one of science’s most misunderstood gifts. Along the way, they begin with a detour into academic titles and sexism, before diving headfirst into the world of human cadavers, medical research, and ethics. The discussion explores the surprising ways donated bodies have been used to advance science from helping test military body armour, to training generations of doctors, to supporting forensic investigations that inspired the science behind crime shows. Brenda shares remarkable stories from the history of anatomy, body snatching, and the creation of the famous “Body Farm” research facility, while Frances brings her forensic anthropology background to the conversation, explaining how scientists learn from human remains and why TV crime dramas rarely get it right. The episode also tackles some of science’s most challenging ethical questions. The hosts discuss consent, respect for donors, modern regulation of human tissue research, and the famous story of Henrietta Lacks, whose cells transformed biomedical science without her knowledge or permission. Equal parts educational, thoughtful, and surprisingly funny, this episode examines the delicate balance between scientific progress and human dignity while reminding us that some of the greatest contributions to science are made after death. If you’ve ever wondered what happens when a body is donated to science, this conversation is guaranteed to change the way you think about it.

   S2-8 Tits Fashion Baby!

   This week on Sciencetits, we, Dr. Brenda Finney and Dr. Frances Hall gleefully abandon the lab coats (but not the curiosity) to explore a different kind of science altogether: the science of getting dressed without wanting to cry in a fitting room. And to guide us through the complex equations of style, confidence, and chest‑related mysteries, we welcome the brilliant and endlessly delightful Anna Berkeley. Anna isn’t just a stylist — she’s basically the Marie Curie of clothes, minus the radiation and plus some extremely chic trousers. With nearly 30 years in the fashion trenches, she’s worked with over 130 global brands, spent seven years buying designer denim at Selfridges, jet‑setted to fashion weeks around the world, and written for a lineup of publications so impressive it makes the rest of us feel like we’ve wasted our lives (The Times, The Telegraph, FT, Stella, Red, etc.). In 2023, she took all that expertise and distilled it into Think Shape, the groundbreaking app that helps women understand fit, proportion, and why that top you loved on the hanger makes you look like a disgruntled lampshade. In this episode, we rewind all the way back to Anna’s early days in fashion buying, where she discovered what women actually want from clothes (spoiler: things that fit) and how working behind the glamorous storefronts, with other stylists and hundreds of women gave her a PhD‑level understanding of body shapes and how to help us find our style. Then we dive into the big question: Why did the world need Think Shape? Anna talks about the experiences that sparked the app, the recurring frustrations she saw in women’s shopping experiences, and the realisation that figuring out your proportions shouldn’t require a protractor, an anthropology degree, and three glasses of wine. We also get into the hot topic of the moment: how modern fashion often ignores the glorious diversity of women’s chests. (Don’t worry, it’s all aboveboard and scientifically phrased.) Anna breaks down how her Body Map process finally gives women vocabulary — and solutions — for understanding their upper‑half architecture. Necklines, structure, balance… it’s basically the TED Talk you didn’t know you needed. From there, we explore what it was like for Anna to transform her stylist superpowers into software. She shares the weirdest challenges of making an app that feels personal, not judgemental, and how she managed to keep Think Shape empowering instead of becoming yet another digital gremlin whispering, “Have you tried being smaller?” Finally, Anna reflects on the unexpected joys (and shocks) of becoming a tech founder, plus the early user feedback that shaped Think Shape into the game‑changing tool it is today. It’s funny, it’s warm, it’s surprisingly educational, and it might just change the way you get dressed tomorrow morning.
