In this week's episode Austin and Ulysses discuss the ICONIQUE Henrietta Lacks and the ethics around tissue collection in medical science. For the DEFENCE, we chat about how monkeypox is not an STI and go over the history of the virus. We round out the episode with SCIENTIFIC NOMENCLATURE by diagnosing medicinal inspired drag names, QUEER RANTING about sex education, and lastly discussing the submitted QUEERY asking for tips about entering an undergraduate degree!

We want to acknowledge that we are researching, recording, and editing this podcast on the traditional territories of the people of the Treaty 7 region in Southern Alberta, which includes the Blackfoot Confederacy (comprising the Siksika, Piikani, and Kainai First Nations), as well as the Tsuut’ina First Nation, and the Stoney Nakoda (including the Chiniki, Bearspaw, and Wesley First Nations). The city of Calgary is also home to Métis Nation of Alberta, Region 3.
As biologists, we rely on knowledge pertaining to the land to understand energy flow - Indigenous folks have realized this long before modern biology. It is therefore critical to acknowledge the traditional knowledge, methods, and caretaking of Indigenous peoples towards the land. We encourage the support and exchange of resources designed to help reduce systemic inequities in academia and society in general. One community pillar we would like to highlight is Inclusive Canada - send them some love / money if you can !
