Social Biology: Recent Episodes
Jeremy

Hello everyone!
Today we started off mid conversation after Morgan had played Among Us for the first time before we actually get into the meat of the episode. Also, I mentioned the Thyroid Gland a few times, when I was actually talking about the Thymus. Totally my fault.
Again, we're not doctors, any medical advice we give is useless compared to an actual physician's recommendations.
Enjoy!
Hello everyone!
We take a small break from Biology topics and Morgan takes the reins on something he's passionately invested in. Some small audio issues occur near the end, so we really start hitting those P's and D's, fair warning.

Enjoy!
We start off by talking about your classic American high school Biology class.
In the future, we'll have more of our act together. Maybe.
