Let Me Into The Lab: Recent Episodes
Let me into the Lab
“Let me into the Lab” is a weekly podcast made by three undergraduate students from a university in Queensland. Each week we discuss three things in science that have got us thinking: from recent discoveries to age old questions. Join us for a fun, relaxed conversation about “life, the universe and everything”.
In Episode 8 of Let Me Into The Lab we discuss how salmonella is being used for cancer treatments, the lizard that isn't a lizard, and why some aviation researchers decided to put goggles on a parrot.
This week on Let Me Into The Lab it's our parasite special. Join us to hear all about the fungi that can take over insects' minds, the organism that can take up residence in snails' eyes and the gruesome habits of the dog heartworm.
