BA in Science

Would you invite a lizard to tea? Or invite a toddler to be chummy with a giant venomous reptile? Our BA today would! Maggie and Brynna explore the world of reptiles and talk about a BA who just couldn't have a nice, normal pet.

Maggie and Brynna are back for Season 4 and they're starting off with a bang! Our BA this week had scandalous parents, fascinating friends, and a brilliant mind. Oh and did we mention she knew a thing or two about computers?

Maggie and Brynna wrap up season 3 with the second half of their Hidden Figures Extravaganza. Space hasn't always been for tourists, and the women of the West Computing Area knew all about how difficult putting a man on the moon really was.

It's time for Part 1 of the Season 3 Finale! Maggie and Brynna are taking on three BAs this week and next who changed the face of math, science, and the Space Race.

Cover your butts, y'all! This is a long one, but how could we NOT spend a lot of time talking about a BA who really did know probably everything there was to know about paleontology, parasitology, microscopy, anatomy, and more?

This week, Maggie and Brynna get into an inventor. Inventors are hard because they do a lot of stuff but aren't always good at writing it down. Find out what our BA invented that made him somewhat infamous at the time, and certainly famous now.

It's time for another BS episode! As is becoming a theme with our BA episodes, this one is a little twisty. Maggie and Brynna get into the strange and spooky details of the life and science of a guy who has a reputation as a mad scientist, but maybe that's just BS.

It's time for a brawl! In this GIANT episode, Maggie and Brynna take on one of the best-known feuds in all of science. This "electrifying" tale of two (or maybe three!) brilliant men didn't go the direction we expected, but the journey was fascinating.

We've got math this week! Maggie and Brynna talk about a guy who made some aggressively bad choices in his life, but still managed to be a ground-breaker in terms of the legacy he left to math.

Ok this episode is super long. We did our very best to keep it reasonable, but our BA this week just cannot be contained in under 2 hours, thanks to the INSANE amount of info out there. We blame our BA for writing her own autobiography. This BA did enough for 10 lifetimes, and she wrote about all of it. It was fascinating and overwhelming. Enjoy!

We're back! It's Season 3 and we've got some WILD BAs to tell you about. Our first guy had a horse given to him by the devil and a sword with laudanum in the pommel. Oh and he was a really excellent doctor, too.

Maggie and Brynna take on a VERY well known BA this week, who fought the Roman Church and the Church won.
