Psst! Get your lab coats and safety goggles, and don\u2019t let Mike know where you\u2019re going, because Meredith and Ann are stepping into the LRB lab to bring you a clip show all about TBTL and science. First, we talk about how we became scientists, what exactly we do for our jobs (because let\u2019s face it, it\u2019s kind of complicated and everybody\u2019s too scared to ask), and what kind of challenges we face as women in science. Then we delve into some clips of our TBTL friendos dipping their toes into the world of studies, sample sizes, and experimental design. Jen and Luke can\u2019t believe the things Canadians want to study, but we think they\u2019re kinda missing the point. A crazy British scientist says we don\u2019t need to bathe; Ann thinks you should never maintain the same hygiene level as The Mummy. Luke and Andrew are at odds over the restorative power of a nature walk. And a man with an unfortunate medical condition leads Meredith to ponder \u201call the things we do to allow men with no boners to have boners.\u201d
