🧠 welcome the penultimate episode of season 4 of the @SoCulturedPodcast ! This season is all about discovering science through the lens of history, and in today’s episode we are delving into the origins of Consciousness!

❓What is consciousness? How did it evolve? Are animals conscious? Why haven’t we evolved to think logically like computers? Is AI conscious? Could we be living in a simulation? We’re exploring it all today! 🕶️

😳We are also bringing you a listener story telling us all about a ‘friend’ who stole her entire research idea for her third year project! How did this happen? What would we do? We discuss it all!

Hey So Cultured fammm! IT’S THE LAST EPISODE OF THE SERIES…CRY!!!!! In this final week we are exposing a less known Sci Fi film (imo anyway)… GATTACA! Now I’m gonna go ahead and say that this is probably the most scientifically accurate film as it dives into the world of genetically edited babies and a dystopian future where your class depends on whether you’re ‘In utero’ or ‘In vitro’. Is it realistic? Is the science accurate? Could we be looking at genetically modified humans in the future? Based on our research… it’s already happened! Listen in to find out.

Not only that but we are back with the listener favourite,LaboraTEA time. As you may well know, we always do something a little bit different in the final ep of the series. This week we are guessing eachothers PhD projects based on the title alone. So, if you want to join us in trying to guess what eachothers PhDs involved, then listen till the end!
