Scientists have mapped the human genome, explored the wonders of the universe and developed the perfect chocolate chip cookie.  But all those late nights alone in the lab can have strange effects on the mind.  Or maybe that’s just the LSD.  This week we discuss mind-altering experiments, reanimated farm animals, petri dish musicians and a serious lack of respect for radiation.  Mad scientists combine the dangers of the human mind with a total disregard for life, nature and the gods themselves.

Enjoy!
