We’re revisiting one of our most personal labs.

In this episode, we sit down with Ronald Young Jr., host of Wait For It, to unpack the complicated relationship many of us have with our bodies — and the ways we postpone our lives while we’re “waiting.”

Waiting to lose weight.
Waiting to look different.
Waiting to feel worthy.

We talk about how weight gets moralized, and how identity layers influence body image in ways we don’t always name.

And most importantly: what it means to stop waiting.

If you’ve ever thought, “I’ll start living when…,” this one’s for you.

Dope Labs is where science meets pop culture. Because science is in everything and it’s for everybody.

Valentine’s Day used to be about cuffing season, double texting rules, and who’s paying for dinner. But the love landscape has shifted and it’s not just humans in the mix anymore.

People are forming emotional and romantic relationships with AI chatbots. So what’s actually happening here?

This week in the lab, Titi and Zakiya talk with Arelí Rocha about her work studying intimate relationships between humans and AI companions. Explore how language makes something feel alive, how online communities shape relationships, and whether AI is replacing human connection or just changing how we understand it.
