This week we’re wrapping up Semester 5 in the lab.

Over the past year we’ve explored everything from bird flu and the microbiome to AI, addiction, air quality, and the psychology of Black Friday. We’ve talked about how systems—technological, biological, economic, and cultural—shape the way we live.

In this episode, Titi & Zakiya look back at some of the labs that surprised them the most and talk about the science stories they’re still watching right now. From AI governance to human behavior, the questions keep evolving.

The semester may be ending, but curiosity never stops!

You’ve seen the headlines — Gen Z can’t read, attention spans are shot, we’re all getting dumber. But is any of that actually true? This week, Titi and Zakiya slow down and actually look at the research behind the literacy panic. From international assessments to the Nation’s Report Card, they break down what the data really says, why the drops we’re seeing aren’t just a “kids these days” problem, and what gets lost when we conflate reading scores with intelligence.

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.
