What Twitter is saying:

• Thanks for the podcast love, @dopelabspodcast! You’re doing such an amazing job of inspiring your listeners to love science. Keep it up, ladies! #MichelleObamaPodcast - @MichelleObama

• We had an insightful piece about this by @zsaidso & Titilayo Shodiya who run the @dopelabspodcast on @sciam. Thanks for asking and for flagging me!  scientificamerican.com/article/why-so… - @laurahelmuth (EIC of Scientific American)

• When you’re listening to a podcast, there is a lot happening in your brain—@Dr_TSho and @zsaidso, co-hosts of @dopelabspodcast on @Spotify, are here to explain exactly what’s going on, depending on what type of podcast you’re listening to. ghkp.us/Tgo7GIy - @goodhousemag

• School is back in session for 'Dope Labs' thr.cm/xj9PVyo - @THR

What they’re saying:

• Now, the pair co-host the podcast “Dope Labs,” a show that scrutinizes pop culture and current events through a scientific and sociological lens. Shodiya and Whatley tell Changing America that their goal is to show listeners that science is at the root of everything and can easily translate into topics that people are already keen on talking about — from Simone Biles to Marvel Comics and popular television shows.” - Austa Clausen, The Hill

• “They contextualize the millennial experience by tracing the generational roots of burnout culture; understanding the physical and biological realities behind the common feeling of “hitting a wall,” is hugely comforting. It helps knowing that you’re not alone in feeling like you’re buried under the “life avalanche” of frightening political realities, a global pandemic, and serious social injustices, and Dope Labs hosts a discussion to reassure us all.” - Jose Nateras, A.V. Club

• “Hosted by best friends Dr. Titi Shodiya and Dr. Zakiya Whatley, who “blend scientific principles with a dose of pop culture.” With planet earth suffering from a global pandemic, Dope Labs couldn’t be more needed in making science make sense.” - Cori Murray, Essence

• “No other podcast has made me feel like maybe I understand even a tiny bit what’s happening in 2020 more than Dope Labs. In the third season of this excellent science show, hosts Zakiya Whatley and Titi Shodiya have unravelled the root causes of phenomena that many of us have gotten to know a lot better in the past few months, from the loneliness of social distancing to the dark art of political persuasion.” - Caroline Crampton, Bello Collective
