About this episode

👶🏼🐵 Welcome to Season 7 of TWISTED! This time, we’re diving head-first into the dark side of science — the unsettling experiments, the ethical lines blurred (or totally ignored), and the historical moments that make you think, “Wait… someone actually approved this?”

 

⚠️ WARNING: things are about to get uncomfortable. We’ll be tackling some disturbing and ethically questionable stories, but always through thoughtful, scientific discussion. And today we’re starting with one of the strangest cases in psychological research: the ape and child experiment — yes, the study where a chimpanzee was raised side-by-side with a human child as if they were siblings. It’s as wild as it sounds.

 

🫖 And for our brand-new laboraTEAAA segment this season, you guys are in control. You send in the questions — absolutely anything — and we’ll give you our brutally honest answers. No filter. No sugar coating. And let’s just say… one of this week’s questions involves someone getting a little too intimate with the histology paraffin wax. Yeah… It’s that kind of episode.
