Hey! We're Salem (Raluca in the early episodes) and Mia, and we're a medical scientist and a historian who put their brains together to create this medical history podcast! We make content about anything we find interesting that is at the intersection between medicine/ medical science and history, with a queer and/ or social justice flair.

Paws, Pills and Progress: Animal Models in Research | LeechFest Ep 42

This month's episode focuses on the history of the use of animals in medical science. We start out with an overview of currently available study models, and a short discussion of why animal models remain irreplaceable at this point in time. Mia goes on into the history of animal use in research, with a special focus on the development of ethical considerations. Trigger warning here! There is some talk about animal torture. To round off the episode, we discuss some very exciting, rapidly developing technologies, specifically organoids (<3) and AI (</3). Enjoy!
