Episode 13 - The Secret of NIMH | Are We the Baddies?

It's back to the world of animation, as we cover 1982's 'The Secret of NIMH,' about cognitively-enhanced lab rats that escaped from the research facilities of the National Institutes of Mental Health. Some uncomfortable questions about animal research ethics lead Nick and Stephen to have The Talk and have what might be the closest thing to an actual serious moral discussion in the show's history. 

What is the scientific basis for enhanced intelligence? How many prominent all-women's liberal arts colleges can Stephen name? Why is Nick banned from Oxford University?  These questions and more on this episode of Neurratives!
