About this listen

 The Bone Lab was created as an outlet to share the stories that we love, with everybody else. We believe that bones have qualities that capture the imagination. Whether fossilized, x-rayed, displayed in a museum, or just helping us move around, bones have stories to tell.

    Episode 9 - Unmaintained History
    Feb 3 2020
    Colma, California is an odd place: the dead outnumber the living. This imbalance arose through massive cemetery relocations to free up space in nearby San Francisco. In this episode, we unearth obscure Bay Area history with volunteers who work to identify human remains inadvertently unearthed during SF home renovations. This is a story of death and devotion in a city in flux.

    Episode 8 - Phossy Jaw
    Nov 18 2019
    Early in the history of matchsticks, factory workers in London were plagued by a gruesome and debilitating illness: their jaw bones would glow green in the dark and eventually crumble apart. It was discovered that a chemical interaction was occurring between the combustible white phosphorus used in match heads, and the mineral comprising their own skeletons. This is a story about consumer convenience, occupational hazards, and some of the worst bosses in history.
