Free Use Research Assistant
24:35
A very intelligent young research assistant, fresh out of grad school (the speaker) is working for a lab. She’s only been there a short time, trying to get her bearings as the professor (the listener) arrives complaining about his relationship with his wife. The assistant attempts to establish some good boundaries with her boss with assertive and well-reasoned arguments involving the challenge of women working in STEM fields. She then begins asking questions about a drug the lab has been developing, raising concerns that it could be grossly perverted into a new kind of date-rape or mind control drug. She covers the possible scenarios of its use with great detail, trying to convince the Professor that the lab shouldn’t be working on it anymore. Unfortunatley, what she’s describing is exactly what’s happening to her, in real time. She simply doesn’t realize it. The professor takes advantage of his brain-washed assistant in a number of perverted ways, even as she continues to talk about the worst case scenarios of the drugs potential misuse.
