The Mad Scientist: Brigitte Boisselier

About this episode

The episode explores the life of Brigitte Boisselier, a woman who transitioned from a chemistry career in France to becoming involved in a cult and cloning humans.

What has two PhDs, a huge smile, and an unshakeable belief in aliens? Brigitte Boisselier, who gave up a rather normal life in France to become the second-in-command to a cult leader, and who rose to infamy when she announced to the world that she was awfully busy cloning humans. How does a woman go from studying chemistry to supporting a sex-obsessed alien addict? And what does she give up when she climbs that particular not-so-corporate ladder?
