Show Notes
It’s easy to think that every major scientific breakthrough in history was met with acceptance and enthusiastic fanfare, but that is not the case. Many modern scientific truths were discovered by researchers who were punished for their ideas at the time. To discuss this topic, Dr. Samantha Yammine is joined by Matt Kaplan, author of the book I Told You So: Scientists Who Are Ridiculed, Exiled, and Imprisoned For Being Right.
Then, Sam takes a look into a new study that may have cracked the code on why women are more likely to experience symptoms of IBS. And, just in time for Valentine’s Day, she also explores the history and anthropology of kissing.
