Show Notes
Willpower isn’t the only thing dictating what you eat. Neuroscientist Rachel Herz says the color, shape, and presentation of food has a major impact on our diet.
Then, there’s not as much evidence-based decision-making in medicine as you might expect. We take a look at why.
Finally, we talk with physics professor Robbert Dijkgraaf about why funding basic scientific research can yield powerful results down the road.
