Show Notes
The show opens with The Science Appliance with science communicator Dr. Dan Riskin. Dan shares the mathematical wonders of 2025, how to be more believable, and how pooping can make you smarter and faster. (Sign up for Dan's newsletter here.) Then, it's Therapy Thursdays on a Wednesday (on a Thursday) with therapist Gary Direnfeld. Despite David's many tangents, Gary and David tackle the topic of navigating stressful life events. Professor Ronnie Shachar shares insights into how storytelling may be the key to a meaningful life. Finally, social psychologist from VU Amsterdam Leonard Peperkoorn discusses how and why wearing the colour red once gave better results in sports, and how that's now no longer the case. See you on Monday!
