Episode notes

Is it true that alcohol anesthetizes the brain starting at the frontal lobe or was that something that they told us in I think it definitely. Do people ever try to make you do things because you're a neuroscientist like hey you figure out how the remote works you're the neuroscientist? If anybody I'd say my mom I think she I have made her proud in life and she you know things that I can handle a lot but that's not always the case especially with remotes oh.

I’m at the airport and there are hundreds of brain scientists everywhere. So I swallowed my dignity/anxiety and approached strangers about the neuroscience they do. The result is a bushel of info on cravings, sleep, consciousness, addiction, dopamine, monogamy, Ozempic, toxins in your brain and so much more with: Georgia Kirkpatrick, Isabella Montana, Dr. Marissa Co, Chancey Garrett, Noah Millman, Pique Choi, Dr. Barbara Sorg and Elizabeth Plunk. Oops, we just made a bunch of new friends. All thanks to poster tubes, a.k.a: nerdurdurs.
