Episode notes

pretty much any living creature has traces of forever chemicals are we finding that's true even if they don't even have a cerebellum yes. It's able to get to the brain it's able to be in the serum it binds to a protein that's in your blood there's over 9 000 of them and i'm only studying one of them. They've been associated with all sorts of cancers with thyroid disease with autism spectrum disorder ADHD so a lot of organs are affected. Also shown to weaken our immune system but there're over 9,000 of them and we can't study every single one of them where does this leave us?

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.
