The following program deals with stories and topics pulled from
current scientific research papers and as such occasionally use big words.
While listening, you may find yourself becoming smarter.
Thinking thoughts about scientific subjects you hadn’t considered before…
Getting super judge-y when correlations are mistaken for causations…
Referencing studies in casual conversation instead of saying “beats me” or “I guess, but what do I know”

One, your increase in knowledge will not cause an actual volume of brain size, so… you don’t have to lose sleep worrying about that…
Two, getting smarter doesn’t mean you have to forget things you already learned, but it might update or correct some things
Also, it’s best to get smarter with friends… that way you still have someone interesting to talk to and…
Maybe most importantly of all, being smarter will make you way more excited for another episode of
