People cry when they are sad – so why do they also cry when they are happy? This episode begins with the explanation for why two opposite emotions can have the same symptom. And what happy occasion actually causes people to cry the most “tears of joy.” (BTW, it’s not weddings). https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2014/11/141111124047.htm
Did you know that flavor and taste are not the same thing? In fact, your sense of taste is much more complicated than you imagined and really involves all your senses. Plus, haven’t you wondered why you like some foods that other people hate? Why is that? Joining me to unravel all of this is Camilla Arndal Andersen. She is a food scientist in Denmark who studies people’s sense of taste and she joins me to explain that fascinating, complicated and very subjective sense of taste you have. Camilla also has a TED talk on the subject which you can watch here: https://www.ted.com/talks/camilla_arndal_andersen_what_happens_in_your_brain_when_you_taste_food?language=en
What makes you angry? And when you do get angry, what do you do with that anger? Could you maybe handle it better? Listen as I explore these questions with Ryan Martin. He is a professor of psychology and associate dean at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay and has studied anger extensively. He also has a TED talk about it called The Upside of Anger (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfcQaXG_Qhs). Listen and I am sure you will have a better understanding of your own anger.
Children skip. You probably know how but grownups seldom skip. Listen as I explain why maybe you should try it again – even if you look a bit foolish. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-3895968/Why-adults-stop-skipping-s-hard-Activity-uses-quarter-energy-running-speed.html
