Neurscience of Empathy, Part 2

Wednesday Mar 30, 2022

Wednesday Mar 30, 2022

If you haven't listened to last months' Part 1 we highly suggest you do that first.
In Part 2, Laine dives deeper into how empathy and stress go hand in hand, why we should care about empathy at all, and what we can do to better ourselves and the world by being more kind to others. The way empathy is connected to so many areas of our lives like language, epigenetics, drugs & alcohol use, or even political leanings is almost shocking, we couldn't dare cut this episode short. 

Neuroscience of Empathy, Part 1

Wednesday Feb 23, 2022

Wednesday Feb 23, 2022

In an unexpected but well-deserved two-part series, Laine introduces us to the first deep-dive discussion topic of the season: empathy. Humans today are born with empathetic tendencies, but just like any other trait, it had to start somewhere. While empathy may only seem like a caveat to "being kind," this trait just might be the key to our survival.
 
Stay tuned for Part 2, launching March 2022.

The Mappings of Our Brains

Wednesday Jan 26, 2022

Wednesday Jan 26, 2022

In our pilot episode, Laine maps out our brains like Google Earth so we can get a better sense of all the workings and systems, learn how those systems work together like family relationships, and discuss what humans are capable of if we could just master our mindset.
