New episode!! 🎉🎙️ A conversation with @aliboyle6 & @JoBMahr about the functions of memory. We may not immediately think of memory as an evolutionary puzzle. But in certain respects it is quite puzzling indeed. Listen: https://t.co/Bk6RPbf3NN...

It was long thought that domestication leads to reductions in brain size. As we understand dog brains better, the truth is proving more complicated—and more interesting. Just one of the topics discussed in our latest episode, w/ @LabHecht! Listen: https://t.co/9HM2GCHbZS...

New episode!! 🎙️🎉 A conversation w/ @LabHecht about the diversity and evolution of canine brains. We've lived with dogs for 15,000+ years, sculpting their brains and bodies along the way. What can we learn from their singular story? Listen: https://t.co/9HM2GCHbZS...

Many fear that AI companions will lead to social "deskilling," particularly in young people. But could we harness these bots for "upskilling" instead? Just one of the topics discussed in our latest episode, w/ Dr. Henry Shevlin (@dioscuri)! Listen:

I expect social AI to be one of the biggest ethical and political controversies of the next 5-10 years. In this podcast I tried to give a balanced overview of the pros, cons, implications, and uncertainties. Great fun recording this so thanks to Kensy for the discussion!

Bird brains aren't the same as mammal brains. They took their own twisty evolutionary path. So what can they teach us about brains in general? A lot, it turns out. Discussed in our latest episode, w/ Andrew Iwaniuk & Georg Striedter! Listen: https://t.co/5Bj0BpaTYZ...
