The Synapz Series
Synapz explores the fascinating intersections between science, psychology, art, and human behavior.
Each episode begins with a simple question - why do we think, feel, or act the way we do? - and unpacks it through research, real-life stories, and a touch of humor because I believe learning should always be fun!
From neuroscience and cognitive psychology to creativity, culture, and everyday behavior, Synapz connects the dots between how the mind works and how we experience the world. If you’re curious, thoughtful, and love learning in a fun, meaningful way, this podcast is for you.
