Psychology professor Amy Muise declares the unthinkable: that scheduling sex leads to increased desire and frequency of the act. Psychology researcher Dr. Ian Anderson reveals how many people overestimate their social media addiction. Child psychologist and faculty director at The Making Caring Common Project at Harvard Richard Weissbourd explains that children aren't born as 'good kids' or 'bad kids', but rather learn to be good. Kinesiology researcher Delaney Thibodeau shares the details of her study where AI was asked to generate male and female body images, and it returned biased results. (Check out Delaney's Gold Medal Girls Podcast here.) David is joined by Brian Stever, Jeremie Saunders, and Taylor MacGillivary – hosts of the podcast Sickboy – to discuss how to find humor in even the darkest stories. Wound repair researcher Dr. Jenna Cash describes how redheads face impaired wound healing, but that a new treatment might help. Health studies professor Treena Orchard defines what 'relationship anarchy' is, and why millennials and Gen Z are choosing it.
