Gosh, so many things. And I do have to just give a tip of the hat to Evan Nestrak, who's the editor-in-chief of Behavioral Scientist. And he, over the years, has just built such a fantastic publication. And so he deserves so much credit for his vision. And it's been so fun to work alongside of him and see that come to life. I would say...

For me, one of the most fun topics that I got to explore, I'll actually take you back in time a little bit to about 10 years ago, actually, when I was dating in Washington, DC, and I was going on all these dates with men and was having this experience where the men that I was going on dates with were not asking me a single question the entire date. And at first I thought, is this me?

What's going on here? And eventually I became really curious about what was happening. And it led me to do a lot of reporting about if there were any type of kind of gender or sex differences in question asking, particularly in romantic contexts. And I ended up writing about that for Quartz.

And indeed there are, but that really set me on the path to being very curious about question asking and identity. And that's a topic that I do pick up in the book as well. But one of the pieces that I wrote for behavioral scientists was all about question asking behavior in different contexts and really looked at what does it mean when we do or don't

ask questions in a lot of the research that's been done is in academic settings. And so it's really about understanding if you have folks who are, if you, let me start over, sorry. What the research is trying to understand is a lot of times in academic environments, women and men would ask questions at different rates, right?

And a lot of times women would not ask questions at the same rate as men. And so the question that researchers were asking is, well, why is this happening? And does it matter? What can we learn from question asking behavior? And so that was a really interesting topic for me and something that I explored along the way to writing the book.

And I'll also say another thing that, another topic that I explored at Behavioral Scientists that continues to be really intriguing and important to me is this question of technology addiction and how do we, how do we decouple from our devices and from the often kind of addictive behavior that comes from overuse of our phones. fun piece that I got to do.
