It's good to see you.
And we are looking directly at each other.
We're in person at NPR headquarters, but sometimes you and I do work from home.
Today on the show, some new science to answer a very difficult question.
What does working from home do to our health and our sense of well-being?
I'm Emily Kwong.
I'm Ritu Chatterjee.
And you're listening to Shortwave from NPR.
OK, so Ritu, just to be clear, this is only one study we're talking about today.
I know it was in a very prestigious journal.
Science is like one of the big ones.
All right, let's dig into the paper.
How did researchers even go about answering this question?
Okay, so the study defined non-remotable jobs as those that require someone to go someplace to work.
Like my cousin who makes helicopter parts.
He's working at a big piece of equipment every day.
Exactly.
So what did they find?
That's interesting.
But wouldn't also working from home give you more flexibility to see a therapist or get mental health care?
