Wendy Zuckerman (Science Vs host) / Radiolab clips narrator (also uses Radiolab voices)

Hi, I'm Wendy Zuckerman and you're listening to Science Versus.

So we all know that everyone's different, right?

We're all special snowflakes.

But every now and then you'll hear a story, or maybe if you're a nerd like me, you'll read a scientific paper that makes you realize that we're different in these ways that you didn't expect, that you never thought about.

Turns out it's not just who loves Tay-Tay and who thinks she's just fine.

And today's episode is all about this.

Not Taylor Swift.

The idea that we're different in these unexpected ways.

It comes to us from Radiolab and it's a story that we heard and we just really loved it and wanted to share it with you.

So we're going to jump in just after the break.

All right.

All right.

I'm Lulu.

I'm Latif.

This is Radiolab.

And today's story comes to us from producer Sindhu Nyanasambandhan.

Okay, so this story, it sort of found me.

Last year, I was working on this episode about memory.

And I was talking to this neuroscientist, Mark Whitman.

He asked me this question.
