We’re back, baby. In a world where we’re being swarmed by misinformation and it feels like science is under threat, we’ve got you. Science Vs is kicking off with all new episodes full of actual scientific research done by actual scientists. We’re bringing you the science on sugar — is it really a poison? Should you switch to honey? We’ll look into AI “girlfriends” and ask: How problematic is it that people are spending their days with AI chatbots? Plus episodes on how to improve our memory, how worried we should be about forever chemicals, the science of the full moon, the idea of pronatalism and much MUCH more.

So we're exploring why we keep forgetting things and how we can improve our memory. Plus, we are finally tackling a topic that you all have been asking about for years.

You wanted to know if the full moon makes you go crazy? So we found out. We're diving into manifesting to see if just by thinking of your goals, your dreams, it'll basically make them come true. Because online, people are saying it worked. They manifested their ex-boyfriend texting them, wanting them back. How do we explain that? Ha ha ha ha ha ha!

Because life is super fun. I mean, I'm a fan of magic when it happens.
