Ian McLaughlin is a PhD student in Neuroscience at Penn and also one of our most frequent returning guest. Ian is also the host of the 'Wired to be Weird' podcast. The reason Ian keeps coming back on the Clock Dodgers Podcast is because he has so much knowledge to share about the human brain that explains who, what, when, where and why we do what we do. Ian makes learning about the brain easy and fun to consume. You don't want to miss this conversation between Neal and Ian!
