Grab your fidget toys and LISTEN UP because class is in session and Professor Kristin isn’t messing around, except for when she is. This episode we’re hippo-dipping our toes into the neurobiology of ADHD and looking at some of the research behind why we struggle with dopamine, with the help of some silly analogies to keep it entertaining. 

Grace has difficulty remembering basic words, but more than makes up for it with a surplus of songs, a mood I think we can all enjoy. Plus, we’re sharing our Dream Hobbies, Weird Algorithms, recommendations for the best restaurants to shout at your dad, and so much more.
