I told y’all that we were keeping it moving! This week we’re going over how the brain indexes abstract thought, how emotions are expressed across cultures, and the self-fulfilling prophecy of gender. Please excuse the tangents this week, Rite Aid closed and I am without Vyvanse. That being said, very happy to have you in this week’s communal Schauer!
