On this episode of Let's Know Things, we talk about how perception can influence our decisions, whether we're choosing a wine or a presidential candidate.

We'll also talk about how negative biases about some groups can color our impressions of potentially beneficial advances, and discuss how this knowledge might allow us to make better decisions for ourselves.

Let's Know Things is produced and hosted by Colin Wright.
