It's gonna be MAAAAY! Technically, it's May right now. And, in honor of May, all our episodes will be about ME! Well, about Diana and Jackie, to be exact. This month, we'll be discussing research articles actually written by our dynamic doctor duo . There's even an article that they wrote together. Plus, we finally dish out the answer to the question you've all been asking: What's the difference between behavioral momentum and the high-p/low-p sequence? I mean, you might not be asking it overtly, but it's at least a commonly occurring private event.

NOTE: Sorry about our busted audio this month. It was either use the poor quality back-up or a loud buzzing sound every 5 seconds. We'll be back to normal next week.
