September 14, 2025 Academic Catch-Up: Researching Theory of Mind @ Cambridge University
This summer, I spent two weeks at Cambridge digging into that question through a psychology project on Theory of Mind, which is our ability to recognize that other people think, feel, and believe differently from us.
In this episode, I’m sharing what I learned: the history of Theory of Mind, why it’s been misunderstood in autism research, how culture changes the way it develops, and what my biggest takeaways were. A more personal, behind-the-scenes episode!

October 07, 2024 The Birth Order Series: Episode 4 - The Only Child
DISCLAIMER: There are no biological aspects of birth order which influence the personality of an individual, directly from birth (apart from the slight difference discussed with intelligence). However, environmental factors which tie into your birth category do have psychological impacts on the turnout of your personality, which is what is mainly discussed throughout this episode.

Welcome to Rewired’s first ever mini-series! In this episode I break down the psychology behind the personality of only children. What stereotypes have been made about their personalities? What does the personality of a typical only child look like? Listen on to find out more..

If you want to dive deeper, these research papers and articles below elaborate on some of the concepts i’ve discussed, and were mentioned at throughout the course of the episode:Paper one: "The associations of birth order with personality and intelligence in a representative sample of U.S. high school students”Paper two: “Examining the effects of birth order on personality” An Analysis of Empirical Validity of Alfred Adler’s Theory of Birth Order"
Article one: "Only children are often misunderstood. Take a closer look at the science” - American Psychological Association
