Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#69 NASA Scientist Reveals What We Really Found on Mars!
Q: Would you say that that emergence of life is more likely than not?
It's difficult to answer, but there exists a possibility that life might have emerged on Mars given the right conditions, though definitive evidence is still lacking.
#69 NASA Scientist Reveals What We Really Found on Mars!
Q: Is there any evidence that life is currently existing on Mars right now? Is this the biggest discovery we've ever made for potential life on other planets?
There are ongoing discussions on whether there is currently life on Mars. The possible discoveries of organic molecules and features suggesting potential biosignatures indicate that while we have intriguing evidence, conclusive proof requires more data.
#70 Meet the Neuroscientist Driving the New Science of Mental Health!
Q: How do you think about SSRIs and the amount they're being prescribed at the moment?
I believe in a variety of treatments for mental health. Antidepressants work for many, but we should have a range of options and listen to patient stories regarding their experiences.
#70 Meet the Neuroscientist Driving the New Science of Mental Health!
Q: Do we know what might be different in cases where someone has poor physical health, but their mental health doesn't degrade?
Some individuals may have genetic predispositions or environmental factors that make them resilient to mental health degradation despite poor physical health.
#71 Meet the Neuroscientist Who Proved Every Cell in Your Body Has a Memory!
Q: Do you think a cell is conscious?
There might be something that falls under this definition of consciousness through not neurons, through something else.
