Jolene is joined by Professor Megan Massa of Emory University to talk about neuroendocrinology! We talk about hormones, their affects on behavior, scientific narratives around this, how those narratives interact with popular narratives, and more! This is a really jam packed episode and one I'm really proud of. Enjoy!
