In this episode we look at the science of sync and the spread of fads. There is a remarkable beauty to synchrony. Our brains wouldn't exist without millions of neurons firing in step and our hearts wouldn't pump without a coordinated action of million of little heart cells. Synchronizing with with others allows us has allowed us accomplish everything we have so far. But, we’re going to see what happens when synchrony goes wrong. How, it can tear us apart but also bring us back together.  Dr. Daniel Abrams will walk us through the science of synchrony and the tipping point that sets it off. This tipping point is can help us understand how viruses and ideas spread. Dr. Dominic Packer shares what types of things go viral and we explore some possible solutions to the toxicity that spreads through out networks.
