Women apologize more than men. Why is that? This episode looks at the likely reason and it may surprise you. https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/0956797610384150 Marijuana has come a long way. A few decades ago, it was considered a very dangerous and illegal drug. Today, recreational use of marijuana is legal in a lot of places and smoking it is just not a big deal. While people have their beliefs about it, what does the science say? What is in marijuana? How has it changed? Is it dangerous or not? Here to tackle all those questions and more is Godfrey Pearlson. He is a psychiatric researcher, physician, and Yale neuroscience professor. He has authored a book on the subject called The Science of Weed: An Indispensable Guide to Cannabis (https://amzn.to/48IZJcF).

She is a professor of sociology at the University of Illinois at Urbana– Champaign and author of the book, The Certainty Trap: Why We Need to Question Ourselves More―and How We Can Judge Others Less (https://amzn.to/3YEBWGp).

And it could be costing you money and putting strain on the equipment. Listen and I will explain. Source: Jeff May author of My House is Killing Me (https://amzn.to/40HBBoN).
