Alcohol in young people, neuromyths and psychobiology

Half of what gets repeated about the brain is false and taught anyway. We talk teenage drinking, plasticity, the myths that survive in classrooms and how to tell science communication from noise.

What this episode covers

• What alcohol does to a brain that is still developing
• The most widespread neuromyths and why they will not die
• What psychobiology is and what it is for
• How to read a science headline without swallowing it whole
