Listener Questions: Your Body Is Weird and Wonderful, Part 1 🧠 ⚡ 🧬

About this episode

This episode answers listener questions about the strange and wonderful aspects of the human body.

In this listener questions episode we try to answer questions about our bodies. Why things hurt. Why things itch. And why our body sometimes does things that seem completely strange - until science explains them. Grown-ups: we value your feedback.
