Let's take a walk, shall we? This is what's been on my mind lately: eco anxiety and what's happening in Australia: Massive bushfires and now, record flooding and a tropical cyclone.
It's been a tough week. I hope this video helps.
Why was March the longest year ever? Our perception of time is subjective – and neuroscience and psychology experiments can give us some hints about the role your emotions and memory play in the COVID-19 time warp. Please stay safe, STAY HOME and take care of your mental health, too.
How can we convince others to wear a mask? Here are six tips I need you to share with... your community. You're a science communicator now. If you think about wearing a mask like other behaviours and actions related to our health – wearing seatbelts, condoms, sunscreen and more – we can look at things that did (and didn't work) in public health campaigns in the past. I hope you like my PSA.
"Type A" Personality Was Invented by the Tobacco Industry - Here's How.
The pursuit of happiness is futile. And psychology suggests that identifying ways you are content is a better way to achieve well-being.

This is my kind-of Social Dilemma Review, and I say ‘kind-of’ because I found there wasn’t that much to review in the Netflix documentary itself. Many of the people interviewed made valid points, though the documentary offered little in the way of solutions and in my opinion, the ending was alarmist. When I made Attention Wars we wanted it to be information-dense, so this is what I’m adding to the discussion – lots of examples and information of what I consider to me the more disturbing side of social media and psychology.
Seven years ago, I uploaded my first YouTube video to BrainCraft. I had it fact-checked, and sat down to watch it for the first time since 2013.
I've never been great at short term planning. This year, I started using a tiered planning system and found it help reduce my anxiety. Here's some food for thought as we head into the new year: Is there a way you can manage your time better?
The planning software I'm using is called Actions by Moleskine Studio, it's a paid service and I signed up because I like the colours and simplicity. Out of the free options, I like Asana the best. It has a simple to-do list feature, and it's also pretty customisable and good for working in teams.
