A Video GAME That Steals Your BRAIN? With Dr. KIKI! - a podcast by Philip Shane & Matt Stanley

YOUR BRAIN ON GAME

What The If there were a VIDEO GAME that could take over your BRAIN? We're going into the arcade, so get your quarters or tokens ready. It's time to play POLYBIUS. So dust off your fanny packs, load them up with coins and get ready to get your BRAIN sucked out of your head.



OUR GUEST STAR

We are joined by a hero of Philip's, Dr. Kiki from the amazing podcast, This Week In Science! Dr. Kiki Sanford is is an American neurophysiologist and science communicator. After working at the University of California, Davis as a research scientist, she left research work to pursue a career in science communication. Her work has included multiple audio and video programs, including the This Week in Science radio program and podcast and Dr. Kiki's Science Hour, a podcast involving interviews with experts in a given scientific field.
