Wanna watch a quick video? I’ve got one. Wanna listen to a short podcast? I’ve got one of those, too! In this first post and episode, not only will you learn what autobiology is, but you will also learn about a fun topic that approximately half of all people in the world experience…that we know of, anyway!
Ready to learn more about me AND get your first autobiology lesson? Take a listen to Episode 1 of Autobiology Bits, my biology entertainment podcast.
In this episode, you will be introduced to your biology maven (ME!) and what it takes to become an autobiologist. Hint: you probably already are! I also introduce the first autobiology bit about a fun topic that helps you realize how the brain can process sounds differently, resulting in various emotional responses, depending on how you are wired. Enjoy!
