How does our brain work? Do we even know exactly? How does your brain choose the words to say at any given situation? This week I meet cognitive neuroscientist Dr. Evangelia Balatsou that through her research tried to answer all these questions.Subscribe to the podcast: <a href="https://www.lefterisasks.com/listen" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.lefterisasks.com/listen</a>Subscribe to the weekly newsletter: <a href="https://my.captivate.fm/lefterisasks.com/newsletter" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">lefterisasks.com/newsletter</a>Buy me a coffee: <a href="https://www.buymeacoffee.com/LefterisAsks" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.buymeacoffee.com/LefterisAsks</a>Follow Greek girls code: <a href="https://twitter.com/GreekGirlsCode" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://twitter.com/GreekGirlsCode</a> Find out more about Dr. Balatsou and her work:<a href="https://sites.google.com/view/evangeliabalatsou/home" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://sites.google.com/view/evangeliabalatsou/home</a><a href="https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=Hp3O5uQAAAAJ&amp;hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=Hp3O5uQAAAAJ&amp;hl=en</a>

Lefteris asks science - Edition 20 - What is fake news? (w. Panayiotis Smeros)

Scientists continue to discover new things in their quest to understand the fundamental principles of life, and at the same time help improve the lives of millions. But with scientists being busy with their research and the public living in an extremely fast paced world, there are a lot of new technologies or discoveries that are either being overlooked or even misunderstood. Lefteris (that's me) meets with the scientists and tries to understand what their job entails and how can their work affect the lives of potentially millions of people.
