This is the audio version of a paper I recently co-authored in Trends in Cognitive Sciences, titled "How podcasts can benefit scientific communities". I'm reading the preprint version of the article, which is very similar to the published version.

This was a talk I recently did on social media for academics. I cover both why and how academics can use social media to boost their academic careers. The slides are available here.
Enjoy!

This episode is the audio version of our paper, titled "An Allostatic Theory of Oxytocin", that was recently published in Trends in Cognitive Sciences.
Here is the abstract:
Oxytocin has garnered considerable interest for its role in social behavior, as well as for the potential of intranasal administration to treat social difficulties. How- ever, current theoretical models for the role of oxytocin in social behavior pay little consideration to its evolutionary and developmental history. This article aims to broaden our understanding of the role of oxytocin in social behavior by adopting an ethological approach through the lens of Nikolaas Tinbergen’s 'four questions' – how does oxytocin work; how does the role of oxytocin change during development; how does oxytocin enhance survival; and how did the oxytocin system evolve? We argue that oxytocin is most accurately described as an allostatic hormone that modulates both social and non-social behavior by maintaining stability through changing environments.

The main hesitation I hear from researchers when it comes to social media is that they've got nothing to share. In this short clip, I show you can you can share ten different bits of information, across different platforms, using just one idea.
Here's the video version of this clip.
