  • Best Of: Meg Jay Helps Us Navigate, Understand, And Review Our Twenties

    Best Of: Meg Jay Helps Us Navigate, Understand, And Review Our Twenties
    May 16 2024
    What do you remember about being in your twenties? Maybe it was the best time of your life. Maybe it brought challenges that you had to learn to overcome as you entered adulthood.

    And if you're in your twenties now, life probably looks a lot different for you than it did for your parents.

    Meg Jay is a psychologist and author. In her new book, "The Twentysomething Treatment: A Revolutionary Remedy for an Uncertain Age," she explores the way our twenties set up the rest of our lives, and how the uncertainties that come with entering adulthood affect our brain.

    We sit down with her to talk about growing up, becoming an adult, and how our twenties stay with us all our lives.

    Scientific Method: The Cicadas Are Coming
    May 14 2024
    What has red eyes, lives underground for years, and screeches all summer long? That would be cicadas. And they're here.

    And more are coming.For the first time in over two hundred years, billions of cicadas are digging their way up from underground in a rare biological occurrence.

    Scientists are calling it a double brood emergence because two cicada broods will be above ground at the same time. Depending on where you live, you might have already seen them flying around or their infamous exoskeletons skins.

    For this installment of Scientific Method, our series where we speak to experts about the latest in the science world, we're talking about cicadas.
