Summary
The debate about video games and mental health has been happening for decades and sometimes it can be hard to cut through the noise. This episode, host Dr. Samantha Yammine is joined by Dr. Craig Anderson, an expert on media and aggression, to understand what science says happens when kids play violent video games. Before that, Sam will dig into how something called the Grandmother Hypothesis separates us from our primate cousins and later, she’ll look at new research on how snakes store their stolen toxins.
