Summary

Most people are right-handed. So this episode, we are celebrating International Left-Handers Day to honor the 10% of the population that are left-handed. To discuss the unique elements of the left-hand brain, host Dr. Samantha Yammine speaks with clinical neuropsychologist Dr. David Carey. She also dives into the question of why so many people are right-handed and later, she explores a study that shows how to figure out which paw preference your dog has.     Link to Show Notes HERE     Follow Curiosity Weekly on your favorite podcast app to get smarter with Dr. Samantha Yammine — for free!
