Drawing on my background in pharmacology and biomedical engineering, I break down how attention, focus, impulsivity, motivation, and brain chemistry are connected. I’m joined by my brother Alex for a personal conversation about living with ADHD, including medication, coping strategies, creativity, and hyperfocus. We also discuss how modern life can make attention feel harder to manage, and why ADHD is best understood as a complex neurodevelopmental condition rather than a simple lack of effort or discipline. Whether you have ADHD, support someone who does, or are simply curious about how attention works, this episode offers a clear and thoughtful look at the science behind focus, behaviour, and the brain. Science Savvy helps make science feel clear, useful, and relevant to everyday life.","meta_description":"In this episode of Science Savvy, I explore the science behind ADHD and what it can look like in everyday life.
