About Us
Hi! We're Jess and Bryan (on the right).
We’re the co-hosts of LifeScience, where curiosity gets put to the test. (But there's no exam for you!) We ask the questions, check the research, challenge the obvious answers, and see where the evidence takes us.
Between us, we bring science, research, analysis, storytelling, and a shared love of a good curiosity spiral. The result: smart, funny conversations about the things people actually wonder about—without the jargon, the lecture, or the homework. (Yay!)
What should we explore next? Share your idea with us, and it could inspire a new episode!
Episode 7 | Any Excuse for Cake
Why do we celebrate random holidays—and why can National Donut Day suddenly make you desperately want a donut? Jess and Bryan explore the psychology of rituals, nostalgia, and “special” occasions, then dig into the science of food cravings, conditioning, and why your brain can make pizza feel like an emergency.
