Science Friction
Science Friction’s latest series is: Brain Rot. We’re looking at what being chronically online is doing to our brains. What’s really going on with our attention spans and tech addiction? Is data-dumping your entire life into ChatGPT helpful? Can going internet free help you escape the doomscroll? And what’s it like to be in love … with an AI?
National technology reporter Ange Lavoipierre tackles the wildest ways people are using tech and the big questions about our own use. That’s Brain Rot — our latest series from Science Friction.
Science Friction’s previous series was: Cooked. We dig into food science pickles. Why are studies showing that ice cream could be good for you? Do we really need as many electrolytes as the internet says? And why are people feeling good on the carnivore diet?
