Biobehavioral scientist Suchitra Krishnan-Sarin explains what you're actually inhaling when you vape (hint: it's definitely not water vapor) and explores the disturbing marketing tactics being used to target kids. \"Our health, the health of our children and our future generations is far too valuable to let it go up in smoke -- or even in aerosol,\" she says.

👁What is love? - Brad Troeger

🗣Subtitle: Farsi | English | Turkish
👣Is love a signal winding through your neural pathways? A cliche? A cult?

And love feels differently to every person who feels it, but this subjective emotion has evolutionary explanations, too. Brad Troeger takes a shot at the definition of love.
