Life sciences professor Dr. Ayelet Erez reveals how Viagra's active ingredient appears to trap cholesterol inside cancer cells, potentially limiting their ability to spread. Neurogeneticist and mosquito expert Dr. Matthew DeGennaro outlines why some people can stand outside on a summer evening without a single mosquito bite and others get absolutely devoured. Psychotherapist and author Nancy Colier explains why it's important to stop fixing a relationship that's not working. Psychology professor Derek Arnold digs into how people with aphantasia – people who have no "mind's eye" – dream vividly in color, but can't picture anything awake. Psychology professor Paul Eastwick – co-host of the Love Factually podcast – talks about 'The Friend Zone', the trope that if men seem too nice and if they're friends with women, they will be taken advantage of.
