The Science Of Us is a podcast about who we are, how we behave and why. It explores human behaviour in an attempt to help us better understand ourselves and the minds of those around us. Because at the end of the day, how can we ever aim to improve the way we interact, communicate or work with each other if we don’t understand ourselves. We interview leaders from all walks of human life to get unique perspectives on everything from how we make decisions to the role of emotional agility in sport, managing ego in the workplace and creating sustainable relationships.

How our behaviour is affected by what goes on around us
Whether we think it or not, emotions often govern the way we behave. In fact, the human brain processes emotions 200 times faster than rational input. The way we feel is often influenced by a number of factors, from our upbringing to other external stimuli we experience day-to-day. So how exactly do the things that go on around us, such as the saturation of negative news or the power dynamics at work, change how we behave? We speak with Michaela Simpson, a neuroscientist who is currently Senior Research Scientist at NeuroLeadership Institute, about the role of emotion in human behaviour and how they can be heightened when we go through events such as the pandemic we are currently in right now.
