Trailer: Behavioral Scientist Reads ‘Flights’
The podcast trailer is officially here!
Introducing Behavioral Scientist Reads, the podcast that explores what it means to be human through conversations at the intersection of science and culture, and books that illuminate who we are and who we can become.
You can find Behavioral Scientist Reads wherever you get your podcasts, including: Apple, Spotify, and YouTube. Head to your go-to app, listen to the trailer, and follow the podcast so new episodes land in your feed. (If it’s not in your preferred app, let us know at editor@behavioralscientist.org.)
You can also listen here:
Join the discussion in our WhatsApp Community
As you read the novel and listen to the podcast, join the Behavioral Scientist Reads WhatsApp community to take part in asynchronous group discussions.
Here we can come together across countries and time zones to share our ideas, aha moments, and burning questions. The goal is to create a shared reading experience as we explore Flights and its themes over the course of the summer.
As we launch the community, we want to pose our first discussion question:
- Why did you decide to punch your ticket for the book club this summer? — Was it the book that caught your interest? The intersection of science and culture? Are you getting back into reading? Are you looking for a creative and productive way to spend your free time? For the discussions and community? Something else? Let us know!
Don’t forget!
Share your time preferences for the live group discussions via this form by this Friday, July 17. Your responses will help us schedule the live group discussions and final live event.
Help us take the show on the road
Share the trailer with your friends and colleagues, along with more info about the book club and how to sign up.
Next up: Episode 1
Keep your eyes and ears out for the first episode next Thursday. Why did we choose this strange, fragmented novel for the summer book club? What do we know about Olga Tokarczuk? And what are some “reading maps” we can use to start finding our way in this very different kind of story? We’ll explore these questions and more next week.
A special thank you to Leslie Rowley and the Kahneman-Treisman Center for Behavioral Science & Public Policy at Princeton University for sponsoring Behavioral Scientist Reads and helping to make the podcast possible.
