“We live in a gender-biased world, and that can kill”, says
neuroscientist Lara Wierenga.

There are even more exciting things we can learn from her podcast
episode of “Kultur wandle Dich!”/”What the heck is going on?”.
For example,

- what biases on gender differences are still out there, that are
harmful, partly even deadly

- how the brain differs between male and female (spoiler: yes,
the male brain is 10% bigger, but...)

- how hormone levels differ and what their effect is

- what effect our chromosomes have (and whatnot!)

- in what way social media is an exaggerator of stereotypes

- the answer to a question I always had in winter: why women
perceive the same outside temperature as colder than men
