July 8, 2026 · 27 min

Show notes

Everybody experiences feelings of the old green-eyed monster now and again, but for such a common mental state, there’s a surprising lack of scientific research about it. This episode, Dr. Samantha Yammine speaks with author Dr. Jennifer Bevan about her research on jealousy and how we communicate it to others. Before that, Sam digs into the latest sunscreen ingredient approved by the FDA and what that means for our skin. Later, a new study explores how our balance is affected as we age and what that means for preventing falls among the elderly.
