http://www.usefulscience.org/podcast/16 This week we learn about art museums, napping, and male and female brains. Follow us @usefulsci or email us at podcast@usefulscience.org. Show Notes Students selected to visit an art museum showed stronger critical thinking skills and displayed higher levels of social tolerance after the visit. These effects were larger for students from more disadvantaged backgrounds. Bo Bartlett’s The Box Although there are some aspects of brain structure that are more common in males or females, any individual brain is typically a 'mosaic' of these features, suggesting there is no such thing as a 'male brain' or 'female brain'.
