Say hi 👉 https://twitter.com/nessyhill | https://instagram.com/nessyhill

I sit down with StarTalk Radio hosts Neil deGrasse Tyson and Eugene Mirman to chat about what it would be like for our brain and body in space. We have a model of gravity built into our brains that allows us to catch balls and function normally on Earth: what happens if gravity was higher? Or lower? How do aliens move? What do aliens from higher gravity planets look like? Should we ever stop asking questions?

BrainCraft was created by Vanessa Hill (@nessyhill) and is brought to you by PBS Digital Studios. Talking psychology, neuroscience & why we act the way we do.
