The Best of Science 2019

Over the course of the year, there are many papers we don’t have a chance to dive into. Join us this week as we cover some of the best research that didn’t make it into one of our episodes in 2019. Happy new year, and here’s to more exciting science coverage in 2020!

Here is a paper about dark chocolate reducing depression.

Here is an article about cleaning products being linked to childhood obesity.

One about a link between gingivitis and Alzheimers.

And here is an exciting one about grapes popping in the microwave! (Plus an awesome YouTube video here).

Happy new year!
