What happens when you actually start paying attention to yourself? In this episode of Lipstick on Labcoats , we're exploring the observer effect, self-awareness, habits, metacognition, social media, and the science of behavior change .

In this episode of Lipstick on Labcoats , we explore a powerful lesson from the laboratory: every experiment has limitations, and every study eventually reaches an endpoint. What happens when we keep testing people long after we've gathered enough evidence?
