What makes your day better? What brightens up your day? For me, it’s a conversation with others: my family, friends, or even with strangers that I happened to start talking to. On this podcast, hosted by a toast and croissant loving individual, Yuki Hayashi, I am sharing the stories from the interactions with others that I find inspiring and encouraging as well as funny and relaxing.

In today's episode, I am sharing an interview with Kate Jeffery, who is a neuroscientist. She is a professor at UCL (University College London) and also a climate activist.
During the interview, not only she introduced us the science behind why we are acting the we are, but she also shared with us her experiences of why she felt the need to take an action for a huge problem that we are facing today : climate change.
