Welcome to the second iteration of Blank Psychology where our hosts delve into various topics sometimes loosely based on psychology. This week Ankur and Harsha discuss the optimal way to build an argument, why there is so much burnout in science, how to use mindfulness to fight procrastination, and the view of "gaming gear" in society. We hope to see you continue these conversations in the comments below and we will be responding to everyone down there as well.
