It's a very special Thanksgiving edition of WUOT's signature science series. First up, your Thanksgiving meal might include a stout ale or a nice IPA. But before you take a sip, think about the shape of your beer glass, and the temperature of the beverage. Glassmaker Matthew Cummings has studied both, and he says the way you drink your favorite brew might be hurting, instead of helping, the experience. Cummings talks with Method host Brandon Hollingsworth.
Then: Black Friday is just around the corner, and the full-court Christmas shopping press begins. What happens to our brains when we buy something for someone else? Is there such a thing as "retail therapy"? Neurologist Ralph Lydicwill share the answers with WUOT's Matt Shafer Powell.
The Method airs Wednesday, November 25, at 5:50 p.m., on WUOT.
WEB EXTRA: Really into beer? Really really into beer? You'll enjoy this extended edit of Brandon's chat with Matthew Cummings.
