Subscribe and let your curiosity swear a little. We won’t tell. 😉
In this Wildly Curious minisode, Katy Reiss and Laura Fawks Lapole kick off their new Niche Scientists series with a deep dive into Dr. Richard Stephens—a psychologist who studies something we all do (sometimes loudly): swearing.
From pain tolerance to powerlifting, Dr. Stephens’ research shows that strategic cursing can actually make you stronger, tougher, and maybe even a little bit smarter about when to drop an F-bomb.
🤬 Can swearing really reduce pain?
💪 Does cursing make you physically stronger?
🧠 What happens in your brain when you let it fly?
🚫 And why swearing too often makes it less effective?
It’s the perfect mix of science, psychology, and sass—because sometimes the best way to say “ouch”... is to not say “ouch.”
🎧 This is our first episodr of our Niche Scientists minisodes—short, weird, and full of science you didn’t know you needed.
