Hello, are you a student, I'm going to college next year.
Speaker 2
Hello, I am, I love rock music.
Speaker 1
Cool, I like to study neuroscience and do volunteer lab work while listening to rock.
Speaker 2
My mom is a nurse, so I have been to a lab too.
Speaker 1
Awesome, my mom works fast food, so do I.
Speaker 2
Do your restaurant serve jello? That is my favorite.
Speaker 1
No, closest thing is ice cream, which I really like.
Speaker 2
My other mom likes icecream too.
Speaker 1
Lol, I gotta run in a sec, eagle scout training.
Speaker 2
Cool, is that what you do in your free time?
Speaker 1
Between volunteer work, work, and eagle scout work, not much.
Speaker 2
What are you working on with eagle scout.

Speaker 1
What rock bands are you interested in?
Speaker 2
Def Leppard, Linkin Park, Nine Inch Nails, stuff like that. What kind of work do you do in your lab?
Speaker 1
It’s a lot to do with the electrical charges of the brain. We are working on a cure for brain ailments like Alzheimer’s.
Speaker 2
Holy smokes. That sounds very important and hard! What about epilepsy or brain cancer? Do you study illnesses such as depression or anxiety?
Speaker 1
Not cancer but yeah a lot of other things like depression. Did you know the brain sends electrical charges at almost the same rate as electricity flows through jello. So in a sense it has the same conductivity as jello does? 
Speaker 2
I didn't know that!! Is it true that if you have more wrinkles on your brain, then you're smarter?
Speaker 1
There is some correlation but there’s a lot more to it than that. 
Speaker 2
I didn't know if it was true or not. What about your brain separating from your skull if you're dehydrated? Is that true?
Speaker 1
Yeah it does contract and detach somewhat. It doesn’t take a long time for it to revert back to normal. It’s a good reason to keep up on drinking enough water every day though. 
Speaker 2
I never knew that before. I saw a video on it and wondered how true it was. Does it damage the functionality of your brain when you're dehydrated?
Speaker 1
It can slow down reaction time and impair thinking but it would take severe dehydration to really damage it. 
Speaker 2
I have a hard time drinking a lot of water or remembering to that is. I guess this will motivate me to stay hydrated. For the sake of my brain.

Speaker 1
Have you been staying hydrated? You better be after our last conversation! I saw that one of the bands l=you like is coming to town; we should check out the show!
Speaker 2
Have you finished reading your stephen king book?
Speaker 1
Not yet but I am going through it at my own pace. I really like it so far! How have your studies been going?
Speaker 2
I totally did. It was awesome. I saw a big shark.
Speaker 1
Oh that sounds terrifying! Are you ok?
Speaker 2
Yeah, he swam right up to my board. Then he stuck his mouth out of the water right near my foot.
Speaker 1
I would be so scared if that happened to me. At least if anything bad happened your mom could help patch you up.
Speaker 2
: I'm better than okay. It was awesome. But that's all boring stuff. Let's talk about something interesting. I hear you have a toaster!
Speaker 1
I am glad everything turned out ok. Yea I have had the toaster for a while, I use it daily!
Speaker 2
What are your cats up to?
Speaker 1
Oh you must have confused me with someone I do not own any cats. You mentioned you dont know much about the brain, perhaps I could help you if it interests you?
Speaker 2
Yeah, I am reading a book. "The 7 habits of highly effective people". quite interesting.

Speaker 1
How are you liking that book? I've never read it but I see that it has some pretty good reviews.
Speaker 2
It is good, but you need to have the will to change your bad habits if you want the book to be effective. I prefer novels, how good is the book that are are reading at the moment ?
Speaker 1
Yea that makes sense, it can be hard to put into practice in real life! I've just finished the Stephen King book "It", though I've never actually seen the movie. Have you seen the movie?
Speaker 2
I did not see the movie, I never liked any movie adaptation of Stephen King's books. Do you like movies based on books ? 
Speaker 1
Sometimes, I think it's interesting to see how they manage to adapt a book into a film. It can work well, but sometimes it can be terrible. I read Lord of the Rings last year and it was interesting to see how much they had to miss out in the films (otherwise they might have had to make 10 films rather than 3!!). 
Speaker 2
You are right, I also like movie adaptations Pride and Prejudice was really good. Also, you needed to read Dune before seeing the movie, otherwise you would not understand most of it, another case where they should have made 3 movies instead of one. What is your favorite movie adaptation ?
Speaker 1
I'll put Dune on my reading list! Yes I agree, the movie adaptations of Pride and Prejudice are great. That's a really good question though, I'm actually not sure on my favortie. What's yours?
Speaker 2
I really like Pride and Prejudice, the ball scenes were really good and I liked how Mary was treated, always in the background. In the book, she is mentioned, but it felt as they could just erased her and the book would be better. If you don't have a favorite movie adaptation, do you have a favorite movie ? 
Speaker 1
Yes the ball scenes were beautiful. Have you watched Bridgerton at all? Some of the ball scenes in that are beautiful. 
Speaker 2
It did not see Bridgerton, what kind of show is it ?
Speaker 1
It's a Netflix series which is based on books set in the 1800's. It's very English! But if you like period dramas, you might enjoy it!
Speaker 2
Thanks for the suggestion, I will add it to list. Do you want Netflix often ?

I saw the Pride and Prejudice movie. In the Pride and Prejudice movie they mention lots of thing from book accurately. It did not see Bridgerton.
Speaker 1
Do you anything about the black beauty book by anna swell? did you check Bridgerton  series? 
Speaker 2
I'm not sure what Bridgerton series is.
Speaker 1
It's a series on Netflix. It is based on a book series. Since you enjoy reading I wasn't sure if you have heard of it. 
Speaker 2
Oh, that sounds really cool. Is it good? What's it about?
Speaker 1
It takes place in the early 1800s. It's about a rich and powerful British family and there ups and downs with finding love. It reminds me a little bit of Pride and Prejudice.
Speaker 2
Oh,I guess at the time that's what people liked to write about. No point writing about the peasants and their drudgery.
Speaker 1
No, although maybe that is an untapped market. I wouldn't mind reading a book about the love between peasants. It isn't glamorous but it could be interesting.
Speaker 2
I suppose, I have to go soon but since you're a neuroscientist I wanted to ask you this question. Do you believe in free will?
Speaker 1
Yes, I believe in free will. I think being a scientist makes it so I have to believe in it. I always try to think about thinks logically. What is your opinion on free will?
Speaker 2
My opinion is it's an illusion and a social construct, but you know better than I would. Maybe you should write a book about peasants and their love, and how no matter how subservient they are no one can take their freedom to choose who they love.
Speaker 1
That's an interesting take. What an idea for a book! It would probably need to have a tragic end. I'll need to do some research on the lives of peasants to make it realistic.
Speaker 2
I bet it would be tempting to have one of them fall in love with someone from the upper classes. It would be really hard to write a book in the time period without including the wealthy as central as peasants lives were so mundane.
