  • A photo showing two people from the neck down gathered around a big mug of coffee. One person has a hand around the cup and the other is pouring a bit of cream into the coffee cup.
    The Science and Culture of Your Coffee Habit
    Audrey Smith
    Many people start the day by reaching for a cup of coffee. But how much do you really know about the effects of your daily cup?
  • An illustration of white coffee mugs filled with various kinds of coffee beverages on a pink and white background. The view is from above, so the contents of each of the mugs is visible. The coffee mug at the center has a light brown liquid in it with the image of a brain. To the right of that mug is the word “Caffeinated” written in cursive.
    Caffeinated: The Science & Culture Of Your Coffee Habit
    Audrey Smith
    Anita comes from a tea-drinking family, but she's happiest when she's holding a mug of coffee the size of her face. For years, she's been reading headlines about why coffee is "good" for you, but she's not sure where myth ends and fact begins. So, she turns to the experts: Dr. Rao (her dad) is back to explain why coffee makes you poop, and how it affects your gut. A neuroscientist tells her about what her brain is doing once coffee hits her system. And two folks with deep ties to java talk about coffee culture, from bean to brew.
