New Video: hold my beer (Patreon)

Happy New Year Howtowners!

It's "Dry January," and so this week we took a look at the sobering and sometimes confusing world of alcohol research. If you've ever been confused about contradictory stream of headlines about moderate drinking - we hope our latest episode brings some clarity.

Last week we hosted our very first Science Paper Book Club - and it led to a lot of really interesting discussion about who's most susceptible to misinformation - and how you would even figure that out. Our full recording of the meeting is now available to all paying tiers if you want to catch what you missed.

We'll be meeting again at noon EST on February 3 (whether the groundhog sees his shadow or no) - and we'll be announcing the next paper soon.

Howtown's Discord is now open to everyone - and we're having great conversations over there too! Come join if that's your thing: https://discord.gg/aM9k3nQWCG. We share some background on our episodes, discuss the news, do some recreational fact checking as a group, and of course post pictures of all the animals of Howtown.

In shorts: have you ever seen a vampire bat on a treadmill? Now you can.

Howtown has a lot of things in store for 2025 - and that's all thanks to you! Feliz Año Nuevo!
