Titi and Zakiya are back with a bonus lab, and they brought a very special guest: author Alex Elle, whose new book The Company We Keep: Friendship, Connection, and Redefining What It Means to Grow Togetheris the perfect excuse to dig into everything "big friendship" and platonic love require. We're talking main ingredients like capacity, honesty, repair, and the courage to put down the "strong friend" badge.

In this conversation, Alex opens up about learning that people show up differently (and that's not always a slight), the friendship that taught her what healthy communication actually looks like, and why silence can quietly destroy the relationships we're trying to protect. Titi and Zakiya bring their own friendship into the mix too, tracing 15+ years of confrontation, repair, and re-learning what it means to be a "high-maintenance" friend in the best way.

This week we’re wrapping up Semester 5 in the lab.

Over the past year we’ve explored everything from bird flu and the microbiome to AI, addiction, air quality, and the psychology of Black Friday. We’ve talked about how systems—technological, biological, economic, and cultural—shape the way we live.

In this episode, Titi & Zakiya look back at some of the labs that surprised them the most and talk about the science stories they’re still watching right now. From AI governance to human behavior, the questions keep evolving.

The semester may be ending, but curiosity never stops!

You’ve seen the headlines — Gen Z can’t read, attention spans are shot, we’re all getting dumber. But is any of that actually true? This week, Titi and Zakiya slow down and actually look at the research behind the literacy panic. From international assessments to the Nation’s Report Card, they break down what the data really says, why the drops we’re seeing aren’t just a “kids these days” problem, and what gets lost when we conflate reading scores with intelligence.
