Japan appears in discussions of motivation cells, sand use, and politeness
On Extend Podcast, Rajeev Kapur relayed that scientists in Japan had identified a motivation cell that could be turned on or off.[1]
Science Friday discussed Japan’s substantial sand use over roughly 40 years while examining concrete’s dependence on sand and an impending shortage.[2]
The Rest Is Science used Hannah Fry’s visit to Japan, where a fixer told the crew when they were being impolite, to illustrate that politeness varies between countries.[3]
The shows do not present one shared argument about Japan; they refer to separate topics in healthcare research, construction materials, and changing social behavior.[1][2][3]
