God forbid a man does his own research and shares his findings hence the line “it is interesting to learn that…”

Science communicators should be held to a higher standard than a regular person.

ADHD has been known to be genetic for decades and is one of the most well-known facts about ADHD. For a neuroscientist who has created 20 hours of ADHD-related content for his podcast to only start figuring this out now - and STILL get it wrong - is just... not good. It makes him untrustworthy as a science communicator.
