Hello everybody, welcome back to the show. My guest today is Dr. Tracy Viancor. She's a professor at the University of Ottawa, a researcher, and an author with a focus on the link between violence and mental health.

Intracesexual competition is present in all animals.

However, the sophistication of this rivalry amongst human females is unbelievably impressive.

The fairer sex wields their competition in some very weird, wonderful, and ruthless

ways.

Expect to learn why women use indirect aggression as a competition strategy, how resource scarcity influences their competition,

whether children actually developed just fine with no consequences during the pandemic,

the relationship between bullying and social status, the impact of

bullying on a developing brain, and much more. This episode is brought to you by
