0:00.0	Hi, you're about to get smarter in just a few minutes with Curiosity Daily from Curiosity.com.
0:06.5	I'm Cody Gough.
0:07.5	And I'm Ashley Hamer.
0:08.5	Today you'll learn about how kids as young as eight show a gender gap when it comes to negotiating, how speaking another language can change
0:15.6	your personality, and what paleontologists can learn from a momentous new discovery of fossilized
0:21.2	dinosaur embryos. Let's satisfy some curiosity.
0:24.0	The world has a stubborn gender pay gap problem,
0:29.0	where women consistently make less than men do for the same work.

1:04.7	The children did a simple task with an experimenter who then let them select stickers as a reward.
1:10.7	The researcher asked the children to decide for themselves how many stickers they deserved for finishing the game that they had just played.
