Let’s dive into the remarkable tale of how the fans redeemed Marvel Vs. Capcom: Infinite – a story that’s a true testament to the power of gaming community spirit.
The Rise of the “Huberman Husband”
Huberman’s Credentials and Popularity

Andrew Huberman is such a successful podcaster and wellness guru that his most devoted male followers are known by a teasing nickname: “Huberman Husbands.” But when recording his show Huberman Lab, Huberman has plenty that an influential podcasting superstar like, say, Joe Rogan, doesn’t: a PhD in neuroscience and a position at Stanford University School of Medicine as an associate professor of neurobiology. It is these credentials that lend Huberman a voice of authority, even as he has strayed far from his fields of specialty (ophthalmology and visual systems) to become a generalist for his millions of listeners.

From Ophthalmology to Wellness Guru: Expanding Expertise
Covering topics that range from dreams and dopamine to meditation and nutrition, he is positioned as an all-around expert who can distill some of the most complex questions in science into accessible explainers for the curious. This broad appeal has made Huberman a go-to source for a large audience seeking insights into the workings of the brain and body, often bypassing traditional scientific channels.
The Allure of Accessible Science
Huberman’s success can be attributed to his ability to present complex scientific concepts in a clear and engaging manner. He often uses relatable anecdotes and everyday examples to illustrate his points, making the information more digestible for a wider audience. This accessibility has undoubtedly contributed to his growing popularity, particularly among those who may not have a strong scientific background.
Cannabis Confusion: Misinformation in the Spotlight
Huberman’s Viral Cannabis Video: Claims and Criticisms
But the result can be oversimplification or outright miscommunication that leads to charges of pseudoscience — as when he recently shared a video about the effects of cannabis on X (formerly Twitter).
How Marijuana Affects the Brain & Body pic.twitter.com/4tze5fjOqh — Andrew D. Huberman, Ph.D. (@hubermanlab) May 5, 2024
The 20-minute clip comes from a nearly three-hour episode of Huberman Lab originally released in 2022. Outside that context, and free-floating on social media, this content attracted the ire of those who specifically study cannabis and its effects on the brain and body.
Expert Pushback: Fact-Checking the Claims
The video includes claims about the supposed differences between sativa and indica variants of cannabis, the mechanisms by which cannabinoid compounds interact with the nervous system, and how the drug alters memory and appetite that experts tell Morningpicker are either misleading or inaccurate.
On X, Huberman appeared to stand by these assertions but encouraged critics to submit feedback via a portal on his show’s website; a representative also replied to a request for comment with sources Huberman had used in preparing the episode. “Does anyone know what drug he’s talking about?” tweeted Peter Grinspoon, a physician, medical cannabis specialist at Massachusetts General Hospital, instructor at Harvard Medical School, and author of Seeing Through the Smoke: A Cannabis Expert Untangles the Truth About Marijuana, in quote-tweeting the video. “It can’t possibly be #marijuana/#cannabis; little of this is true.”
Grinspoon concluded that Huberman “needs to find better ‘experts’ to advise him on topic!”
The Dangers of Oversimplification: When Science Meets Social Media
Editor’s picks The entire show, Grinspoon tells Morningpicker, was not only full of “outdated anti-cannabis stereotypes” about users watching cartoons and gorging on pizza, but contained errors of fact. He takes issue, for example, with Huberman’s claim that cannabis will “almost always” cause memory deficits, including long-term memory problems.
“It can sometimes transiently affect some types of short-term memory at high doses for some people,” Grinspoon says. “It doesn’t cause any long-term deficits.” He also adds that contrary to Huberman’s description, it “doesn’t ‘shut down the hippocampus,’” a component of the brain important for memory functions.
The Stakes of Scientific Miscommunication
The Impact on Public Health: Shaping Perceptions and Decisions
Matthew Hill, a Ph.D. in behavioral neuroscience and professor at the University of Calgary’s Cumming School of Medicine who has studied the endocannabinoid system (a transmitter network in humans that is directly affected by cannabis) for more than two decades, had strong words for Huberman when he saw the video segment making the rounds on X. “Holy fucking shit, it is actually disturbing how inaccurate the overwhelming majority of what is said here is,” he tweeted.
Speaking to Morningpicker, Hill says that he listened to the original Huberman Lab episode when it came out and had forgotten how “egregious” some of it was. “It’s not even that it’s misrepresenting” the facts, he says. “He was just kind of saying stuff that — there isn’t research on this.” Hill is dismayed that Huberman is now the celebrity face of neuroscience despite others in the discipline being fed up.
The Erosion of Trust: When Authority Figures Go Wrong
When influential figures spread misinformation, it can have a profound impact on public trust in science. This can lead to people making decisions based on incomplete or inaccurate information, potentially harming themselves or others.
Finding Reliable Sources: Navigating the Information Landscape
In an age of information overload, it is more important than ever to be discerning about the sources we rely on. Critical thinking and media literacy are essential skills for navigating the complex and often confusing world of online information.
Beyond the Hype: A Call for Responsible Science Communication
The Importance of Context and Nuance
Science is a complex and constantly evolving field. It is important to present scientific information in a way that is accurate, complete, and nuanced. Oversimplification can lead to misunderstandings and misinterpretations.
The Role of Critical Thinking and Media Literacy
We must all take responsibility for critically evaluating the information we encounter online. This includes being aware of potential biases, checking sources for credibility, and being willing to question information that seems too good to be true.
Empowering Informed Decision-Making
By promoting responsible science communication, we can empower individuals to make informed decisions about their health, well-being, and the world around them. It is a shared responsibility that requires vigilance, critical thinking, and a commitment to accuracy.
