Hi, I'm Musta and today I'm telling the story of Biston betularia, a moth that might be able to explain our addiction to the phone. Through its story, we will take a look at one of the most fascinating biological phenomena in nature, from the definition of dopamine and the experiment of primatologist Robert Sapolsky, to comparing social media to gambling.
