Diana Prata
Somos atraídos pelos méritos das pessoas mas depois ficamos desapontados com os seus defeitos. Mas será que eles não co-existem inevitavelmente? E o contexto interessa? Qual é a probabilidade de emprestares dinheiro a um estranho ou mudares de equipa de futebol que apoias? E tem isto alguma coisa a ver com uma molécula a circular no teu cérebro?

We are attracted by people's merits but then get disappointed at their flaws. But do they inevitably co-exist? Does context matter? How likely are you to lend money to a stranger, or change the football team you support? And does this have anything to do with a molecule circulating in your brain?
