Andrew D. Huberman is an American podcaster and neuroscientist. He is associate professor of neurobiology at Stanford University School of Medicine. He is best known for hosting the Huberman Lab podcast, which he started in 2021. The podcast has been ranked among the top 10 podcasts on Apple Podcasts and Spotify and has more than 3.5 million subscribers on YouTube.[2][3] Huberman has been criticized for promoting the dietary supplements and multivitamins sold by his podcast sponsors.[4][2]

Education

He received a B.A. from the University of California, Santa Barbara, in 1998, an M.A. from the University of California, Berkeley, in 2000, and a PhD in neuroscience from the University of California, Davis, in 2004.[5] He completed his postdoctoral training at Stanford, in 2010, working in the lab of Ben Barres.[6]

Academic career

From 2011 to 2015, Huberman was an assistant professor of neurobiology and neuroscience at University of California, San Diego. In 2016, Huberman moved to Stanford.

Podcast

In 2021, Huberman launched the Huberman Lab podcast. In episodes lasting several hours, Huberman talks about the state of research in a specific topic, both within and outside his specialty. By 2023, the podcast had become the 6th most popular podcast in the US on Spotify platforms, while his YouTube channel had 3.5 million subscribers and his Instagram account 4.2 million.[2][7][8] He was originally inspired to start the podcast after his appearance on the Lex Fridman Podcast.[9][10] The podcast has featured scientists, medical doctors and other well-known podcasters, including Karl Deisseroth, Lex Fridman, Matthew Walker, Robert Sapolsky, Alia Crum, Charles Zuker and Peter Attia.[11]

Huberman's social media communications have been criticized as being akin to biohacking, hyping preliminary results of animal studies as having potential applications for human performance enhancement. The podcast heavily advertises dietary supplements and multivitamins, some of which are promoted directly by Huberman.[2][4]

Huberman also raised eyebrows when he appeared on programs that frequently platform health misinformation and promoted the appearance of a 2024 presidential candidate and prolific spreader of anti-vaccine sentiment Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on the The Joe Rogan Experience.[2]
