Don’t you hate when you buy something from a vending machine and it gets stuck? Dopamine tells your brain that the outcome wasn’t what you expected. You've probably heard about dopamine as the "feel-good hormone", but it does so much more!

This is incredibly cool: if you search for a condition that’s affected your family, the site returns stats on how much NIH has done for that disease, *and* a contact form for reaching out to tell your Members of Congress why you want to see them defend NIH.

Pass it on!

A budding movement of scientists is devoting fresh attention to science communication. They’re gathering testimonials, documenting impacts of funding cuts, and building social-media followings. chroni.cl/3FVkYhd
As Cuts Pile Up, Can Scientists Win Back the Public?
A renewed focus on engagement, some researchers say, is urgent and overdue. “When science is sidelined,” one said, “people get hurt.”
