Not all love stories are about people 💘

Some are about the everyday things we count on — and the science, policy, and public funding that makes them possible.

True love looks like science working for the common good. ✨

A new NIH rule limits researchers to 6 grant applications/year amid 2026 funding uncertainty and a hyper-competitive landscape.

Want to communicate your science more clearly? 🧪

New research shows jargon can make explanations seem complete—but actually reduce understanding. Simpler language helps people see what's missing and better grasp your work.

Scientific jargon can be ‘satisfying’ — but misleading
Research shows that jargon can make weak explanations feel complete by masking their gaps. What can experts do to communicate science effectively to laypeople?
