Really loved the most recent episode of Search Engine talking about the science behind microplastics. Helpful to discern your personal risk, but really appreciated how they dissected how we as humans navigate uncertainty. Well worth a listen!

there will be no scicomm (healthcomm, climatecomm, weathercomm, riskcomm etc.) in a future without science, information, knowledge data and people brave enough to communicate the scientific consensus

Every day, we all make decisions that require us to consider risk, but it can be challenging to communicate risk to others in compassionate, meaningful ways. Join us Aug. 8: buff.ly/2kO29Hr

Mind blown by this Nature paper on dopamine neurons! 🤯 (www.nature.com/articles/s41...) It reveals how our brains map future reward by probability & time. This is HUGE for risk communication – imagine messages tailored to the brain's own "language"! #Neuroscience #RiskComm
