I'm super excited to give my Pint of Science talk today: Wired for connection – how relationships and kindness support mental and physical health 🧠🍺

It's a huge field and hard to know where to start. If you're interested in the use in science, I would recommend this perspective by @lmesseri.bsky.social and @mjcrockett.bsky.social.

What began as a hallway chat at @mrccbu.bsky.social with @idoshal.bsky.social grew to a deep conversation and turned into a BNA insight paper. We explored subjectivity in neuroscience from the voices of ECRs. Endless thanks, dearest Ido, and Nimrod Hertz @britishneuro.bsky.social

Fascinating! Well done, Celia 👏🤩 @celiafoster.bsky.social
