“Our spouse has replaced a lot of what we used to look to our broader social network to help us do.”
Psychologist @EliJFinkel says marriages have become “all-or-nothing” relationships. He argues that if we want to save the institution of marriage, we must update our expectations of it. This week, we revisit an episode all about how marriage has changed over the years— and how we can make it better.

Just saw someone saying using the em-dash is a sign of something being written by AI, because real people rarely use it. This is terrible news for everyone like me who has an unhealthy emotional attachment to the em-dash.

A personal story about how the potential grant funding freeze might affect science. Right now, I'm in my fourth year of a 5-year NIH grant and my last year of funding is supposed to start February 1st. I'm supporting a postdoc, two graduate students, and two lab managers

I know millennials get a bad rap for being corny and too into BuzzFeed quizzes and identifying way too hard with Hogwarts Houses but we’ve been dealt a horrible hand and turned out to be the best generation
