👋 We have noticed that many scientists have moved on from X, and it is important to us to stay engaged in an active network of likeminded researchers. From now on the SBL will focus on BlueSky 🦋, and you can find updates on our research there: bsky.app/profile/socialbrain…

In the meta we performed with @sbl_nin @GazzolaValeria dozens of studies showed being touched, often as a massage, has significant benefits for mental and physical health. With giving a hug having zero cost, shouldn't we just hug more? Did you hug this morning?
