🐭 Mice performing first aid? #Science says yes! When a fellow mouse passes out, others sniff, nudge, and even pull its tongue – seemingly trying to revive it.

What drives this? Transcendent altruism? Or maybe... mom’s meatballs? 🤔 Nope. #Oxytocin.

Are we just biochemical puppets? Or should we start prescribing oxytocin to certain... empathy-challenged individuals?

Mouse behaviors toward an unconscious peer.
Mice exhibit a stereotypic set of behaviors when encountering an unconscious social partner, reminiscent of human emergency responses. The behavioral reactions escalate from sniffing and grooming to intense stimulatory actions such as mouth biting and tongue pulling during extended periods of unresponsiveness. These reviving-like actions facilitate the recipient’s recovery. https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adq2677

«Video games do harm!» shouts the angry mob of parents, teachers, and apparently pediatricians too. But is it true? As the Bard, Calvin's dad, Weight Watchers, and even Bon Jovi say: too much of a good thing can be a bad thing. 🧵👇

Yes! I made it into the Encyclopedia of Heroism Studies! (at least as an author).

It gives an overview of different approaches to study Civil Courage. I hope it encourages scholars to deal with this in their teaching and to set up some good studies on this.

Practitioners and policy makers are in need for more scientific studies, to support and continue to improve the daily impact of their work (!).
