📢 Study update! We are about 2/3 of the way through the #Behavioural #Immunity study! 🧠📊 Our high schoolers have been buzzing with activity. This journey has been all about uncovering how perceived #health #risks influence #social #interactions. The data is flowing, the insights are growing, and we are inching closer to understanding how social behaviour and health perceptions intertwine.

Thanks to everyone who has been part of the study so far. You are powering some truly fascinating science (despite occasionally forgetting to return your #proximity #sensors and taking them home for a little adventure 😅). Our sensors are great at collecting data—when they’re not crying out for a charge, that is. Check out the picture of our masterful charging #cable #management!

In tonight’s tutorial, we talked about how psychology makes sense of emotions like love. Is it all subjective? Maybe not as much as you think. Love can be studied scientifically—not just through brain scans showing neurotransmitters like dopamine and oxytocin but also through observable behaviours.

Take reciprocity: when someone likes us, we’re more likely to like them back. Or similarity: shared values, interests, and beliefs often strengthen attraction. Add proximity and familiarity—the magic of repeated exposure—and you start seeing how relationships form. Then there’s complementarity: where differences between people don’t divide but balance and enhance connection.

What fascinates me is how psychology bridges the personal and the universal. Yes, love feels deeply subjective, but studies show patterns we can test and measure—observing behaviours, tracking emotional responses, and using physiological data to explore what we feel.

Have you noticed these dynamics in your relationships? #Psychology #Love #Relationships #Emotions #Reciprocity #Similarity #Proximity #Familiarity #Complementarity

Is there a way to #encrypt #proximity?

Basically some way of encoding location so that, if two places are close to each other, you can immediately make out, but if they aren't you can't pinpoint where exactly the location is 📍

Don't know if that's mathematically possible, but if it were it'd be cool 📐

It's interesting that the sun provides us with so much life energy considering that if we were to get any closer to it, it would not hesitate to kill us, not even for a second.

Perhaps this is a parable about relationships too. Perhaps some relationships are bit like magnets too.

PubMed Update: Proximity Search Now Available in PubMed
This is good news and will be a big help with phrase searching. A few key points: proximity can’t be combined with truncation; proximity function is limited to Title and Title/Abstract fields, but can be combined with MeSH terms using Boolean operators. Thanks to a few colleagues for the posts over on the Bird site. Now to do some testing and playing around. #PubMed #medlibs #proximity

Using BLE for something it was not designed to do.

"[A] researcher has devised a hack that allows him to unlock millions of Teslas—and countless other devices—even when the authenticating phone or key fob is hundreds of yards or miles away."
