Ben Rein, PhD

Always uplifting to chat 😁 Your wisdom and optimism are invaluable. Keep being you!

Feeling sunnier about the future of scicomm after a catch-up with @dr-brein.bsky.social. It's hard to stay motivated seeing all the pushback against real research. But the fear of science is nothing new, and getting access to our audience is half the battle. We have the tools to make a change.

Ah, in my very first post I’ve somehow made a mistake. Why is there a link to this website??

Howdy, BlueSky!

I’m Ben Rein. I’m a scientist who has studied the neurobiology of social behavior at Stanford and elsewhere.

I also create educational videos for an audience of >1M on social media. I go by “Dr. B Rein” 🧠online as that’s how I’m listed on my scientific papers.

Excited to be here!
