Our brains overreact to what’s most dramatic, not what’s most likely. It’s the availability heuristic—the same reason we fear plane crashes more than heart disease. That's why we're more afraid of AI taking over the world than we are of more likely risks, like algorithmic bias.

If you're facing major changes in your life, keep a healthy mindset. New opportunities, new paths, new perspectives...flow with them. Change doesn't have to be chaos, it can be growth.

Ever notice how quickly you grasp ideas from short videos or infographics? That's microlearning, and your brain LOVES it! Neuroscience shows we process and remember things best in focused bursts. That's how social media works. More people should share knowledge this way.

Neuroscience-based training can sharpen officers' perceptual awareness, a critical factor in enhancing safety and threat detection in the field. #LawEnforcement #OfficerSafety #Neuroscience

This training is revolutionizing safety in the workplace! Check it out.

I've developed a pattern. I look for the latest 'Jon Teaches Sean About His Brain' podcast episode every Wednesday! Just saying...

Speaking of the Met Gala...your brain puts on its own fashion show. Every thought you have gets ‘dressed’ by context, memory, and emotion before stepping onto the red carpet of your awareness.

Loneliness makes us feel bad. It fuels rumination and self-criticism. But even brief, meaningful interactions, like a shared smile, eye contact, or laughter can improve these. If you're feeling isolated and depressed, it's because you're human. Let's reach out to each other more.

Depression traps a person's thoughts in self-focus and rumination. Brains can get stuck. But they can also change and heal. Try connecting with others or seeking therapy. It's hard to take that first step, but it's essential to shift your neural tracks back towards hope.

Now research is showing that microplastics in ultra-processed foods, like chips and soda, may cross the blood-brain barrier, potentially contributing to depression and anxiety. Should I change my snack choices, or am I just too old for it to matter?

That's a massive change in awareness. Exactly what's needed for officer safety.

The fact that science is under fire in the US is surprising, but it's nothing new. Governments and religions have always been afraid of science, which is crazy, because science isn't political or religious. Don't lose hope. Teach. Share. Wonder. Science is still the future.
