It feels like momentum is really building here — so hi! I’m Sam, a former scientist turned science journalist and exec producer of the podcast Tiny Matters. It’s early Saturday and I’m tired, so that’s all for now, but here’s a pic of my dogs giving “don’t talk about my child that way” energy

In my latest for @washingtonpost.com, I chatted with researchers to unpack the importance of play in the animal kingdom and how tickling rats (it’s truly very cute, scroll for photo) is teaching us a lot about the regions of our brain that control play www.washingtonpost.com/wellness/202...
