Generosity is Our Natural State

Sometimes, a journal article reaches my desk that’s worth sharing, even though it isn’t directly brain-related.  The title from a Science Daily summary of the study says it all: “People try to do right by each other, no matter the motivation, study finds.”  The research was done at Ohio State and published in the journal Science Advances, and it shows that people are basically generous in nature.  In the midst of 2020, this seems like a good reminder of what the optimistic among us already believe.  You can find the study here.
