Sci's not a big celebrator of Valentine's Day. Instead, I prefer to celebrate February 15th, when all the awesome chocolate will be 50% off. If you all are very unlucky I will post photos of the truly massive haul I'm planning.
But for those of you in to Valentine's Day, Stanford has a fun idea. They will have an expert on hand to answer questions about the neuroscience of pain and how love may affect it, and they are asking you to tweet in their questions. Tweet @SUMedicine and include the hashtag #AskSUMed, and see what they have to say! Seems like a fun way to celebrate Valentine's Day with Science!
