Your brain loves a good story. There is a distinct chemical reaction that happens in one’s brain when they’re reading a compelling or interesting story. According to a recent study published by the Harvard Business Review , a “trust chemical” is produced by your brain called Oxytocin, when you meet new people who you can identify as trustworthy. And of course, it all starts with the brain. Now, this might sound a little strange, but it’s true.

The event promised an after-hours look at their special exhibition Brain: The Inside Story , a chat with its curators, a behind-the-scenes tour of the museum, and an opportunity to meet other fans of AMNH. Note from Beth: Hosting events for your network – where they can meet offline – can be a terrific away to build your network.

I don't know exactly what they're called, but I hate those new Facebook auto-bot-stupid generated pages. No one creates them, they're just generated by Facebook around a term or idea and it auto--bot-stupid aggregates content around the topic or idea and it auto-bot-stupid suggests to folks (who are neither bots nor stupid) to like the page. . Long ago I submitted the official page for the auto-bot-stupid page created for C3. But has it changed?
