PubMed Trivia

About

Mission

PubMed Trivia turns peer-reviewed research from PubMed โ€” the U.S. National Library of Medicine's database โ€” into short, accurate trivia for curious general readers. We focus on review articles and meta-analyses in psychology and biology.

Topics we cover

  • Psychology, sleep, memory, learning, and decision-making
  • Animal behavior, evolutionary biology, ecology, anthropology
  • Lifestyle and health associations (not medical advice)

Editorial standards

  • We use review articles and meta-analyses rather than single case reports or retracted studies.
  • We never confuse association with causation. We translate carefully.
  • Japanese and English versions are written independently from the source abstract, not via double-translation.
  • Drafting is assisted by Anthropic's Claude API.
  • Every article links to the original paper via PMID.
