Dopamine Shop editorial team

This team writes in plain language about the psychology of shopping, personal budgets and home cooking. Every article cites published research or named institutions. We are not doctors, psychologists or financial advisers — nothing here is advice. [Owner note: assign a real named author and a human reviewer before launch — §13.3.]
