General

[email protected]: General inquiries, partnership questions, and anything that doesn't fit the categories below.
[email protected]: Same inbox as hello. Either one works.
[email protected]: Site access issues, questions about a feature, general help.

Editorial

[email protected] or [email protected]: Story ideas, feedback on published entries, requests to feature a page in a course or classroom, and other editorial questions.
[email protected]: Factual errors, out-of-date guidance, broken links, typos, or suggested clarifications. Include the page URL. See our full corrections policy.
[email protected]: Expert contributor applications from licensed clinicians and credentialed researchers. Read the contributor policy first for eligibility and the ten-item application packet.

Press and business

[email protected]: DMCA notices, trademark questions, and other legal correspondence. Copyright takedown procedure is documented at /copyright/.

Privacy and data

[email protected]: GDPR requests, CCPA requests, cookie questions, and any other privacy inquiry. See the privacy policy for our full data practices and the cookies policy for what runs in the browser.
[email protected]: Data protection officer intake for formal privacy requests from EU and UK residents. This is the same inbox as privacy, so use whichever address fits your organization's process.

Security

[email protected]: Responsible disclosure of security vulnerabilities. Please describe the issue in text; don't send exploit code or test payloads by email. We'll acknowledge receipt and open a private channel if a back-and-forth is needed. Our machine-readable policy lives at /.well-known/security.txt.

Mailing address

For paper correspondence that genuinely needs a physical address (subpoenas, DMCA notices under 17 U.S.C. §512, formal legal service), email [email protected] first and we'll respond with the current service address.

What to expect back

Press on deadline, 24 hours. Corrections, within a few days if it's a clear factual fix, longer if the change has to go back through medical review. Contributor applications, 21 days per our contributor policy. Legal and security, within a few business days for acknowledgment, longer for substantive response depending on the matter. General mail gets answered as bandwidth allows and isn't guaranteed a personal reply.
