Depending on skin color, it’ll take only minutes of exposure to turn one person beetroot-pink, while another requires hours to experience the slightest change. What’s to account for that difference, and how did our skin come to take on so many different hues to begin with? Angela Koine Flynn describes the science of skin color."

Two thirds of the population believes a myth that has been propagated for over a century: that we use only 10% of our brains. Hardly! Our neuron-dense brains have evolved to use the least amount of energy while carrying the most information possible -- a feat that requires the entire brain. Richard E. Cytowic debunks this neurological myth (and explains why we aren't so good at multitasking).

" Why is there a stigma associated with our brain's health? Consider that

the brain is the most powerful, most staggeringly complex

electro-biochemical machine ever created. Above and behind our eyes are

100 billion neurons in a small calcium shell, laced with organic pumps,

channels and switches. Until recently, this complicated organ was thought

to be static and unchangeable. Far from it. Learn from Dr. Sandra Bond

Chapman, founder and chief director of the Center for BrainHealth at The

University of Texas at Dallas seven scientifically-validated secrets

anyone can implement to improve brain performance."
