Links!---Why Reading Protects Your Brain, & How Glow-in-the-Dark Trees May Light the Future
You know how I'm always talking about how there's a 75% decrease in your chance of Alzheimer's if you're a ballroom dancer? How ballroom dancing, bridge, chess, and puzzles are your best defense?
Add reading to that. A 32% less chance for lifelong readers.
Damn, we should be healthier....
And then there's the glow-in-the-dark tree gang. I was swamped in the spring, so I missed all the Kickstarters including this one, but we're talking almost a half-million dollars to develop trees that could replace street lights, giving us a soft, ambient glow to a nighttime street. It's an exciting idea, although I am a little taken aback at how easy he predicts this has become.
As he says, the scary stuff will eventually arise. For now, we get glowing cats and small trees!
In the meantime? Read a book.
