Thank Our Lucky Muons, Dirt is Good for You, and the First Mass Genetic Testing of University Applicants
Why is there something rather than nothing? Because of muons.
Can dirt do a little good? “Exposure to a certain amount of dirt and germs…may help the body build up resistance to disease.”
Does a warm-up improve your athletic performance? Maybe not.
Study: shyness is bad for marriage. Come to think of it, it’s probably bad for most human interactions.
Applicants to Berkeley can submit a DNA swab. The university tests genes that help regulate the ability to metabolize alcohol, lactose and folates.
“shyness is bad for marriage”
It’s interesting that social awkwardness (i.e. shyness) negatively impacts a marriage, where (presumably) a shy partner would be more outgoing.
Dirt is good for you? Mothers of the world unite. You have nothing to lose but your old wives tales.
Does anyone see the irony here? Employers and health plans cannot ask for a DNA swab, but Berkeley can?
Interesting piece on warmups. Basically, nobody knows the answer.
I’ve always thought that dirt was good for you. That’s probably because I was the kid who always managed to find the mud puddles.
Here’s betting that Camus didn’t know what a muon is.
