Starting with some art…
Does anyone have kids? With the end of summer being in full swing we have had the hardest time getting get back into a normal bedtime. My youngest in particular (who is represented by this illustration), is more than likely going to be a night owl because they never go to bed. I hope you all are getting more sleep than we do in our house and that your week was a great one.
Now to the Good News…
A Black-Led Video Game Company Mentors Over 500 Diverse Developers
I love playing video games. They are a great way to unwind and escape into another world of fun and adventure. Especially when you can actualize the imaginations of artists and developers to create amazing worlds. The problem in the industry as it stands is that it is not well represented by a diverse collection of voices. The upside is that companies like 3D Dojo Studios exist to elevate more diverse voices in an industry that greatly needs more amazing and talented people from all backgrounds and walks of life.
Scientists Just Stumbled Upon The Secret Way Color-Changing Fish Recognize Themselves
Scientists have been studying how and why sea life changes colors and it seems like they may have control as well as be able to identify the change in others. By studying the hogfish they discovered a specialized set of photoreceptors that are hidden under the color-changing cells. This shifting pigment is used for socializing as well as camouflage and it apparently also helps them perceive the color change. The sensory feedback reveals the intelligence of the animals to know if something is the color it is supposed to be. Who doesn’t love cool science like this?
4 Lemon Water Benefits That Are Actually Backed By Science
There are plenty of claims about the benefits of lemon water. Here are a few that actually have science backing them up. One is the Hydration, two is the added digestive benefits, three is early science that shows a positive cognitive benefit, and finally the vitamin C immune boost. Personally, I like that if I just add lemon to my water there aren’t a crazy number of additives that I don’t know what they will do to my body. The added flavor makes me more inclined to grab a glass of H2O as well.
Thank you so much for joining me on my journey.
