12 Recent Scientific Findings That We Had To Share

Do you remember the scientific method? I know, I know, I’m asking you to dig deep in your middle school education brain. But in case you forgot, scientific research isn’t just “thinking about it” or “listening to Joe Rogan think about it” or even “Googling it.” It’s a process that has been used in science since the 17th century… you might remember the little circular diagram that shows Observation > Research > Hypothesis > Experiment > Analyze > Report. And sometimes even professional scientists make mistakes, which is why it all has to be peer-reviewed. 

Every day, new research studies from across the world are published. And every day, we don't blame you for being too busy to check up on them. So, fear not, we read the papers so you didn't have to in order to find the most interesting updates from the scientific communities of the past few weeks. (Just please don't base any life decisions or political stances on our summaries… at least pull up the original study first.)
