Now for a little levity for our brain chemistry. What is new and good this week?

  1. A recent poll of 2,000 Americans over age 21 looked at the positives changes to come from this challenging time—and the ways in which respondents are re-prioritizing what they value. Two-thirds of Americans said quarantine has made them a better person. 55% reported that they were embarrassed about what they valued pre quarantine and the many months spent at home gave 70% a chance to learn more about themselves. Fantastic! Another study showed that 70% said being home more due to COVID-19 made them more aware of their eco-unfriendly behaviors. These eco wake-up calls included becoming more aware of wasting food (44%), using paper products more sparingly (43%) and being more careful about where they buy meat (38%). Huzzah!

  2. This amazing Etsy shop wis now offering custom face masks with your pets snout on it. Goofy? Sure. Awesome? Absolutely.

  3. This dude turned my favorite summer fruits into a synthesizer! In elementary school our science club turned a potato into a lamp and that blew my mind but this is next level. Imagine the possibilities…

Day 232: arugula, tomato and beet salad with avocado, quinoa, chimichurri and a side of watermelon.
