A study out of Cornell University in 2013 showed that slicing up an apple and putting the pieces into a plastic bag “greatly increases apple consumption by kids.” In fact, in the schools that made this seemingly random change, kids were eating up to 70 percent more apples than before. Of course, as a rational observer, we all know that there is no real difference between an apple that has been sliced and an apple that has not been sliced....

For the study, scientists at the University of Georgia surveyed 561 parents on their beliefs about mathematics. The questions were along the lines of, Do you think that math ability is something that’s fixed or something that can change over time? Overall, it was fairly common for most parents to believe that math ability can change, displaying what experts call a “growth mindset,” says Michael Barger, Ph.D., an assistant professor of educational psychology at the University of Georgia and one of the lead authors of this study....

“They’ve already started smelling in the womb,” explains Dr. Ann-Sophie Barwich, cognitive scientist and empirical philosopher and historian of science, technology, and the senses at Columbia University. “They’re getting a sense of the mother’s smell from the inside, which is part of why they are recognizing the mother so well when they’re born and it takes longer to recognize the dad by his smell.” Compared to sight, which takes a few months to come into focus, a baby’s sense of smell is remarkably developed from day one....

For most adults, the HPV vaccine won’t have much benefit — but there are exceptions. HPV Vaccine For Adults There are a few reasons why the CDC doesn’t recommend the HPV vaccine to adults older than 26. First, the vaccine simply isn’t as effective in older people, says Lois Ramondetta, M.D., a gynecological oncologist at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. “We believe [younger people’s] immune systems are just more robust,” she says....

The typical value of a U.S. home was $272,446 in February, a 9.9% increase from the same time a year before, according to the latest figures from Zillow. And, for the time being, there aren’t many signs of that trend abating. COVID-19, rather than putting a chill on demand, ended up creating the ideal conditions for homebuyers, says Jeff Tucker, a senior economist with Zillow. While service workers felt the brunt of the employment hardship, many middle- and upper-income earners actually saw their financial health improve thanks to multiple stimulus checks....

In a lengthy new statement from Neal Kirby, the son of Jack Kirby, who famously illustrated the original Captain America comics, Neal denounces the riot.

“The question we need to consider when we talk about spanking is, how should we define hitting that’s okay?” explains Julie Ma, Ph.D., lead researcher of the study and a professor of social work at the University of Michigan-Flint. “If spanking is not physical abuse, how do we define it? The line we’re trying to draw is theoretically impossible.” Ma and her team set out to understand the effects of spanking as compared to adverse childhood experiences, or ACEs....

Needless to say, Steve’s return was well received, as many grown adults felt comforted and like he was telling them exactly what they needed to hear, just like he used to do when they were kids.

Considering that many public health officials say that vaccinating children is the key to finally reaching herd immunity in the U.S., or at least slowing the spread of COVID-19 and therefore the growth of variants, these findings mean that dads have an important role to play in advocating for vaccination in their own families. But the study — which is also broadly focused on childhood vaccinations, and support for mandatory vaccinations for school attendance — has broad implications for other vaccines as well....

Past studies have compared cartoons that follow a narrative form to cartoons that are more manic and less structured and found kids were better at recapping the details of narrative stories. When they watched non-narrative cartoons, their recollections were more limited to simple descriptions like “it was about fighting.” Other research indicates that children’s ability to construct their own narratives increases with age, so exposing them to the structure could be developmentally significant....

The Morning Consult found that as of January 6, 55 percent of remote workers would seriously consider leaving their job rather than heading back to the office if they felt it was not safe.
