DAY NINETY ONE

Why is Adelle so popular? Dopamine! Same with someone i used to know!

Science proves that women no longer need to play dumb to earn their M.R.S.! such a weird article given the educational achievements of the women i've known throughout my life.

CSM provides comprehensive health insurance to its employees. It's an awesome newspaper, so good on them. Sad that Catholic employers are up in arms about providing comprehensive health insurance covering contraceptions for their employees.

liz's mom is adorable.

which reminds me: my dad needs to update his blog more regularly. But if you have a second, read the politics page, which is a bit out of date (updates! updates!):
Everyone knocks W. I have to say that he must have something going for him, since he has been elected at least once.

The Atlantic covers an issue which had been previously explored by RadioLab. Super interesting: the parasites that are within cat feces (the reason that pregnant women aren't supposed to change cat litter) could possibly affect human brains. The reason? They affect rat brains, making rats no longer afraid of the smell of cats - and actually attracted to cat urine - the parasites can only reproduce in cat guts. It may go a bit crazy in people, affecting our brains unintentionally, given that it really just wants to make rats like cats. It's associated with higher rates of schizophrenia, slower reaction times in humans (particularly car accidents), and other reactions - maybe even an attraction to cats, which would be a bit more intentional. Listen and read.
