No, not goats…though most kids ARE the greatest of all time. When did it happen? It was a slow, subtle process, insidiously sneaking into our psyche through safety recalls kid-proofing cereal prizes, designated child-safe areas creating the illusion that OTHER areas are…well, that very thing: other. And what’s more frightening than THAT?? But, otherness is what we need more of in this carbon-copied cacophony we call Civilization. Let the children be children, messy, loud, alive!! Go, Buffy!

–Researchers find a way to 3D print whole objects in seconds. Like the tiny boat in the pic. Also, a group of scientists at Harvard’s Wyss Institute have now developed a solution that will 3D print blood vessels on living tissues. Their paper, published today in Science Advances, explains how a new technique called the SWIFT method (Sacrificial Writing Into Functional Tissue), will enable the creation of larger, more effective organs. Sacrificial. Sacri. Ficial. K.
–Curcumin, a polyphenol in turmeric, can selectively target cancer stem cells. Used for thousands of years in ancient Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine, turmeric – thanks to powerful compounds known as curcuminoids – has powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory powers. Over 240 studies have also confirmed that curcumin in turmeric boosts brainpower and lowers the risk of brain diseases; reduces the risk of heart disease; prevents and possibly even helps to treat Alzheimer’s disease; reduces arthritis symptoms; helps ward off depression, and fights the effects of aging. Miracle food, indeed!
