Researchers Combined Two Enzymes, MHETase and PETase, To Create A Super Enzyme, Which Degrades Plastic 6X Faster Than The Previous Engineered Enzyme, PETase. This Innovation Has Implications In Quickly Degrading The Most Commonly Used Thermoplastics, Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET), Which Takes 100s Of Years To Degrade In The Environment.

A Recent Study Shows That Plants Can Absorb Nanoplastics Via Their Roots. And The Plastics Could Block The Roots From Properly Absorbing Water; Prevent Plants From Growing Properly And Harming Seedling Development; Alter The Genetic Makeup Of Plants, Making It Impossible To Resist Disease. It’s Also Concerning Because We Eat Plants.

A New Study, Involving Five Men And Five Women, Is Stating That It Takes The Brain About 100-300 Milliseconds To Recognize A Familiar Song. The Study Result Is Indicative Of How Fast The Temporary Circuitry Is In The Brain, And Also The Deep Hold That Music Has On Our Memory, Which May Be Leveraged In Dementia Therapy.

Science Says…

Scientists Are Stating That Our Brain Decides What We See By Getting Rid Of Information That’s Distracting Or Less Useful, In Order To Make The More Relevant Inputs Stand Out. In Order Words, The Brain Lets Certain Kinds Of Stimuli, Based On E.g, Motion Or Brightness, To Automatically Capture Our Attention Relative To Rest. Hmm!

Many Tea Producers Use Polypropylene To Seal Their Bags, And Now Researchers Have Found That Brewing A Single Of These Tea Bags Could Shed About 11.6B Microplastics, And 3.1B Smaller Nanoplastics, Into The Cup–Amounts 1000sX Higher In Any Food Or Drinks Previously Discovered. Hopefully, The Micro-Nanoplastics Don’t Pose Any Health Risk!?
