The human brain plays a crucial role not only in our mental health but also in our physical health and overall well-being. By uncovering these 10 interesting facts, we gain a deeper understanding of the brain’s complexity, adaptability and its extraordinary capacity for learning and memory. 1. The Brain acts as the control center for the body's nervous system — coordinating thoughts, movements, emotions and vital functions. (Obviously, it is 😅) 2. The Human Brain consists of approximately 86 billion neurons interconnected by synapses that process and transmit information, emotions and responses. 3. Despite weighing just about 3 pounds (1.4 kg) and making up only 2% of total body weight, the brain is the most energy-demanding organ. 4. About 75% of the brain is made up of water, which is why staying hydrated is essential for optimal brain function and performance. 5. The brain receives around 20% of the body’s oxygen and blood supply— roughly 750 to 1,000 milliliters of blood every...

Every year on November 8, the world observes STEM Day: A Day dedicated to celebrating the impact of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics in our lives and future... But have you ever wondered how this day came into existence and who thought of setting aside a whole day to celebrate STEM? Well, It all started in 2015 when MGA Entertainment, the toy company behind popular brands like L.O.L. Surprise! and Bratz, created STEM Day as a way to encourage kids, especially girls to explore STEM fields through fun curiosity-driven activities. The date, November 8, is a clever nod and numeronym to the word “innovate” (innov8) which emphasizes creativity and invention. Significance of STEM Day You might be wondering why STEM Day Matters, but hope you remember that in today’s world, STEM is everywhere, from the phones we use to the medicine we take, the cars we drive, the bridges we cross and even the water we drink.

In Celebration of World Bicycle Day ( June 3 ), we will be exploring the Environmental impact of Cycling and why it's an excellent choice for a sustainable future. Cycling is an environmental friendly, sustainable and healthy mode of transportation that offers numerous benefits: 1. Reducing Carbon Footprint    Cycling is a zero-emission mode of transportation producing no greenhouse gas(es) or air pollutants. According to the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), “a vehicle emits about 4.6 metric tons CO2 per year” equating to about .96 pounds of CO2 per mile while bicycles emit around .03 pounds per mile (including the emissions produced from manufacturing the bike) and that’s substantially less than even other environmentally friendly alternatives to driving. 2. Air Quality improvement    Cycling also improves air quality by reducing vehicles tailpipes emissions, which release harmful particles, chemicals and gases contributing to air pollution and negatively i...
