The myth of junk food-eating gamers is actually about social hunger—and gender, say researchers
Gamers are often associated with unhealthy diets, messy living spaces and at times asocial lifestyles. While the gamer stereotypes first mentioned have some basis in reality, this is not necessarily for the reasons we thought. This, according to new.....»»
A single cell"s siesta: How non-moving single-celled organisms manage to avoid bright light
Too much of a good thing is no good at all. Living organisms enjoy sunlight—in fact, they need it to stay alive—but they tend to avoid light that is too bright. Animals go to their shelter, humans have a siesta, even plants have mechanisms to avo.....»»
