A Car crash Snaps the Daydreaming Mind into Focus.

One researcher's poorly timed attention lapse flipped a car. And this article introduced us why.

Question: Why we lose our concentration after doing a thing for a long time?

Experiment: Let participant do the same thing repeatedly and the researchers monitored participants' brain waves by EEG to observe their neural rhythms.

Finding: The brain is blanketed by slow waves of synchronized neural activity.

As a result, we would be influenced by this slow waves so that we lose our concentration.

Math and Sleuthing Help to Explain Epidemics of the Past

One mathematician has spend decades uncovering the deadly calculations of pestilence and plague, sometimes finding data that were hiding in plain sight. First: Collect Historic document Second: plot out the number of cases, over time, for an individual epidemic, and we will see an exponential rise. Third: By the above data, we can get the rate of transmission and the ways pandemics can spread. In this way, we can estimate growth rates and doubling times for COVID-19. 參考資料:https://www.scientificamerican.com/podcast/episode/math-and-sleuthing-help-to-explain-epidemics-of-the-past/
