TIL: Why Your Brain is Wrinkly

Posted by

The human brain looks like a big, pinkish-gray, wrinkly walnut. There are so many folds in it that, if it could be unfolded, it could be a small tablecloth. Pinkish-gray might not match your decor, but it would be about the right size!

This “tablecloth” is made up of the cerebral cortex and is the wrinkly outside layer of your brain. All those folds are responsible for abstract thought, language, and memory. Scientists believe the wrinkles exist as a way to increase the surface area of the cortex, allowing for increased brainpower in a smaller space.

In this week’s “Today I Learned,” neuroscientist and National Geographic Emerging Explorer Steve Ramirez shares some of his smarts on how your cortex is different from your pet hamster’s.

Photographing the Beauty of Life in the Shadow of War – Nat Geo Live

Posted by

“What if we chose to illuminate the things that unite us as human beings rather than just the things that divide us?” This is the question photojournalist Ami Vitale seeks to answer in her work documenting war zones.

While in Gaza on assignment documenting the second Palestinian uprising, she happened upon a profound moment: a beautiful scene of a couple getting married amid all the chaos and violence upon which she had been asked to train her camera. Vitale wondered why these stories of love and beauty were not being told as well. Hear her talk about how she became a war photographer, and why she chose to focus her lens in a different direction.

Meet the ‘Blood Bikers’ Who Save Lives in the U.K.

Posted by

Every night, expert motorcyclists with the word “BLOOD” written on their reflective jackets speed from hospital to hospital in the United Kingdom to pick up and deliver emergency medical supplies. By day they are electricians, lawyers, priests, and pilots, but by night they are the Blood Bikers. More than 1,500 volunteers provide coast-to-coast coverage, carrying everything from blood, platelets, and plasma to breast milk, vaccines, and surgical equipment.
