Turns out, gaming is good for you!
New research from the University of Houston indicates massive multiplayer online gamers learn by gaming, and their skills in the workplace are enriched by those seemingly endless hours previously thought of as frittering away time.

Athletes have better working memory
A recently published meta-analysis reveals an advantage in sports-related information-processing compared to non-athletes. The data consisted of 21 studies involving a total of 1455 participants. Athletes had better working memory than non-athletes and this advantage was further enhanced when athletes were compared to sedentary people.
Athletics enhances overall circulation of mental energy. Sports improves teamwork skills, an important aspect of mental fitness.
Cannabis for our autoimmune epidemic
Sleep deprivation, workaholism, and the worship of speed and busyness account for the long and growing list of autoimmune disorders afflicting and killing Americans since the 1970s.
The remedy I know is cannabis, smokable or edible. Cannabis offers pain relief, restful healing sleep, and a positive mood. In my opinion, the only cure for an autoimmune condition is cannabis combined with weekly wellness coaching sessions, until unhealthy habits are replaced with healthy ones.
Scientists create a mouse from ancient unicellular genes
An international team of researchers at the Queen Mary University of London has achieved an unprecedented milestone: the creation of mouse stem cells capable of generating a fully developed mouse using genetic tools from a unicellular organism, with which we share a common ancestor that predates animals.
By the turn of the decade, medicine will be able to use your stem cells to recreate any organ or tissue in your body that needs fixing or replacement. Think about what this means for the human race.
