Dyslexia has long been associated with difficulty in reading. But, recent research has shown that some people with the condition can solve puzzles and understand optical illusions better. So, why is this and what does it mean for future research on this disorder?
Hey! You look good

Ever wonder why some people just seem to glow with health? No, it’s not a filter or some secret Hollywood lighting trick. (OK, for some people it is.) But for the lucky ones, it’s what’s happening inside their body. And one of the biggest factors? Collagen.
Collagen is the most abundant protein in your body, acting like the scaffolding that holds everything together. It’s the glue that keeps your skin firm, your hair shiny, your nails strong and your joints feeling smooth.
“What’s the catch, Kim?” Your body naturally produces less collagen as you age. That’s why by your 30s or 40s, you probably started noticing fine lines, thinning hair, brittle nails or achy joints.
Can you really boost collagen?
The good news? You can fight back. Studies show high-quality collagen supplements can help support skin elasticity, promote stronger hair and nails, and even keep your joints feeling their best. Some research even suggests collagen may help maintain bone density as you get older.
Here’s why: When you take a collagen supplement, your body breaks it down into amino acids that it can use to rebuild and repair. It’s like giving your skin, hair and joints the raw materials they need to stay strong. Think of it as a renovation project for your body, except instead of patching up drywall, you’re reinforcing your skin and bones. I know, what an image!
Not all collagen is created equal
If you’re going to add collagen to your routine, quality matters. I recommend NativePath Collagen. It’s made from 100% grass-fed bovine collagen peptides, which are easily absorbed and put to work by your body. No fillers, no junk, just pure, powerful support for your skin, hair, nails and joints.

Things that were discovered by accident
The path of science is often a slow one, taking years of research and effort to bring ideas to life. Every once in a while, luck strikes and something new is suddenly born. And you won’t believe it, but some of the most important inventions in history were actually discovered by mistake.
You might need this: OpenAI’s fancy ChatGPT deep research agent pulls info from multiple sources but takes 30 minutes per search. It’s coming to Free and Plus tiers pretty soon, not just the $200-per-month option. The catch? Plus users get 10 prompts a month and Free users get two. I’ve mentioned before this is great to use with medical issues, business ideas and just about anything that needs a ton of research.
🎈 American tech spying on Americans: It turns out the 200-foot-tall Chinese spy balloon shot down two years ago was packed with U.S. tech from at least five American companies, including Iridium Communications, Texas Instruments, Omega Engineering, Amphenol All Sensors and Onsemi. China claims it was a weather research airship that accidentally strayed into U.S. territory. Yeah, right.
💻 The nerd in me loves this: The world’s fastest supercomputer just went online at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California. The $600 million El Capitan is powered by 44,544 AMD chips. Its job is to secure the U.S. nuclear stockpile, run national security research and crunch other classified tasks. How fast is it? Its peak performance is 2.746 exaflops. That’s about 69 million times faster than a top-of-the-line MacBook.
Hey, overachievers: OpenAI’s new “deep research” ChatGPT agent is like a super-smart assistant that does all the work for you. It digs through multiple sources and creates a full report about whatever you want. It’s included in the $20 Pro tier for now and takes up to 30 minutes per search. Want to try it? Select Deep research in the composer.
Mystery (not) explained: Two months later, the White House says all those drones spotted over New Jersey weren’t foreign enemies or aliens. They were authorized by the FAA for research and “various other reasons.” Uh, what kind of research? No details. And the “various other reasons?” Insert conspiracy theories here.
Drones are back: Folks in the Northeast are seeing more mysterious drones since the FAA lifted its temporary ban. Enigma Labs, a research company studying unidentified phenomena, says they’ve received 49 reports this month alone in New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Virginia and Pennsylvania. I still say they’re hobby drones pulling a prank.
🔬 AI tool to try: Consensus is an AI-powered search engine trained on over 200 million research papers. Want to know more about a study? Search by keywords like “vitamin C and health,” or ask questions like, “How long should I walk every day?” With a free account, you’ll get unlimited searches and 10 AI reports per month. This isn’t an ad; I just think it’s neat!
It kills your brain cells: Glyphosate, the most used weed killer in the world, has been linked to diseases like Alzheimer’s. It’s in Roundup and so many other brands. A new study from Arizona State University (my alma mater!) says the chemical leads to long-term damage, even with brief exposures. The EPA’s stance? Low levels are safe.
