  • How Octopuses Taste Things Just By Touching Them

    Among their many unique talents, octopuses can taste objects with a mere touch of a suction-cup-covered tentacle. According to Gizmodo, a team of researchers has finally gotten to the bottom of how these cephalopods perform this mysterious feat. They discovered a distinct population of cells located on the tips of the suckers, which they named 'chemotactile receptors.' A second type of cell within the suction cups converts mechanical stimulation into signals the brain can understand as touch, among other senses. The nervous system of an octopus is distributed, in which the arms contain two-thirds of its total neurons and can function independently from the brain. That's why a severed octopus arm can still try to reach out and grab things. Yikes!

  • If You Really Knew What's On Your Hands, You'd Wash Them More Often

    In the 1840s, a Hungarian doctor noticed that when doctors performed autopsies and then helped women give birth, it led to a higher death rate among the mothers. Dr. Ignaz Semmelweis then implemented chlorine handwashing practices throughout the hospital, and death rates dropped significantly. According to Business Insider, at any given time, every person's hands are covered with a few 100,000 to several million germs--all of them constantly on the move. Staph infections, bacterial infections, cold and flu viruses, and of course the dreaded novel coronavirus COVID-19 can all enter the body via the hands. Given that one study showed people touch their faces roughly 20 times an hour, it makes sense to be a frequent, and thorough, hand-washer. Wash your entire hands with running water for at least 20 seconds, scrubbing everywhere--including under the nails.
