Fact Blast!
The Human Brainโs Electricity
The human brain generates about 20 watts of electrical powerโenough to power a dim light bulb.
- Neurons communicate via electrical impulses at speeds up to 268 mph (432 km/h).
- Your brain has ~86 billion neurons, each forming thousands of connections.

Mystery Lab!
The Wow! Signal
In 1977, a powerful radio signal from space was detected by Ohioโs Big Ear telescope. Lasting 72 seconds, it matched no known natural phenomenon. To this day, its origin remains unexplainedโwas it aliens, or something else?
Not all answers exist...yet.

Med Matrix!
The Power of Aspirin
What it is: Aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) is a pain reliever, anti-inflammatory, and blood thinner.
Fun Fact: Originally derived from willow bark!
Did You Know?
Low-dose aspirin can prevent heart attacks by stopping blood clots.
Basic med Intel.
Always remember "self-med = self-harm"

Broken Science!
Alcohol keeps you warm in cold weather.
Why itโs wrong: Alcohol dilates blood vessels, creating a feeling of warmth but actually increasing heat loss. This can lead to hypothermia in cold environments.
Rise above. Know better.

Fact Blast!
The Smell of Rain Has a Name
Fact: The earthy scent after rain is called petrichor.
Details:
- Itโs caused by geosmin, a chemical released by soil bacteria.
- Humans are extremely sensitive to geosminโwe can detect it at 5 parts per trillion!
