Racism & The Brain, Rhino Embryos, Handwriting
Today, you\u2019ll learn about how feeling the effects of racism might actually change the victim\u2019s brain chemistry, how scientists have successfully completed the first embryo transfer in an endangered rhino, and how handwriting increases brain connectivity.
