Or should you go to sleep? Shai Marcu defends the latter option, showing how sleep restructures your brain in a way that’s crucial for how our memory works.

Outstanding Youth
Spotlight on Je'lon Steward
From the beginning of his internship, it was clear that Je’lon Stewart was someone special. He stood out right away as smart, dependable, focused, and committed to doing things well. He shows up on time, handles his responsibilities carefully, completes paperwork correctly, and follows through on what is expected of him. He is someone the team can truly count on.
What makes Je’lon even more impressive is the way he uses his strengths. His critical thinking, attention to detail, and ability to work well with others have made him more than just a strong intern. He has become a real asset to the team and someone whose presence makes a difference.
Beyond his skills, Je’lon brings maturity, purpose, and heart to everything he does. He is a joy to be around and a joy to have on the team. He approaches his work with intention, and that says a great deal about the kind of person he is becoming.
Je’lon is absolutely someone to watch. He does not just have talent. He uses it with care, character, and determination, and that combination will take him far.

Two thirds of the population believes a myth that has been propagated for over a century: that we use only 10% of our brains. Hardly! Our neuron-dense brains have evolved to use the least amount of energy while carrying the most information possible -- a feat that requires the entire brain. Richard E. Cytowic debunks this neurological myth (and explains why we aren't so good at multitasking).
