LET’S DANCE:
At the Centre for Interdisciplinary Music Research in Finland, people dance for science. How they dance, researchers theorized, could reveal their current mood and personality traits, such as how extroverted, neurotic, or empathetic they are.
The study: they told 73 participants to dance however they wanted to while listening to eight genres—pop, blues, jazz, country, dance/electronica, metal, rap, and reggae.
As the dancers rocked out to Duran Duran’s pop song “Want You More!” and the rap song “It’s Like That” by Run-DMC and Jason Nevins, motion-capture technology recorded their moves.
Then a computer program assessed the movements of their head, shoulders, sternum, wrists, hips, knees, and other body parts. It was supposed to identify what genre of music each person had boogied to based on their moves.
But the computer guessed with less than 25 percent accuracy.
However, the computer did identify something the scientists didn’t expect: 94 percent of the time, it correctly determined which person was dancing, no matter what the genre. It turns out that whether you’re swinging to jazz or boot-scootin’ to country, your moves are similar—and identifiable.
The study, which is aptly titled “Dance to Your Own Drum,” was conducted by Dr. Emily Carlson.
She wants to investigate further, wondering “whether our movement signatures stay the same across our life span, whether we can detect differences between cultures based on these movement signatures, and how well humans are able to recognize individuals from their dance movements.
COOKING WITH SHERRY
If you’ve ever cooked with “cooking sherry,” you might know that it is regular sherry (fortified wine) with salt added.
Why would anyone add salt to sherry? Cooking has nothing to do with it. The salt was added to get around Prohibition, which banned the production, importation, transportation, and sale of alcoholic beverages from 1920 to 1933.
But the ban only applied to alcohol that was drinkable, and sherry producers realized that if they added enough salt to their product to make it undrinkable, they could continue to sell it.
Prohibition ended in 1933…so why does cooking sherry still have salt in it?
So that it can be sold in grocery stores that don’t have liquor licenses."

PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT:
3-D printers are revolutionizing the medical field with intricate models that can be made quickly, cheaply, and accurately.
This is one of the technological advancements that made it possible for Cleveland Clinic surgeons to perform the country’s first total face transplant in 2017.
Patient Katie Stubblefield, 21, survived a self-inflicted gunshot wound to her face from a suicide attempt when she was a teenager, and was left terribly disfigured.
She had no nose and was unable to see, speak, or eat.
After three years of planning and preparation, Stubblefield’s doctors were ready when a suitable female donor died in 2017.
There was no room for error in one of the most complicated surgeries ever attempted:
Working against the clock, experts printed detailed 3-D models of both the patient’s and donor’s skulls, and used the models and virtual-reality technology to rehearse the surgeries until they felt they were ready to proceed with the real thing.
Then, in a 31-hour procedure, a team of 11 surgeons removed both faces and attached the donor’s face to Stubblefield’s head, reconnecting its muscles, nerves, and capillaries.
The surgery was a success. Stubblefield regained the ability to eat, talk, and breathe through her nose, and her vision is improving.
It’s thanks in large part to printing technology that such a difficult surgery could even be attempted in the first place.
