    The ash left behind by the Los Angeles wildfires might be toxic, experts warn

    “We know it’s a lot of emotions and feelings going on that you can put down your guard, but you shouldn’t do that. Just be safe. Be careful. Put all the gear you can — at least an N95 mask, gloves — and stay safe. Because you lost your property. But you don’t want to damage also your health in the longer run.” Mohammed Baalousha, professor, environmental health sciences, University of South Carolina.

    What checking your phone first thing in the morning does to your brain

    “Grabbing your phone and flooding your brain with notifications, social media feeds, or emails overstimulates your prefrontal cortex, which is responsible for decision-making and impulse control. This barrage of information can lead to mental fatigue before you’ve even gotten out of bed, making your mind feel cluttered and less focused for the rest of the day.”
