...elderly patients with dementia who were exposed to bright lights in long-term care facilities scored 5% better on cognitive tests and had 19% fewer depressive symptoms than similar patients residing in less well-lit facilities. In the study, Van Someren's group used 1,000-lux bulbs in overhead lights, which is equivalent to the brightness of television studio lights, and compared their effects to those of 300-lux bulbs, which are found in office and retail settings. "I was surprised by the results on cognition," says Van Someren. "I had expected, based on previous studies, that we would...
...point is, while we are stuck in the Harvard bubble, it is easy to become so wrapped up in personal goals that we forget to smell the proverbial roses, or read overhead signs carved in stone.

...fleet of relatively inexpensive spacecraft (a few hundred million dollars apiece, which is tag-sale prices by spaceship standards) NASA has launched toward Mars in the last dozen years. The Mars Express and Mars Odyssey orbiters have done the true yeoman's work, extensively mapping the planet from high overhead. The Sojourner, Spirit and Opportunity rovers have made the headlines, toddling around in the soil of the Red Planet and sending back portfolios of pictures. But it's Phoenix that could make the most thrilling discoveries...
