DISCOVER MAGAZINE JULY/AUGUST 2023 - BRAIN TRAINING SECRETS - EXERCISES TO BOOST

Description: Discover is a general audience science magazine. It was originally launched into a burgeoning market for science magazines aimed at educated non-professionals, intended to be easier to read than Scientific American but more detailed and science-oriented than Popular Science. Many famous scientists, including Stephen Jay Gould, Jared Diamond, and Stephen Hawking, have contributed articles to it. It was first published in 1980. The 66-page July/August 2023 issues' cover story is: Mind Games -Brain-training apps fuel a multibillion-dollar industry, but some researchers say that they don't improve your mental functioning in everyday life. Is there a better way to train your brain? Other featured articles include: Breaking the Interspecies Barrier - Transplanting animal hearts and kidneys into humans could end the dire shortage of donor organs. But researchers must still prove they can defeat the specter of long-term rejection. Alphabet Soup - Synthetic DNA has been with us for nearly 50 years. A recent surge in affordability and biotech breakthroughs could seal its place in our future. Young Blood - Putting the benefits of exercise and youth in a pill sounds like the stuff of infomercials. But these researchers may be closer than anyone to harnessing anti-aging benefits found naturally in the bloodstream.
