I work with biologists. Biologists don't quite get computer science. They may be super with statistics, but they have no idea how to write programs.

Left-handers have a 3.5 percent greater return to a year of education than right-handers, whose return to a year of education is 4.6 percent; hence left-handers have a return of education of 8.1 percent (= 3.5 + 4.6). We therefore pursue this education difference in detail.

The latest research suggests that while we are peacefully asleep our brain is busily processing the day’s information. It combs through recently formed memories, stabilizing, copying and filing them, so that they will be more useful the next day. A night of sleep can make memories resistant to interference from other information and allow us to recall them for use more effectively the next morning.
