Technicolor Day

Not the band
I got to go to a Positive Psychology presentation today (one of the perks of my job) and one of the interesting things I learned was about the Vagus Nerve. Two different teams of scientists were working on theories about this nerve, one set being in the PP catagory, exploring how that 'warm' feeling we get when we see or experience something beautiful or touching simulates this nerve, and the other team, in the medical catagory, exploring how stimulation of this nerve can help make people feel better. (that's mucho paraphrasing, so don't quote me)
I'm no scientist, I don't even play one on TV, but that's definately one more plug for more beauty in the world.
