Your Brain on Misinformation

Welcome to the week.

Apologies for the delay this week, I was off last week and have been working through heaps of emails and any news that I missed!

In case you missed it: We published our 2024 Charitable Giving Guide last week! If you’re looking for organizations to donate to before the end of the year, these are the best of the best.

Ok, let’s get back up to speed.

This week:

• ⚡️Accelerated clean energy spending

• 🐮Antibiotics in livestock

• 🥛Testing milk

• 🌡️ AI weather predictions

• And more

Have a great week,
