Some wonderbringers for me this week:
The pain of perfectionism: “I can’t stand it when people talk about perfectionism as something positive. They don’t realize the deep human toll.”
Why North Carolina is the most linguistically diverse U.S. state: And what Reconstruction, poverty and the boll weevil crisis has to do with it.
Watch: We are one step closer to understanding whales. What now? CETI scientists have revealed that not only do sperm whale vocalizations sound like human vowels, they also behave like them, revealing pattern-like structures across several linguistic dimensions.
Wondermaker of the week: Aaron Beggs, the Northern Irish runner who helped a man who collapsed trying to finish the Boston Marathon: “I just did it because I felt it was the right thing to do at that time. You’re just trying to be a nice human. It’s nice to be nice and help people out.”
With wonder,
