Written by Joyce Smith, BS. This study found no substantial difference in the number of COVID-19 cases among students or staff in school districts that implemented a distancing policy of three versus six feet between students, and therefore, does support the return of students to classrooms where physical infrastructure allows for only three feet of distancing.

Written by Joyce Smith, BS. This study found that quercetin and 3,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid (DHBA), two phytonutrients commonly found in apples, are pro-neurogenic, not only by activating precursor cell proliferation but also by promoting cell cycle exit, cellular survival, and neuronal differentiation.
