Theater could immersive neuroscience
By Hicbd
"Co-created by Academy, Grammy, and Tony Award-winning artist David Byrne and writer Mala Gaonkar, Theater of the Mind is a new theatrical experience you’ll see, feel, taste and hear. Follow your Guide as they revisit key moments in their life in a surreal, 15,000-square-foot installation with a group of just 16 audience members. Over 75 minutes, you’ll move through a series of rooms where you’ll participate in thought-provoking neuroscience experiments. You’ll learn how easily your own senses can deceive you. If perception and memory are both malleable, then perhaps even your identity is less fixed than you think…"

Amusement parks could be designed by contemporary artists
By Hicbd
"Luna Luna was an open-air museum and amusement park in Hamburg, West Germany that ran from June 4 to August 31, 1987. Curated by Austrian artist André Heller, it was an attempt to "create a terrain of modern art, than in centuries-old principal of the fairground." Heller commissioned various artists to design the attractions. The participating artists included Jean-Michel Basquiat, Keith Haring, Roy Lichtenstein, Salvador Dalí, David Hockney, Kenny Scharf, Roland Toper, Jean Tinguely, and Sonia Delaunay."

"The Switch App was a downloadable app – like Tinder – that let a jobseeker “swipe” through jobs. A candidate would create an account, upload a full CV or resume, fill in their location details, and then simply start swiping! Employers would upload job profiles, with job descriptions, salaries, and more, and if any of them caught the candidate’s eye, they’d simply swipe right! One swipe would equal one CV being automatically sent to the recruiter."

Cervical cancer could be checked without a pap smear
By Hicbd
"Now, a handful of health care companies are preparing to introduce a new model for cervical cancer screening and prevention that would circumvent the speculum: self-collection, in which a woman swabs her vagina in the doctor’s office, using only a narrow swab that looks similar to the one used during a Covid test. Once the sample is collected, a lab would test it for the strains of human papillomavirus, or HPV, most likely to cause cervical cancer. A key change in HPV screening has made the technique possible: Labs are now able to test using samples taken from the vaginal walls, as opposed to from the cervix itself."

IUDs could be inserted without pain
By Hicbd
"Finally, finally, doctors are starting to take women seriously when we talk about the pain of an IUD insertion. If you’ve had the procedure, you know firsthand. If you haven’t, you’re probably already aware, either from talking to other women who have or from seeing social media videos that have gone viral where women share experiences they describe as 'agonizing.' It is downright barbaric that for decades, women have been expected to bear this pain with little to no pain management."

WHO / Gavi could have quicker vaccine access in pandemics
By Hicbd
"Three years after the last worldwide mpox outbreak, the W.H.O. still has neither officially approved the vaccines — although the United States and Europe have — nor has it issued an emergency use license that would speed access...One of these two approvals is necessary for UNICEF and Gavi, the organization that helps facilitate immunizations in developing nations, to buy and distribute mpox vaccines in low-income countries like Congo."

Mayonnaise could be a secret ingredient in cakes / baked goods
By Hicbd
"In a 2001 piece for the Los Angeles Times, food writer Marion Cunningham noted, 'The use of mayonnaise, which seems puzzling in a cake, does two things: It gives the cake a luscious richness, and it keeps it moist and fresh tasting for much longer than a conventional cake.'"

Babies / young kids could go to the movies
By Hicbd
"This is a mommy-and-me movie, and I'm here with my son, Nicolas, who was born in November. For the uninitiated, these are matinees where moms (and dads) can bring their babies to watch new movies, and not just kids' fare, without worrying about bothering everyone else with spit-up and freak-outs. We're all in the same boat, and so such typical infant outbursts are, if not necessarily cute, at least more acceptable in this setting."

Brunch could offer "egg flights"
By Hicbd
"Egg flights are hard-boiled eggs cut in half and garnished with various toppings for a quick, easy, and protein-packed meal. These bite-sized creations can look a lot like deviled eggs, but don’t require you to mix the yolk with mayo or mustard before adding any other toppers."
