This Week in Science: Earthquakes And The Munchies

Steve Artressia

It’s time for “Nerd News,” covering the most important news for your brain with another edition of . . . “This Week In Science” . . .

#1: Earthquakes

Could we be living in an area that could experience a “damaging earthquake” in the next 100 years?

The U.S. Geological Survey released a map that shows what your chances are. They say 75% of the country is at risk. It looks like Ohio’s chances are around 5 to 25 out of 100.

#2: Stoner Research?

A study at Washington State found the exact neurons in the brain that give potheads the munchies. They say it could lead to “refined therapeutics” to help give cancer patients more of an appetite. (Seems like all the work, without all the fun!)
