🎭 🖼️ 🤸 Today from NPR: "If you want to stack the odds in favor of living a long life ... Ignite your creative expression and participate more in the arts. A new study finds this may help boost longevity by slowing down your rate of aging."

The arts are in PZ's DNA and have been for 60 years, from our P*s and research strands to the very suite we live in at Harvard Graduate School of Education.

❓ What's your favorite arts-forward PZ practice?

Engaging with the arts can slow biological aging, study shows Eat well and exercise. That's the classic advice for living a long, healthy life. A new study suggests another habit to add to the list: Let your creative juices flow.

What's the difference between curiosity 🔎, awe 🤯, and wonder 💭 and why does it matter for learning?

🎙️ Thinkability S5 E4: "Noticing, Noticing"
with David Perkins and Shari Tishman

Have you ever noticed *noticing*? 👀 This simple act of perception is so basic that we often don’t, well, notice it. But it’s actually quite remarkable, especially when you consider how selectively we notice some things and not others. In the latest episode of the Thinkability podcast, Dave and Shari explore this odd but everyday phenomenon. Along the way, they ask: How can we get better at noticing, and how it relates to learning?

LISTEN NOW:

S5 E4: Noticing Noticing This basic act of perception serves our everyday lives in endless ways. What does it involve, how can we get better at it, and how can it support thinking and learning?
