It's National Doughnut Day, so grab a delicious snack and settle in for this week's favorites from around the web.
Want to be inspired by getting knocked in the head with an apple? Sadly, that's no longer a possibility under Sir Isaac Newton's 400 year-old apple tree.
However, if you get hit in the head elsewhere, you can now quickly and easily find out if you have a concussion. Yup, there's an app for that. The best part? It includes data from the CDC and provides users a medium to contribute to research on youth sports and concussions.
Science Communication
If the heat is keeping you indoors, you'll definitely want to read about how the Science & Entertainment Exchange is helping keeping what you see on TV scientifically feasible (pages 12 to 14).
