What is the best way to sign-off an email? It actually depends on what you want the outcome to be. However, if you are hoping to get a reply, there is one sign-off that is more likely to get the reader to respond. This episode begins by telling you what that is. http://www.businessinsider.com/best-way-to-end-an-email-2017-2 Ever wondered why your brain in your head as opposed to somewhere else in your body? Why do human eyes face forward but a fish’s eyes are on the side of its head?

Mark is a cognitive scientist who has a YouTube series about science (https://www.youtube.com/user/mchangizi). He has also authored some science books – one being The Vision Revolution: How the Latest Research Overturns Everything We Thought We Knew About Human Vision (https://amzn.to/2SwLNMs) If you live long enough, you are going to get some wrinkles.
