It’s been the better part of a decade since I graduated college. I’d like to think that there is still a lot of the same kid who was spat out of school with a degree and debt. After all, a lot of the people I’m closest to I’ve known since college. I’d like to think that I still have the equal parts passion for what I do and the apathy for taking orders.

A study in Japan has shown that the acne antibiotic minocycline can help protect a man’s brain from the clutches of pretty ladies. Researchers found that in a trust game involving money, men who were given a placebo were more likely to trust attractive women, and with more money than less attractive women.
