George Bernard Shaw’s play Pygmalion sends me a few messages that he was either meaning to get out to his readers‚ or not.

In 2014‚ the article “Secrets of The Brain” by Carl Zimmer was published in National Geographic. I am grateful I chose to study this article about the brain because it is simply mind blowing.
