HOW LANGUAGE SHAPES US
There are 196 countries in the world, but 7,000 distinct languages. And, as cognitive scientist Lera Boroditsky shares in this fascinating TED Talk, language has a huge effect on our behavior. Learn from her research with an Aboriginal community in Australia (that uses cardinal directions instead of left and right for everything) and others whose language guides reasoning and actually shapes the way the brain functions.
Click here to listen. And follow Lera at @leraboroditsky.

TO ROLL OR NOT TO ROLL? HOW TO PACK A SUITCASE.
Here is the complete guide to all things packing, storing, rolling, zipping and organizing from Conde Nast Traveler. I learned a few things (packing cubes, people. Packing cubes!) and hope you do too.

WHO I'M FOLLOWING:
To keep my cousins and I safe in Jersey Shore waters (and maybe to remind us of our place in the world), my grandmother shares her favorite line: "That ocean's bigger than you!" It's also amazing, which is why I love getting updates from Meet the Ocean, an educational non-profit that shares the wonder of the ocean through engaging storytelling, interviews and science in podcasts and social media.
You'll learn from ocean explorers, National Geographic photographers, naturalists, MTO Executive Director Paul North and an 11-year-old phenom correspondent, Charlotte Fisher. It's well worth meeting this organization.
