I love the interplay of science and creativity.<br /><br />By the way, my favorite part of the brain is the corpus callosum. It is the bridge between the left and right hemispheres, so connects language to intuition/creativity. Also it's larger in females than males, so explains our ability to 'multi-task' and their ability to compartmentalize.<br /><br />Love this blog!<br />Anny Rusk, follows you via email <br />annyrusk21 [at] gmail [dot] comannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05766339961757566865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3934041490878801751.post-63862555414930216352012-09-19T09:22:05.930-05:002012-09-19T09:22:05.930-05:00Sounds like a great book, especially as I struggle...Sounds like a great book, especially as I struggle with the first line on a story just now!
