Il ritratto delle casalinghe che emerge da uno studio delluniversità di Granada é più che lusinghiero: le casalinghe infatti riciclano molto di più degli studenti universitari. Dalla ricerca, effettuata con interviste su un campione di 525 studenti e 154 casalinghe, è emersa una vittoria schiacciante delle seconde: Gli studenti hanno meno controllo sui loro comportamenti - spiega Maria Luzon, autrice dello studio pubblicato dalla rivista Environment and Human Behaviour - e trovano una serie di giustificazioni, ad esempio per non riciclare il vetro.

- Researchers: 1 Out of 1,000 People May Smell Sounds.

Some people can smell sounds, see smells or hear colors, according to researchers Juan Lupiáñez Castillo and Alicia Callejas Sevilla of the University of Granada in Spain.

The two believe these abilities called synaesthesia exist in all newborns and that some adults — as many as 1 out of 1,000 — retain this skill, but many do not realize it. Their research has appeared in the journals Cortex, Experimental Brain Research, and Consciousness and Cognition.

The condition, known as synaesthesia, causes two or more human senses to act as if they are interconnected, and is believed to affect up to one in a thousand people worldwide.
