• Samford University scientists have found huge benefits from eating baby carrots.  Here are some:

1. May help you live longer
2. Helps you see in the dark
3. Enhances skin carotenoids (plant pigments associated with health benefits)
4. Higher antioxidant activity in your body
5. Lowers inflammation therefore lowers risk of chronic illnesses such as heart disease

• Researchers suggest eating baby carrots at least 3-times a week
• To enhance the health impact, choose a multivitamin that contains beta carotin.

• Google DeepMind is listening to fish as a means of monitoring the coral reefs that they inhabit.  It's a remarkable use of AI technology to determine the health of coral reefs during this time of Climate Change.  Here are some key facts:
• Google used deep learning and trained an AI model on thousands of real fish recordings that were identified by marine biologists
• The public also helped by listening to reef fish recordings on the website Calling in Our Reefs
• Healthy reefs are noisy with the sounds of fish
• Unhealthy reefs sound like radio static
• All of the information has resulted in the AI-powered SurfPerch tool that measures the volume of fish sounds to determine the health of the reef
• Google's tool is an example of AI being put to work to monitor Climate Change, help save endangered coral reefs and provide a big assist to marine biologists in the process.
