Kids, don't try this at home

Thanks for the laugh, Dr. Reardon. Plus gratitude and humor, and 7 other things worth your time.

It’s very important to practice gratitude, especially in times of crisis.

Today, I am grateful to Dr. Daniel Reardon, 27, of Melbourne, Australia.

Dr. Reardon is an astrophysicist studying pulsars and gravitational waves at Swinburne University. Like so many of us, he’s been isolated at home as a result of COVID-19.

So, he tried to use some of his downtime to invent something he thought might help — a device designed to help people stop touching their faces.

Hilarity ensued.
