Your mind is made up.

It’s made up of physical-biological squishy stuff that came to be over millions of years of evolution…
Giving you the ability to process information from the world around you through your senses,
as it operates biological functions automatically.

It’s made up of thoughts, language, and memory giving you the ability to wonder aloud and eventually find where you left your keys.

And it’s made up of interests things your mind seeks out in the world beyond its squishy confines

While your mind is made up of many things we recommend one more make your mind up with science like a highly refined sixth sense, science allows you to process information not readily available to senses alone and there is no better place to make up your mind then here on This Week in Science!
