In a recent article in the New York Times (Jan 2012) titled A Sharper Mind, middle age and beyond we took this quote:
"When the Midus team put their data together, they noticed other similarities among people with the strongest cognitive skills. Senior citizens who performed as well as younger adults in fluid intelligence tended to share four characteristics in addition to having a college degree and regularly engaging in mental workouts: they exercised frequently; they were socially active, frequently seeing friends and family, volunteering or attending meetings; they were better at remaining calm in the face of stress; and they felt more in control of their lives. "
By joining a DNA of Creativity team you can exercise your brain and work with a team....then if you have a college degree and get some exercise, you are in luck, aging wise.

Thanks to Linda Nimmerritchter who sent us the link to this article.
DNA of Creativity: Fusing the Energies of San Diego Arts and Sciences, the San Diego Visual Arts Network is gathering information and making connections between the art and science worlds with a goal of fusing the energies of both communities to produce a series of projects. These projects will enhance the viewing public’s perception of creativity and its role in our lives. This blog will endeavor to add links of interest and provide a way for free discussions on this subject.
