Three Interesting Things #9
Hi everyone, apologies for the radio silence as of late. We’ll be resuming this newsletter on a weekly basis and the good news is we have the next 6 months already programmed, so stay tuned! This week’s Three Interesting Things are:
1. “In the more gender-equal countries, men have “more male” interests, and the women have “more female” interests.

2. The number of oil spills has been decreasing significantly over time:
