Your dirty brain is to blame // New Scientist Associate Professor Laura Lewis and her colleagues have discovered that momentary lapses in attention that often follow a bad night’s sleep are caused by the brain attempting to flush fluid out of its system, a process that normally occurs during sleep. “If you don’t have these waves [of fluid flowing] at night because you’re kept awake all night, then your brain starts to kind of sneak them in during the daytime, but they come with this cost of attention,” Lewis explains.

Offered by the MIT School of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences, this program gives students the opportunity to learn fundamental research and reporting skills, either at MIT or at an area of interest anywhere across the globe. “I’ve gotten to experience what it’s like to be a part of a newsroom. And that has just absolutely broadened my understanding of what it is to do journalism and also allowed me to make more informed decisions about the career I want,” says Anika Jane Beamer SM ’25, a recent graduate of the program.
