People love to learn, but we don’t really like it when it’s hard. Luckily, some ways to learn are easier than others. Research shows that we’re more likely to engage with new information when it’s presented in more fun ways than just plain text. For example, we understand graphs 25.5% faster than text and 46.5% faster than data in tables.

If that’s really so, then you’ll probably love this list of cool charts and guides, Pandas! We’ve collected some of the most interesting and visually pleasing graphs from several Instagram pages about our world: pop culture, wildlife, population density, obesity, and many more. So, if you’d like to learn the types of the most common errors online, symptoms of COVID-19, and what cleaning products you should never mix, but presented in a cool way, then this is just for you.

    School (bachelors degree program) in combination with undiagnosed adhd gave me a massive burn out. After 13 years, i'm finally back in school again. Sometimes, recovery takes a mighty long time, and maybe you'll never be the same, but things really do get better. Stay strong and hopeful, and most important: give yourself grace ♥️

    U.S isn’t on here because the bed isn’t included in your stay. Hit your deductible limit and insurance won’t cover it? Can’t afford insurance? Oh well, yes we have plenty of empty beds but you’ll have to stay on the floor. /satire (sort of)

    If anyone’s confused, free radicals in this context doesn’t mean blueberries will repel protestors, lol. Free radicals are unbonded oxygens in your body that can cause issues if they get to be too many. Science pandas, correct me if I’m wrong.

    As I have Lupus, this is pretty much my life. The doctors really protected us with immune system diseases, and I was already in the hospital for something else (as usual). That month was crazy (in the hospital, and of course those years were crazy when I got out).

    These are the "voluntary" longest human space flights. There was one that should be third (Frank Rubio, Sergey Prokopyev, and Dmitry Petelin @ 371 days) and a few that were nearly as long for “involuntary” reasons. My favorite (311 days) is Sergei Krikalev, who went up a Soviet and came down a Russian. (🎵🎶Ground Control to Major Tom🎶🎵 & 🎶🎵Station Mir to Ground Control🎵🎶)
