Why Koala Fingerprints Look Eerily Human
Manage episode 292095660 series 2151271
Learn about how to stop Zoom fatigue; a world that may be on its second atmosphere; and koalas’ human-like fingerprints.
4 reasons you feel "Zoom fatigue" and how to get over them, according to Stanford research by Kelsey Donk:
