Golf champion Collin Morikawa has announced he will donate $1,000 for every birdie he makes on the PGA Tour this month to support those affected by the devastating wildfires in Maui, Hawaii. Though Morikawa was born and raised in California, his family emigrated to Maui from Japan. So far, he's added at least $6,000 to the pot and has encouraged sponsors, supporters and friends to add to the pledge. “The people of Hawaii are going to need all the support that we can give them," he wrote in an Instagram post. He says the funds he raises will go to support Maui United Way and World Central Kitchen.
Plus, here are more ways to help those affected by the Hawaii fires.
Rats have a play time?
What happens when you tickle a rat? A whole lot of scientifically significant things, apparently. Researchers at Humboldt University in Berlin tickled and played with rats to get a better understanding of their brain function and collect observations about the importance of play. While most animals have some form of play, it's not something researchers say they understand in depth. Among the takeaways: Rats laugh, and not just when they play. They laugh when they're (gently, briefly) tickled, too. “Rats really love to be tickled,” one of the researchers said. It's not all fun and games, though. Learning more about play and how it affects the brain lets us know more about an animal's health in general, and could yield important insights about how we learn, grow and adapt.
