NATURE WALKS BENEFIT BOTH MIND AND BODY
I’ve been doing a lot of walking lately. In fact, I go for a couple of walks every day now. It started when I was getting my COVID booster at the local recreation centre. On the way out, I noticed the entrance to the indoor walking track I’d been hearing about.

DWARF GALAXIES CONTRADICT DARK MATTER PARADIGM
