In 2023, LabX launched Friday Findings, a weekly newsletter highlighting three studies with funky, curious, or otherwise fascinating results. As part of the National Academy of Sciences, we quickly noticed how often we see studies with entertaining headlines, and we wanted to come up with a way to share them directly with you—so Friday Findings was born!

Join us today to get our weekly newsletter in our inbox so you can be ready with your fun facts at your next cocktail party!

@labxnas Ever heard of a stroad? It lives somewhere in the void between a road and a street, and cities across the US are trying to fix their stroads to make them more effective. Btw - this is the first episode of a new series we’re launching! Come back every Friday for a mini deep dive into a funky science story like this one from us here at LabX! 🎉 #science #transport #transportation #roads #roadsafety #carsoftiktok #cartransport ♬ original sound - LabX
