A beloved school bus driver, Natalie Brower, who heroically saved her students during a deadly attempted shooting last year, has died. Her courageous actions—shutting down a gunman’s attack on her bus in Prince George’s County—saved lives, but the trauma took a devastating toll. Despite being hailed as a hero, Brower’s health spiraled after the incident, ultimately leading to her death this past summer. Her daughter now fights to ensure long-term mental health support for trauma survivors, honoring her mother’s legacy of bravery and compassion.

New research reveals our brains burn more energy tracking moving objects than static ones, thanks to heightened activity in the visual cortex. Using advanced imaging, scientists show motion triggers active prediction and tracking—essentially, your brain runs a real-time simulation of where things are headed. This evolutionary adaptation likely helped our ancestors spot predators or prey, and now it’s reshaping how we design VR, UIs, and even understand perception: seeing isn’t passive—it’s a high-energy, dynamic process.
