Happy Friday y’all! I’ll share more later, but in short, our MLS show as a HIT! I’ll share a more in depth report next week. In the meantime here’s some highlights.
Also, didn’t have time to put together an AI deep dive this week, But we’ll be back on track next week for that as well.
That being said, here’s a heaping pile of some cool shit to get you through the weekend!

A study finds that dogs can smell your stress — and make decisions accordingly
Can dogs detect human stress through smell?
Yes, a study from the United Kingdom found that dogs can detect human stress through smell, which affects their emotions and decision-making processes.
How was the study conducted to determine the impact of stress on dogs?
Researchers had human participants perform stress-inducing tasks like public speaking and math problems, then collected their sweat samples. These samples were presented to dogs, who showed changes in behavior when exposed to stress-related odors.
What implications does the study suggest about the relationship between humans and dogs?
The study suggests that dogs, having coexisted with humans for thousands of years, have learned to interpret human emotions through smell. This ability helps them identify potential threats and affects their behavior, indicating that human stress can directly influence dogs.
