🧬 This kid rocks: The 17-year-old who’s flattening the cancer curve.

🍎 Flash poll: Are you prioritizing healthy habits for your kid?

🧠 Notable nibbles: The neuroscience behind our fickle memories, a win for working parents, and more.

^{THIS KID ROCKS}

What do Twinkies and Clorox have in common?

Prequel student Grace Price answers that question in her new documentary, Cancer: A Food-Borne Illness.

(It was released on Wednesday and already has over 3 million views. 🤯)

After losing her grandfather to cancer while in middle school, a confused and distraught kid began consuming endless research on cancer causes and treatments. 

Grace soon discovered the role that epigenetics plays in tying lifestyle factors to our DNA — and how our modern diets are killing us.

At 17 years old, Grace filmed her groundbreaking documentary, interviewing scientists and physicians, and standing up against the giants of the food industry. 👊

Grace is on a mission to flatten the cancer curve by 2040 — and that’s good news for all of us.

When we start believing that kids are limitless, they change the world.

P.S. — Don’t forget to share it with your friends and family!

^{FLASH POLL}

Research shows that the most successful people prioritize healthy habits, like diet and exercise. Seems like we should probably be instilling those habits habits in our kids…

Watch your kid go from student to CEO this summer.
