You probably run across some of these studies, too; the major ones get a lot of media attention. That's why I actually prefer sifting through smaller, more obscure periodicals, hunting for research no one else is reporting. For example, over the past week I've learned:

Taking a vitamin D supplement fortifies your muscles, making them less prone to injury.
Flirting at work is a hidden sign that your job isn't right for you.
Google is making us forgetful, because we're less likely to try to remember information that we know is readily accessible.
