Welcome to these 7 links on a Sunday morning. This week, I have links to stories about how sleep and social media affects the brains of teenagers, cow poop as a possible source of clean hydrogen gas (seriously), using dandelions to replace rubber, possible bird flu vaccines, time keeping and the moon, and more. Hope you find these interesting. And get some time to enjoy a day off.
