TEP Talk: Doughnuts and Dexterity

Without a cloud in sight, the clear blue skies and sunshine made for a bright National Doughnut Day at Technology Enterprise Park (TEP). In honor of this holey holiday (which was started over 50 years ago during World War I by the Salvation Army,) we popped up with boxes of these delightful, deep-fried treats from our local favorite, Sublime Doughnuts, in the courtyard.

Out of the 20 biotechnology engineers and laboratory researchers who stopped by to pick up a treat, we learned that the majority were right-handed with one outlier: a community member with ambidexterity!

National Doughnut Day at TEP:

Are you left- or right-handed?

Like this small sample size we caught up with at TEP, it seems that most humans across the world are right-handed. According to researchers at the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, there is proof that Leonardo DaVinci was able to write, draw, and paint with both left and right hands. Could ambidexterity be a sign of being a genius? Let us know your thoughts on this - or your favorite type of doughnut - below.
