Did you see the story this week about this French science experiment where people had to live in a cave for 40 days without like natural light or mobile phones?

Yes, I've been obsessed with it and next time they do it, I want to go in the cave.

I am so intrigued to find out what it did to people

which literally launched a couple of days ago. So it is hot off the press, but we're going to

be working with loads of really cool European media outlets over the next year as part of
