I may have doubts about the Nike Fuelband being a viable device to increase physical activity but some new research from Zamzee could prove me otherwise.

I’ve been to the Hall of Science as a young child but over 15 years later, I felt as if I were transformed back into a child re-experiencing a world of wonder.

The first story I would like to share today is from Sproutel co-founder, Aaron Horowitz, and his story about Jerry the Bear.

Let’s face it,…
