From first steps to everyday moments, social media has made it easy to document childhood memories - with some toddlers even having their own accounts! This growing practice online is actually called sharenting.

A recent study found that while parents recognize the possible risks of sharing photos of their little ones online, many see it as a positive way to share family moments and connect with long-distance relatives.

In today’s digital world, how should parents balance connection and protection?

DISSER-FACTS: Where Every Research Tells a Story! 📖

From rice cakes to grilled meats, plant leaves have been a staple across Asian cuisines. Their natural flexibility and aroma make them perfect for wrapping, cooking, and serving a wide variety of traditional dishes. In the Philippines, they are prominent in sweet kakanin and savory lechon, especially in boodle fights (kamayan feasts), making them an integral part of Filipino culinary traditions.

Banana leaves are traditionally used to wrap native delicacies, but their characteristics can influence both the quality and safety of the food. A study looked at saba, butuan, and lagkitan leaves as wrappers for suman sa lihiya to better understand how traditional wrappers can be used more effectively and support food safety in culinary practices. Click the photo to see their key findings.

Read more about the properties of banana leaves as traditional food wrappers at the CHE Library.
