Another reason I love caffein

Apparently it boosts short term memory. So much so in fact that the writer of the news article actually remembered to include a p-value when he stated that the results of the study were statistically significant. For those of you who don't know, the p-value is the probability that the results were purely by chance. The lower the p-value the more statistically significant the findings. Three cheers for statistics everybody!
