Good morning, and happy Monday! Let’s get your week off to a good start!

Fun fact: Copper doorknobs are self-disinfecting.

Copper and its alloys have been popular materials for doorknobs for a very long time. Not only does it look nice, it also kills bacteria. According to a study from the National College of Kathmandu in Nepal, brass sterilizes the bacteria that build up from the hands that grip it.
