The truth about 10,000 steps a day: the number wasn’t science, it was the brand name of a pedometer a Japanese company launched around the 1964 Tokyo Olympics — and later research finds real health benefits from as few as 4,000 steps

The daily step goal on hundreds of millions of wrists and phones did not come out of a laboratory. It came out of a marketing department. In the mid-1960s, riding the fitness buzz around the 1964 Tokyo Olympics, the Japanese clock and instrument company Yamasa released a step counter called the Manpo-kei. The name means, ... Read more

Tardigrades can survive being boiled, frozen to near absolute zero, blasted with radiation, and shot into the vacuum of space, and they do it by dehydrating themselves into a glassy state that essentially pauses their biology until water returns

Tardigrades survive boiling, near-absolute-zero cold, radiation doses a thousand times the human lethal dose, and the vacuum of space by drying into a glassy state that pauses their biology. A protein they use to shield their DNA is now being engineered into cancer treatments. Read more

People who find it physically uncomfortable to look someone in the eye during a compliment aren’t insecure or evasive — they’re often the ones who take in emotional information so directly that full eye contact during something kind becomes almost too much to hold

The last time I paid someone a proper compliment, they looked at the floor like I’d dropped a twenty and were deciding whether to tell me. Not a “nice jacket.” The kind that names something true about who a person actually is. For years I read that gesture the lazy way. Shy. Awkward. Can’t take ... Read more Read more

When psychologists asked people to log what they were doing hour by hour, roughly 43 percent of daily behaviour turned out to be habit — done in the same place while the mind was somewhere else entirely
