A person can reach their 60s with only a few close friends for reasons that have little to do with being bad at relationships. That is the first correction worth making. A small circle is not always evidence of social failure. Sometimes it is the visible result of time, selection, unequal effort, family obligations, work, ... Read more Read more ›

How little time outdoors does it take to feel better? In 2010, two researchers at the University of Essex tried to answer this question. They pooled the results of 10 separate UK studies covering 1,252 people, then asked what sounds like an almost too-practical question: what is the smallest amount of nature that does you ...

The numbers do not care how hard you work. Roughly 22.1 percent of new private-sector businesses fail within their first year. By the five-year mark that climbs to about 48.6 percent, and stretched to a decade roughly 65.3 percent are gone. In the most recent data, new businesses were closing within their first year at ...

There’s a certain kind of person you learn to spot if you’ve ever run a room full of tables. They come in alone, order well, tip fine, and leave without once looking like they wished someone were sitting across from them. Not sad. Not prickly. Just complete. We’ve decided that person is a problem. Someone ... Read more Read more ›

Sperm whales routinely dive nearly 2,250 metres on a single breath, using a head packed with waxy spermaceti oil that solidifies under cold and pressure to help drag them toward squid they hunt in total darkness. Read more ›

Long-term vegetarians carry muscle creatine stores 20 to 30 percent below meat-eaters, and when both groups supplement at the same 5-gram dose, the vegetarian response is faster, larger, and more measurable across strength, sprint power, and cognitive tests. Read more ›

The U.S. federal auto safety regulator has issued a formal ultimatum to the autonomous vehicle industry, demanding that developers produce fixes for robotaxis that interfere with first responders — a directive that arrives just as the commercial architecture holding the sector together begins to visibly crack.

Since 1990, most of the world's cheese has been made with chymosin produced by genetically modified microbes in industrial fermentation tanks — not traditional calf rennet. The switch was legal, unlabelled, and almost invisible to consumers. Now a new fight over ingredient transparency in the US is about to drag it into the open. Read more ›

Krista Varady has been studying intermittent fasting for two decades at the University of Illinois Chicago, and in a 2024 commentary, she and her co-authors set out to systematically debunk four common safety myths about the practice. Read more ›

We’ve got a lazy story we tell about lonely old people. They got prickly. They pushed everyone away. They turned “difficult.” It’s a comforting story, because it lets the rest of us off the hook. Well, they chose this, didn’t they? Mostly they didn’t. The people I’ve watched get lonely in their sixties and seventies ... Read more Read more ›

Confidence is easiest before the hard part has introduced itself. A person who has just learned the vocabulary of a subject can feel strangely fluent. They know enough to speak, not yet enough to hear what is missing. That is why early certainty can be so seductive in work, leadership, investing, hiring, strategy and technology. ...

For many adults, birthdays quietly transform from celebrations into private performance reviews. The dread isn't really about aging — it's about the yearly obligation to justify yourself against a checklist you never agreed to. Read more ›

Greenland sharks swim at a foot per second, grow a centimeter a year, and don't reach sexual maturity until roughly 150 years old — meaning adults reproducing today were born before the American Revolution. Read more ›

The US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has admitted it began writing its incident response playbook during the incident it was responding to — a breach in which a contractor exposed administrative credentials to Amazon AWS GovCloud accounts and internal CISA systems on a public GitHub repository.

A small blunder can feel strangely enormous from the inside. The awkward pause after a sentence lands badly, the stain noticed too late, the shirt that suddenly seems wrong for the room, the typo in a message to a senior colleague: each one can feel as if it has been placed under a spotlight. Psychology ... Read more Read more ›

A landmark New England Journal of Medicine study found microplastics lodged in the carotid plaque of 58% of patients, and those patients suffered heart attacks, strokes, and death at 4.5 times the rate of their plastic-free peers. Follow-up work in New Mexico and elsewhere is now testing whether cardiology has a new modifiable risk factor on its hands. Read more ›

Singapore’s rise is often told as a neat parable: a small island with almost no natural resources became rich by being disciplined, open and clever. The short version is true enough to be memorable, but too clean to explain much. What made Singapore unusual was not simply that it lacked oil, minerals or agricultural hinterland. ...

Detachment has a chilly reputation. In ordinary conversation, it can sound like emotional distance, cynicism or a slow retreat from the people and tasks that once mattered. At work, the word can sound even worse, as if an employee has stopped caring, stopped trying or quietly checked out. Occupational psychology uses the word in a ... Read more Read more ›

It is easy to read response time as character. Someone replies instantly to a meme, a logistics question, a restaurant link or a work aside. Then an emotional message arrives, and the same person goes quiet for two days. From the outside, that silence can look like indifference. From the inside, it may be something ...

There is a particular embarrassment that can arrive after success. A person gets the job, the promotion, the funding, the house, the public proof, the number they used to think would settle something. For a while it does. Then the mind absorbs it into ordinary life, and the next target begins to look less like ... Read more Read more ›
