A retirement move can succeed on nearly every term used to justify it. The home may cost less, the weather may be kinder and the days may feel less hurried. A person can be pleased with all of that and still miss the wider circle of people who once made ordinary life feel inhabited. This ... Read more Read more ›

Long marriages ask something almost no one warns you about: the quiet grief of watching your partner slowly become someone only you remember the earlier version of. The couples who survive it don't refuse to notice the change — they metabolise it out loud. Read more ›

A 2019 PLOS ONE study of 40 men in Nova Scotia found that the diversity of bacteria in the colon correlated with total sleep time and sleep efficiency — opening a line of research that now argues afternoon fatigue may be less about the pillow than the plate. Read more ›

There’s a particular worry I keep running into from people in their forties and fifties who are on their own. Not the loud one about dying alone, or the leftover static from dating apps. A smaller worry, underneath all of it: the sense that everyone coupled up has been doing emotional homework for years, over ... Read more Read more ›

Cymothoa exigua is a parasitic isopod that enters a fish through the gills, drinks the blood out of its tongue until the tongue withers away, and then attaches to the stub and spends the rest of its life acting as a functional replacement tongue — the only known case in biology of a parasite replacing a host organ.

In five days in April 1967, a 25-year-old history teacher in Palo Alto turned a classroom question about Nazi Germany into a movement of 200 students — using nothing more than posture rules, a salute, and the pleasure of being told what to do. Read more ›

The prevailing story about AI in a disaster zone is that it belongs to governments and large NGOs: satellite imagery pipelines at FEMA, damage models at the World Bank, logistics dashboards at the UN. When twin earthquakes reportedly ripped through northern Venezuela last month, that story broke. Read more ›

In 1973, when OPEC's oil embargo revealed how much of the industrialised world ran on Gulf petroleum, the region's monarchies discovered they had bought themselves a kind of leverage that money alone could not manufacture. Read more ›

In 1936, a 23-year-old Cambridge graduate student named Alan Turing published a 36-page paper describing an imaginary tape reader to settle a question in mathematical logic — and inadvertently defined what a computer is. Read more ›

In 1998, a Tufts psychologist named Raymond Nickerson published a long review article pulling together decades of scattered experiments under one heading. The title called confirmation bias a ubiquitous phenomenon in many guises. What he described was a habit most of us would recognise if we caught ourselves doing it, which is exactly the problem: ...

Finland did build one of the world’s most admired education systems around trust rather than constant inspection, competition and high-stakes testing. It did not, however, win an objective global title for the “most trusted education system.” No authoritative international league table measures that claim. The more defensible point is also the more interesting one. At ... Read more Read more ›

Picture a memory you are sure of. Not a fuzzy one, a solid one. Say a childhood scene where you got separated from your parents in a big shop, felt that cold drop in your stomach, and then a stranger or a shop assistant brought you back. You can almost see the aisle. You remember ... Read more Read more ›

What follows is reading and reflection on published psychology research, not advice. We are writers, not psychologists or therapists. The studies here are observational and experimental work on group averages, and a pattern across a sample is not a diagnosis or a prescription for any one reader’s inner life. You would expect that the people ... Read more Read more ›

Give someone five compliments and one insult in the same afternoon, and the insult is what they carry home. This lopsidedness seems like a glitch in the wiring. It is not. It appears to be one of the more reliable patterns in how the human mind weighs experience, and psychology has documented it for decades ... Read more Read more ›

The bitter compounds in kale, broccoli and green tea are plant defence weapons — and the reason vegetables extend human life. A look at hormesis, the gut bacteria that decide who benefits, and why the vegetables engineered to taste mild may deliver less of what makes them medicine. Read more ›

We’re sold a story about identity that runs like a detective film. You spend your youth confused, then one afternoon, maybe on a beach in your twenties or mid-breakdown in your thirties, you “find yourself.” Credits roll. You know who you are now, and you get to keep it forever, laminated, like a passport. Lovely ... Read more Read more ›

Sara Blakely built a billion-dollar company on $5,000 of her own money and never took a cent from outside investors. In 2000 she used that $5,000 to launch Spanx. Twenty-one years later, in October 2021, the investment firm Blackstone bought a majority stake in Spanx in a deal that valued the company at about $1.2 ... Read more Read more ›

There is a small movement people make at the beginning of a serious conversation. The phone comes out of a pocket, lands on the table, and is turned face down. The screen disappears. Whatever arrives next will not be allowed to flash between two people. It is easy to call this good manners and leave ... Read more Read more ›

Last week I watched a bloke in a near-empty café stand up, sling his bag over one shoulder, and then, before he walked out, quietly slide his chair back under the table. Nobody clocked it. The barista had her back turned. Two other customers were buried in laptops. He wasn’t fishing for a nod or ... Read more Read more ›
