This story originally appeared in Kids Today, Vox’s newsletter about kids, for everyone. Sign up here for future editions. “Kids can’t read anymore.” We heard this refrain earlier this month, when some connected a decline in reading among young people, as well as a shift toward getting news and information from short-form video, with the recent presidential […] Read more ›

Whether he is writing novels about young love, contemplating our species’ long-term prospects, or supporting public health projects abroad, John Green is driven by one mission: “I’m trying to make the case that humanity is worth it.” It began with a YouTube channel, Vlogbrothers, in which he and his brother, Hank, an author and entrepreneur, […] Read more ›

Being a scientist is hard. Being a young scientist is harder. Academic institutions squeeze cheap labor out of graduate students and postdocs who are busy competing for publications and increasingly limited faculty jobs, sucking joy from once-enthusiastic trainees. While people generally think of scientists as smart and competent, they’re rarely viewed as warm or caring.

Here’s an exercise for you: Imagine the trajectory of our current climate crisis. You probably don’t need to imagine very hard what this future looks like because we’re seeing it play out in the present: towns torn apart by massive hurricanes, thousands displaced by wildfires, lives taken by extreme heat. All of it is enough […] Read more ›

José Andrés probably has the best reason ever to cancel an interview. The Michelin-starred celebrity chef and humanitarian is no stranger to feeding people when they need it most.

You may have heard the idea that AI is a “stochastic parrot,” mechanistically repeating our words back to us without actually understanding them. But Shannon Vallor, a philosopher of technology at the University of Edinburgh, thinks there’s a better metaphor: AI, she says, is a mirror. After all, a parrot is another mind — not exactly […] Read more ›

When Christopher Nolan began writing the screenplay for Oppenheimer in the early 2020s, his teenage son questioned whether anyone still cared about nuclear weapons. By the time the film was released in 2023, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and Vladimir Putin’s nuclear saber-rattling had thrust atomic anxieties back into public consciousness. The timing was coincidental, but […] Read more ›

Climate scientists agree on at least one necessary change to our food system: People, especially those in rich countries, ought to be eating more plants and fewer animals. Globally, livestock production accounts for some 15 to 20 percent of greenhouse gas emissions and accelerates a host of other environmental problems, from deforestation to freshwater depletion […] Read more ›

We’re all familiar with what infrastructure looks like at its worst: spending hours in traffic, paying hundreds of dollars for a water bill, or pacing back and forth until the next train comes. But what about when it’s at its best? What does a world look like with unlimited access to clean energy? That’s what […] Read more ›

Congresswoman-elect Sarah McBride became the first openly trans person ever elected to the House this November, marking a historic milestone for the body. Her arrival, however, is being met with a targeted — and anti-trans — attack by Republicans in Congress that rejects the existence of trans people. On Wednesday, House Speaker Mike Johnson announced […] Read more ›

President-elect Donald Trump said he will use the military to carry out mass deportations — the centerpiece of his immigration agenda in his second term.

While campaigning, President-elect Donald Trump repeatedly threatened to dismantle the US Department of Education (DOE), on the basis that the federal education apparatus is “indoctrinating young people with inappropriate racial, sexual, and political material.” “One thing I’ll be doing very early in the administration is closing up the Department of Education in Washington, DC, and […] Read more ›
