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 ›

A couple years ago, just before Black Friday, I decided to replace my old, cracked Apple Watch with a non-cracked equivalent. One thing led to another, and I had spent less than I’d planned on a nicer watch than I thought I could afford. The catch: It was refurbished. The “r” word used to be […] 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 ›

When Rafael Yuste was a teenager growing up in Madrid in the 1970s, he had two great loves: the brain and the piano. At age 15, he started working at a clinical laboratory run by his mom, where he was tasked with looking through a microscope and counting blood cells. He read the autobiography of […] 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. Weeks before our scheduled call on Halloween, Andrés was in a helicopter, delivering food with volunteers from his nonprofit World Central Kitchen to communities affected by […] Read more ›

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 ›

Billie Eilish could eat that girl for lunch — but she’s certainly not eating any animals for dinner. The 22-year-old pop star has a lot of triumphs under her belt: nine Grammys, two Oscars, and two Golden Globes. Her music has been nearly inescapable in the last year, from a sultry feature on Charli XCX’s […] 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. He has not gone into detail about his plans, but legal experts have suggested he may be able to rely on a combination of federal laws to implement the deportations […] Read more ›

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 ›

During his campaign, President-elect Donald Trump had a pointed tagline for his energy policy: “Drill, baby, drill.” That statement is emblematic of where Trump is poised to focus his efforts in a second term: He’s pledged US “energy dominance” and everything from “new pipelines” to “new refiners” that amp up fossil fuel production. This approach […] Read more ›

There is not one contradiction at the heart of the incoming Trump administration’s political project. There are two. The first centers on economic policy — or, more fundamentally, the role of government itself. One camp, exemplified by Elon Musk and traditional big business, sees Trumpism as a celebration of individual greatness and unfettered capitalism. The second […] Read more ›

Long before he officially pursued the presidency, Donald Trump railed against US trade deals. In interviews dating back to the 1980s, he told journalists that deals that benefited Asian and Middle Eastern trading partners consistently “ripped off” the US. Over decades, that charge may have turned into a winning election strategy. As a first-term president […] Read more ›
