August is almost over, but it still has a rare event to deliver to skywatchers in the form of a second full moon.  The full moon that rises on Wednesday, Aug. 30, will be a special one too, the unification of a supermoon and a Blue Moon, a “Super Blue Moon.” The moon won’t appear particularly blue at this time, however. The term “Blue Moon” has nothing to do with color, instead referring to either two moons occurring in the same calendar month (as in this case), or the third full moon in a season that has four full moons.…

People who primarily use their own gut feeling to determine what is true and false are more likely to believe conspiracy theories. That is the conclusion of researchers at Linköping University, Sweden, who have investigated the relationship between susceptibility to misleading information and the conviction that the truth is relative. “I think many people who emphasise a more relativistic view of what truth is mean well. They believe that it’s important that everyone should be able to make their voice heard. But these results show that such a view can actually be quite dangerous,” says PhD student Julia Aspernäs at…

The Capital of the Superficial by Julia Firley What’s it About? A story of how a small, impoverished country was transformed almost overnight into a rich, powerful welfare state controlled by a few shrewd families. “Nothing is as it seems. The illusion is a means, and the façade is power.”  The opening sentence in Julia Firley’s thought-provoking book, The Capital of the Superficial, sets the tone for what is a fascinating and bold exploration of society’s obsession with appearances, consumerism, and the relentless pursuit of an idealized and materialistic image of success.  Told through the lens of multiple storytellers —…

The Portuguese government has proposed a new cryptocurrency tax policy that would take effect as part of its 2023 national budget, according to a government-issued report published Monday.

However, gains realised after one year of holding the crypto assets will be exempt from such a tax. Notably, the proposed percentage in tax is the same rate that traditional investment vehicles are currently taxed in the country.Free crypto…

When Richard O’Neil, Ph.D., joined MUSC Hollings Cancer Center two years ago, he knew that he wanted to continue finding ways to make CAR-T-cell therapy easier on patients. What he didn’t expect was that a side project — worked on by Megan Tennant, a graduate student in his lab, as a way to keep busy while a key piece of equipment was being serviced — would potentially open up this treatment beyond the world of cancer. “I don’t think that either of us expected that first initial experiment to work,” Tennant said. “But when we saw how well it worked…

If you use Rotten Tomatoes to decide whether to see a movie —and especially if you use it primarily by glancing at films’ ratings without digging deeper into what the individual reviews that make up that rating say — there is a new article out that you definitely should read.Called “The Decomposition of Rotten Tomatoes,” it details how studios and publicists have essentially gamed Rotten Tomatoes’ system to ensure that their movies get the best possible scores. In one striking example described in the piece, a publicity firm tried to boost the score of an independent film without a distributor (2018’s Ophelia, starring…

In a study just released, Lukas and colleagues Dr. Caroline Doyle from UNSW and ANU Law graduate Joanna Cui concluded that much more could be done to support the invisible victims of the criminal justice system—the children of incarcerated parents.
