IN JANUARY, I set myself a resolution: to master the humble chin-up. I have never had much upper body strength, and I knew it would be hard, but that is OK, I thought, because I am not doing this to get stronger or fitter. I am doing this for my brain. Like a lot of people, I used to exercise to stay physically fit. But a few years ago, while writing my book Brain Power: Everything you need to know for a healthy, happy brain, I dug into the literature on exercise and the mind. What I discovered changed my…

With today’s announcement of the 2023 Emmy Awards nominees, the race for gold has officially begun. A number of the year’s most-beloved TV programs—including Succession, The White Lotus, and The Last Of Us (all from HBO)—vacuumed up numerous coveted spots, even as 2,428 performers wrestled for recognition from The Television Academy. The now-usual suspects, including most of the Succession and Abbott Elementary casts, appeared as expected, but others finally got their much-deserved first chance at an Emmy: Pedro Pascal, Sabrina Impacciatore, Jenna Ortega, Steven Yeun, and Riley Keough among them. Still, it wouldn’t be an awards-season announcement without some significant…

After a successful, pandemic-delayed run in 2022, Motley Crue are back out on tour this year, but with one significant change. In October of 2022, Mick Mars announced his retirement from touring with the band, with the group naming John 5 as his touring replacement soon after. But earlier this year, Mars filed suit against his former bandmates claiming his was “unilaterally removed” from the band and “gaslighted” about his guitar performance.

CLIMATEWIRE | The first U.S.-made high-speed “bullet” trains will start running as early as 2024 between Boston, New York and Washington, with the promise of cutting transportation emissions by attracting new rail passengers who now drive or fly. But Amtrak’s plan to run high-speed rail service on its Northeast Corridor faces a major obstacle — the 450-mile route does not have modern tracks that can handle the speed. Amtrak, a federally owned passenger-rail company, will have to operate the new trains on tracks that were built more than a century ago for much slower commuter and freight service. The bullet cars…

Graphical abstract. Credit: Structure (2023). DOI: 10.1016/j.str.2023.07.008 Which structures do complex proteins adopt in solution? Konstanz biophysicists answer this question using the example of ubiquitin dimers as well as a new combination of high-resolution NMR spectroscopy and sophisticated computer simulations. Proteins consist of amino acids, which are linked to form long amino acid chains as specified by our genetic material. In our cells, these chains are not simply rolled up like strings of pearls, but fold into complex, three-dimensional structures. How a protein is folded decisively influences its function: It determines, for example, which other molecules a protein can interact…

Per the report, which cites an unnamed source, the agency is also investigating the startup over the distribution of ApeCoin, which launched in March.

Like all of us, Olivia Rodrigo is not interested in The Idol. The singer discussed The Weeknd and Sam Levinson’s now-canceled HBO series in an interview with The Guardian, subtly arguing that their portrayal of the pop machine failed to depict womanhood in the same powerful way as, say, Barbie.  “I don’t have the desire to [watch it],” Rodrigo said. “I remember walking out of Barbie and being like, ‘Wow, it’s so long since I’ve seen a movie that is female-centred in a way that isn’t sexual or about her pain or her being traumatised.’” The Idol, starring Lily-Rose Depp and The Weeknd (Abel Tesfaye), was…

It’s midafternoon. You’re full from lunch. The day is warm. You’re starting to feel drowsy. Should you give in to the comfort of a nap? From a health perspective, it may be worth it. Though there is some debate over whether napping benefits everyone, research suggests naps can boost at least some people’s cognitive performance in the short term. And a regular midday snooze might also have longer-term impacts, from a possible improvement in cardiovascular health to a bulwark against the loss of brain volume—potentially a protective factor against dementia. “If you can fit in a nap of anything up…

What determines whether we become overweight? Aside from lifestyle, predisposition plays a role, but genes cannot fully explain the inherited propensity to accumulate excess weight. A new study by Charité — Universitätsmedizin Berlin in Science Translational Medicine* shows that a kind of formatting of the DNA code in one gene that is associated with satiety is implicated in a slightly elevated risk of excess body weight — at least in women. This “epigenetic marking” is established early on during the embryonic stage. People who are overweight, especially those who are severely overweight, are at increased risk of a number of…
