Keep track of how many illnesses you have each year to get to grips with your immune healthVicki Turner WHEN you are under the covers, sniffling from your third cold of the year, you might wonder whether your immune system is pulling its weight. It is a question we would all love to answer: is our immune system healthy or not? Now, a burgeoning field of immunology is attempting to do just that with tests that “grade” your immune system, the idea being that it could help people preempt problems and motivate them to make lifestyle changes to avoid ill…

Every department store has its own beauty vibe. When I think of Harrods, I think of the height of luxury (and the Food Hall, of course). You can’t step into the golden-brick department store doors, kindly held open by the green-uniformed doormen, without feeling a little bit fancy. However, with that fancy feeling comes high-ticket prices. Harrods stocks hundreds of luxury beauty brands, from La Mer to Lancer and Chanel to Oto, so if you’re stepping foot inside the store or browsing online, you can expect to drop some serious dollar.

Mount Sinai researchers have published what they say is the first study to identify a new form of treatment for rapid eye movement (REM) sleep behavior disorder. This condition affects more than 3 million Americans, mostly adults over the age of 50, who often unknowingly physically act out their dreams with vocal sounds or sudden, violent arm and leg movements during slumber, leading to significant injury to themselves or bed partners. The new study, published in the Journal of Neuroscience on May 25, outlines a novel model to better characterize how REM sleep behavior disorder develops due to neurodegeneration –…
Greta Van Fleet have shared the new song “Farewell for Now.” The track appears on the Michigan rock band’s upcoming third studio album, Starcatcher, out July 21 via Lava/Republic Records. “On ‘Farewell for Now,’ we express the sentiment of our longing to stay on stage and savor the magic created by the audience-music phenomena,” bassist Sam Kiszka said in a statement. “But we must pack up and go to the next place to do it all over again; as always, we’ll be back soon.” “Farewell for Now” shows Greta Van Fleet’s softer side in a very retro-sounding ballad. The song…
Just because movies or shows are on a streaming service — even if those movies and shows are produced by said streaming service — does not mean they will be available forever.We have already seen Warner Bros. take down dozens of originals from HBO Max as a cost-cutting measure, and now Disney appears to be following suit. Last week, Disney revealed it was “removing certain content from our streaming platforms” as part of a plan to take a $1.5 million “impairment charge” — essentially a write-off of certain expenses for tax purposes. (That was the same financial strategy that led HBO Max…

Photography by Maya Fuhr, courtesy of Barbet Whether you’re going for a “damp lifestyle” or attempting to go sober for a bit, Canada’s alcohol consumption guidelines mean it might be time to pick up a mocktail. By Noor Abduljabbar and Jennifer Berry Date May 19, 2023 It’s no secret that alcohol consumption can have negative effects on our health, including an increased risk of cancer and heart disease, and we’ve all heard the saying “everything in moderation.” But have you ever wondered just how much is considered “moderation” when it comes to cocktails? Well, as even the most casual of…
Losing that sea ice won’t add to sea levels, just as melting ice cubes floating in a glass of water won’t cause the glass to overflow. (The ice is already displacing the water.) But sea ice plays a critical role in protecting Antarctica’s colossal ice shelves from deteriorating, and those could dramatically raise ocean levels if they break apart. If it totally melts, the Thwaites Glacier, aka the Doomsday Glacier, could add 10 feet to sea levels. Sea ice protects Thwaites and other glaciers because it acts like a buffer, absorbing the energy of winds and waves that would otherwise erode them. It…
Cancers often release molecules into the bloodstream that pathologically alter the liver, shifting it to an inflammatory state, causing fat buildup and impairing its normal detoxifying functions, according to a study from investigators at Weill Cornell Medicine. This discovery illuminates one of cancer’s more insidious survival mechanisms and suggests the possibility of new tests and drugs for detecting and reversing this process. In the study, published May 24 in Nature, the researchers found that a wide variety of tumor types growing outside the liver remotely reprogram the liver to a state resembling fatty liver disease via secretion of extracellular vesicles…

Enigmatic, C-shaped antler carvings from France’s Stone Age have puzzled scientists for over 150 years, but now a modern experiment investigating these artifacts may have revealed their purpose: They were likely crafted to be Paleolithic finger grips for spear-throwers, a new study finds.The discovery was made by using similar crescent-shaped devices to throw dart-like projectiles at archery targets. The success of these trials suggests that the objects — made of deer antler and called “open rings” — were once attached to now-rotted-away wooden spear-throwers: weapons also known as atlatls that were used to throw large darts at high speeds, according…
Spoilers below.A cynicism that’s frankly awe-inspiring drips through every scene of “America Decides,” the eighth episode of what’s shaping up to be Succession’s best season. But can you really call it cynicism if it’s just honesty? The episode takes an unflinching—if, as befits a show like Succession, juiced-up—look at not only what happens on election night in America but what’s already happened. The echoes of both the 2016 and 2020 presidential elections are so shrill as to be hellish, yet it’s as impossible as ever to press the dial. Roman says as much at the end of the episode, after…

Scientists at NASA’s first ever public meeting on “unidentified anomalous phenomena” — more commonly called UFOs — have called for a more rigorous scientific approach to clarify the origin of hundreds of mysterious sightings. The truth is out there—but we’re going to need to look harder. Scientists at NASA’s first ever public meeting on “unidentified anomalous phenomena”—more commonly called UFOs—called Wednesday for a more rigorous scientific approach to clarify the origin of hundreds of mysterious sightings. The space agency announced last year it was analyzing observations in the sky that can’t be identified as aerial or natural phenomena—a subject that…
Back in 1983, on a break from Queen, guitarist Brian May pulled in a number of his musical friends for a new project.

The recent Jeopardy! Masters tournament, which was won by James Holzhauer, allowed the show’s producers to try out some new things. But not all these format changes will be sticking around. In addition to introducing a soccer-style points-based format for a win, Masters let viewers see where the Daily Doubles were hidden on the board. However, the latter idea might be a one-and-done deal, as the show’s executive producer Michael Davies admits wasn’t a fan. “[Masters] was every bit as good as I hoped it was going to be, and I think we can make it better in the future,”…

“EINSTEIN attacks quantum theory.” That was the headline in The New York Times on 4 May 1935. The world’s most famous scientist and two collaborators had discovered what they saw as a fatal flaw at the heart of our greatest theory of nature. They had found that particles separated by kilometres seemed to be able to interact instantaneously with each other. Albert Einstein called it “spooky action at a distance”. Even though he had helped lay the foundations of quantum theory, Einstein felt it must be missing something. That spookiness just didn’t feel right – there must be something we…
