People in Europe, especially the countries that are closer to the equator, really know how to dress for summer, their looks anchored with an effortlessness that’s difficult to emulate. Difficult, but not impossible. Embracing the sun-kissed season, stylish Europeans (and those visiting the region) are opting for breezy silhouettes, vibrant colours, and lightweight fabrics to inform their summer wares, and I for one wouldn’t mind dressing like them. So, let’s take a look at the European summer fashion trends that are currently dominating, shall we?I don’t know what it is, but Europeans have a penchant for ’90s-style dressing. This is…

Despite the simultaneous WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes currently in motion in Hollywood, The Last of Us Season 2 might hit HBO on schedule. Craig Mazin, the co-creator of the post-apocalyptic drama, told Deadline he and the other writers of the show made inroads on the second season before the WGA strike deadline. “We got pretty far actually,” he said. “We were doing great.” Mazin — pictured with TLOU stars Merle Dandridge and Pedro Pascal below — also revealed that the writers have a plan for the whole season, and they finished the script for the first episode. “So now I’m…
Repeatedly heading a soccer ball has been previously associated with negative long-term brain health for professional players. However, in a new study from researchers at the Minds Matter Concussion Program at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP), a small number of repeated soccer headers equivalent to a throw-in did not cause immediate neurophysiological deficits for teens, suggesting that limited soccer heading exposure in youth sports may not result in irreversible harm if players are properly trained. The findings, which represent the most comprehensive real-time study of soccer headers in adolescent athletes, were published in the Journal of Biomechanical Engineering. For some…

An artist’s impression of muons, created by cosmic rays, showering EarthHiroyuki K.M. Tanaka/University of Tokyo A navigation system based on high-energy particles created by cosmic rays has been successfully tested underground for the first time. The technology could one day be used to guide underground and underwater robots, and even aid search and rescue efforts in collapsed mines or buildings. Existing navigation tools like GPS use radio waves to triangulate a position, but these signals tend to be absorbed or reflected by water or thick rock. “That’s why it’s difficult to use GPS in indoor or underground environments,” says Hiroyuki…

ABC is switching up its Monday slate after lower-than-expected ratings for The Bachelorette Season 20. The current season, with Charity Lawson, has been airing for the last month and is currently down almost 60% in the demo vs. The Bachelorette Season 19. Season to date, the dating series is averaging 1.9 million viewers and a 0.33 rating in the all-important 18-49 demo. The lower numbers could be attributed to ABC airing the series in the 9 p.m. hour instead of its regular 8 p.m. lead-off spot. ABC has clearly taken notice of the dismal TV ratings and hopes moving the…

Season six is now on Netflix, along with the whole back catalog—including one Christmas special and an interactive movie.The show, created by Charlie Brooker and producer Annabel Jones, is a modern take on classic anthology series like The Twilight Zone.

However, a study by Rice University ecologist Lydia Beaudrot and collaborators reports for the first time that tropical mammals living inside protected areas are not spared the effects of human activity even when it occurs outside of the protected boundaries.

This year, the relationship between the LGBTQ+ community and the corporations looking to lure them with special Pride month merchandise has been, well, fraught. Following boycotts from conservative consumers against companies, like Anheuser-Busch, that opted to feature queer creators on social media, brands seem less willing than usual to share supportive messages during June. Others, like Target, have removed some of their Pride merchandise from stores after receiving backlash. Still others have maintained their Pride campaigns despite the turmoil.All of which has led some LGBTQ+ consumers and creators to reassess which corporations really supported their rights, and which were just…

Of all the ways to discuss science, debating debunked antivaccine activists, historically speaking, is an awful idea. Having one moderated by a clueless contrarian, and buoyed by a loudmouthed billionaire, would be one surefire way to make it even worse. That’s precisely the circus that vaccine scientist Peter Hotez wisely refused in mid-June, amid a storm of angry invective and even threats on his life. Even without adding the unedifying spectacle of the world’s richest man, Elon Musk, most popular podcaster, Joe Rogan, and a sycophantic fanbase into the mix, debating debunked antivaccine activists such as Robert Kennedy, Jr., is…

We then traverse back downtown to Chicago as Sydney (Ayo Edebiri) indulges in Kasama’s Filipino breakfast sandwich that makes your mouth water at the sight of the toasty bun and the buttery, crispy goodness of the fresh hash brown.

The river Itchen is a chalk stream in Hampshire, UKTommy Lee Walker/Shutterstock A plan to restore chalk streams in England, a vital type of river that plays host to species such as kingfishers, mayflies and dragonflies, may take decades despite millions of pounds worth of investment. England is home to 85 per cent of the world’s chalk streams – rivers that rise from springs found on 60-million-year-old chalk bedrock and have particularly nutrient-rich water. Of the 220 chalk streams in England, only 17 per cent are in good ecological health, according to the Environment Agency, due to a range of…
