Last Friday the Food and Drug Administration approved the first oral pill specifically targeted to treat postpartum depression—the most common complication of childbirth. The new medication, known as zuranolone, works more quickly than existing antidepressant treatments for postpartum depression and is given once a day for just two weeks. One in seven people who have given birth experience postpartum depression, but roughly half of people with the condition do not receive treatment. As mental health struggles have become the leading cause of pregnancy-related deaths in the U.S., experts emphasize the importance of expanding the arsenal of treatments for postpartum depression.…

Billy Joel recently likened Taylor Swift’s current level of popularity as akin to “the phenomenon of Beatlemania,” and it’s hard to disagree — especially after seeing scenes like the one that unfolded in Long Beach Island, New Jersey on Friday. The singer, fresh off the first US leg of “The Eras Tour,” was reportedly in the area to attend producer Jack Antonoff and actress Margaret Qualley’s wedding. Once word got out of her presence, however, hordes of people congregated outside of the venue, hoping to get a glimpse of the singer. At one point, people chanted her name. Eventually, police…

Ocean scientist William Johns has been studying the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation system for nearly 20 years. Credit: William Johns/University of Miami Like the 60,000 miles of arteries and veins that course throughout the human body, ocean currents are the lifeblood of our planet—some flowing short distances, others circling the globe, but all playing a critical role in regulating climate. One of the most complex system of currents, the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, or AMOC, is a global conveyor belt, distributing heat throughout the Atlantic by carrying warmer waters north and cooler waters south. “For the Earth’s climate to remain…

At last, you will no longer have to just watch Marvel’s Loki. You will now be able to eat a small part of it.That’s what you’ve always wanted right?Yesterday, McDonald’s began teasing some sort of promotional tie-in with the upcoming second season of Marvel’s Disney+ series Loki.

In a world increasingly concerned about the environmental and geopolitical implications of fossil fuel usage, nuclear energy has resurfaced as a subject of great interest. Its ability to generate electricity at scale without greenhouse gas emissions holds promise as a sustainable clean energy source that could bridge society’s transition away from fossil fuels to a net-zero future. However, nuclear power generation does produce radioactive waste. The safe management of nuclear waste remains a crucial challenge that must be addressed to gain public confidence in this transformative power solution. Now, a team of University of Houston researchers has come up with…

“My own solution for the problem of Venice is to let her sink,” wrote British author and onetime Venice resident Jan Morris with casual mercilessness in a 1971 essay for The Architectural Review . She reiterated the point in The New York Times four years later, hammering home her point with conviction and relish: “Let her sink.”And yet Morris predicted that this would never be Venice’s fate, because “the world would not allow it.” That may be true. What she wasn’t right about was the time frame of the impending tragedy. She thought it would be a long time coming—“One…

In a bid to solve this fashion conundrum, I sifted through socials and scoured the new-in sections of some of our favourite brands to determine the very best shoes to wear with shorts, and I…

In the 1960s, stories of brainwashed prisoners-of-war during the Korean War…
Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain A new study from Michigan State University warns that gains made to address broadband and internet connectivity in Michigan rural communities are beginning to fade.

Students who have no access, those who can only go online using a smartphone, and those with slower home internet struggle to complete homework and stay connected. They are also more likely to experience deficits in academic performance and well-being. Approximately 18% of Michigan residents…
