Of all the questions that I’m asked as a beauty editor, how to actually get rid of dark circles has to be up there as one of the most widespread enquiries. Dark circles are all-inclusive when it comes to who they target, from my teenage sister whose laid-back approach to studying often results in all-nighters spent at the library to my friend who has forgotten what sleep is since becoming a mum of three.Luckily, there are things that you can do to combat dark under-eye circles if they are bothering you—and one of the simplest places to start is with a decent eye…

Coastal erosion threatens archaeological sites on every continent. Sixty percent of Africa’s 284 coastal sites of “outstanding universal value” could be at risk from a one-in-100-year extreme coastal event by 2050. And 42 of Europe’s Unesco World Heritage Sites in low-lying coastal regions of the Mediterranean are at risk of erosion. “Current climate change projections, coupled with human impacts, mean that the future is bleak for the ancient remains of many archaeologically rich coastal sites,” Marriner says.Archaeologists have few tools to prevent the destruction resulting from drought; budgets already strain to protect the most important sites.

Ian Sullivan evaded trouble for now, but how long is that sustainable? Ian was in full-blown withdrawal throughout The Resident Season 6 Episode 4, and it was nerve-wracking to witness. He barely pulled off an intricate surgery on an infant, raised many flags with his colleagues, and he torpedoed whatever progress he made in his relationship with Cade.  While a doctor dependent on substances isn’t new in this series, they’ve fully committed to fleshing it out more than they previously had. We’re getting the full scope of how Ian’s addiction, withdrawal, and his attempts to hide it are impacting him.…

Nearly nine in ten cases of sudden cardiac death (SCD) due to hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) in young people are preceded by symptoms, ECG abnormalities or a positive family history, according to a new study published this week in the open-access journal PLOS ONE by Erik Börjesson of Sahlgrenska University Hospital, Sweden, and colleagues.

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Average Joe? Average Joe has been a long time coming. Years ago, one of my favorite coffee stands changed ownership while I was on vacation. When I returned to find a nude barista serving my coffee, I was speechless and, I’ll admit, a little embarrassed. It turned out the new owner was a high school friend of my husband. We had a good laugh about the situation, but that experience planted the seed. I knew I had to write a book about a bikini barista. What’s your favorite genre…

I am so torn over how to evaluate Star Trek: Lower Decks Season 3 Episode 7. On the one hand, it’s a wholly innovative, wildly creative, multi-layered narrative that they went all in on. I mean, they redid the entire opening credits for a single episode. That’s commitment. On the other hand, it’s an entire episode devoted to an incredibly unlikeable character that forces us to imagine birdman on robot coitus—more than once. Mating mechanics aside, Peanut Hamper’s arc is genius in that it’s really just a flat line that we’re deceived into believing is character development. The homage to…

Truths should be stubborn things, right? Not in today’s society. A set of polls conducted this summer revealed about 70 percent of Republican voters still believe that Joe Biden did not win the 2020 presidential election, despite extensive bipartisan investigations into voter fraud that validated the trustworthiness of the election. Online, the YouTube suggestion algorithm has been shown to steer viewers toward more extreme or far-fetched videos, spreading conspiracy theories and fringe beliefs. And users on other platforms such as TikTok and Twitter deliberately disseminate misinformation about lifesaving vaccines. Lies, extremism and the manipulation of reality seem to be common…

Mayara da Silva Santos, doctoral candidate at the University of Freiburg’s Institute of Physics, has discovered a new oxidation state of rhodium. This chemical element is one of the most catalytically important platinum-group metals and is used, for example, in catalytic converters for automobiles. Rhodium is actually already well studied. What helped Silva Santos make the rare discovery of a surprisingly high oxidation state was a new approach: As part of her doctoral dissertation, she is studying unusual transition metal oxides. Her discovery of so-called rhodium(VII) has just been published as a very important paper in the journal Angewandte Chemie.…
