Let’s just skip spring and head straight into summer, shall we? Because unless you’re taking a long Easter holiday—and if that’s the case, I’m jealous—then the real fun comes when the beach is warm enough for minidresses, denim shorts and, of course, swimsuits. Looking ahead to the sunny season, I found a handful of celeb-approved trends that are sure to be popular come June. For example, since the cut-out trend shows no signs of slowing down, it’s no surprise that it also translates into swimwear. Dua Lipa recently Instagrammed her one-piece swimsuit with a cutout at the waist, so I found plenty of…
At a roundtable that Bowles attended in May, a meeting leader said they were going to answer “questions from the team,” despite the fact that he was unaware of questions having been solicited. “If we form a union, could we lose our benefits?” read one anonymous question, to which the leader answered yes. The meeting leaders then listed off individual benefits, such as a generous mental health leave policy, and asked employees to raise their hand if they used it. “Then they’d look at people and say, ‘That mental health benefit you take advantage of, that could be gone.’” Bowles…
Doechii has teamed up with SZA for a new remix of the former’s recent single “Persuasive.” The Tampa rapper teased the rework earlier this month with a video suggesting that SZA’s feature was a surprise. “I created ‘Persuasive’ to uplift people and bring communities together,” Doechii said in a press release, “so having SZA jump on the song was a perfect fit because I’ve always connected with others over her music.” Listen to the remix of “Persuasive” below.“Knowing that SZA is with [Top Dawg Entertainment] was what originally got me most excited about being on this label, so now that…

Organ transplant recipients take life-long immunosuppressive drugs to prevent their bodies from mounting an immune response against the donated organ, yet a substantial number of them still reject the organs. A new study by researchers from the University of Chicago shows that transplant recipients also mount an immune response against commensal bacteria in the organ graft, adding to the immune response against the genetic makeup of the tissue and reducing the effectiveness of immunosuppressive drugs. The study, published today in the Journal of Clinical Investigation, also shows that this anti-microbial immune response can be triggered by immune cell memory of…

Credit: Chris Meyer, Indiana University As the BA.5 omicron variant continues to spread, health experts are increasingly preparing for a future in which such COVID-19 variants emerge, surge and recede, similar to seasonal flu. An important part of staying on top of these changes will be the ability to quickly monitor the virus at a “population scale,” an effort that will require accurate and ultra-fast testing.

Right about now, beach pics are probably creeping up on your feed, which can only mean one thing—it’s finally time to think about swimwear. It’s been a long time coming, but swimsuit season has fully commenced, and with it are a plethora of options to consider.As much as I adore a good one-piece (it’s a classic for a reason), today, I’m strictly addressing the bikini fan club. A lot of swim brands exist out there, but I’ve narrowed it down to the suits that dazzle above the rest. And whether you’re a minimalist, a “more is more” kind of person, or a hard-core…
NASA and the Psyche team declined interview requests until an independent review of the mission delay has been completed. Agency officials will make a decision about next steps based on that review in the coming months, said Lori Glaze, head of NASA’s planetary science division, at last month’s press conference.

This system has…

There was just one problem: four unsold parcels of roadway left over from Billings, Peachy, and Naglee’s subdivision over 150 years earlier.Two of the parcels are long and skinny—measuring about an acre. Google hopes to build a parking structure beneath one. The third, on what is now Barack Obama Boulevard, is a tenth of an acre. The fourth, tucked away in a dusty dead end, is only as big as four ping-pong tables. The legal status of all four plots is murky.Google points to sections of California civil code as confirmation that it, or possibly the city of San Jose,…

Using a curated nanoparticle library, the researchers screened nanoparticle-cell interaction profiles of hundreds of cancer cells simultaneously. By incorporating omics annotation, they identified biological features, or biomarkers, that mediate nanoparticle delivery to cells. They generated trafficking networks and discovered a biologic regulator of lipid-based nanoparticle delivery. PLGA, polylactide-co-glycolide; PS, polystyrene. Credit: Natalie Boehnke et al, Science (2022). DOI: 10.1126/science.abm5551 Using nanoparticles to deliver cancer drugs offers a way to hit tumors with large doses of drugs while avoiding the harmful side effects that often come with chemotherapy. However, so far, only a handful of nanoparticle-based cancer drugs have been FDA-approved.…
