Astronauts on space missions lasting longer than six months suffer decades’ worth of bone loss, much of which could be irreversible, a new study has found. The finding may present a serious challenge to future crewed missions to Mars.For missions that last six months or longer, astronauts’ exposure to the microgravity of space causes them to experience bone loss equivalent to two decades of aging. And only half of the lost bone recovers after a year back on Earth, leaving them with a decade of age to their bone structure, researchers wrote in a study published June 30 in the…

The best fantasy series (audiobooks especially!) can take us out of the world we live in and introduce us to perspectives we perhaps hadn’t considered before. The role of fantasy (and sci-fi), after all, is to allow us to explore new ideas and worlds we cannot yet reach on our own. Similarly, audiobooks allow readers to experience books through a different sense than sighted people might usually access. When I’m looking for an audiobook, I generally seek something in the fantasy or cozy…
With Moordale High closing at the end of Sex Education Season 3, we’re losing a lot of key players ahead of next season. The latest exit is Tanya Reynolds, who has played Lily since the series debut. Reynolds confirmed the news to Radio Times. “I’m not [returning], actually, which is sad, very sad,” Reynolds told Radio Times. “It’s just the natural progression of these shows – when you have such big ensemble casts and so many characters, I think you have to let a few older characters go to make way for newer ones, which is absolutely the right thing,…
When two male Japanese scorpionflies fight, the loser males among scorpionflies must employ alternate tactics in order to mate with a female. Researchers from Okayama University, Japan, report the variations in alternate mating tactics employed by males in two regionally different populations of the same species of scorpionfly. Credit: Ryo Ishihara from Okayama University Owing to the high competition and the prevalence of natural selection, many male insects must develop alternative tactics to mate with a female. Weaker males who lose in a competition (or loser males) may resort to hovering or sneaking around in order to find a mate.…

Hey, folks. Ready for a wet, hot summer? Better keep the Paxlovid handy.The Plain ViewWhen I spoke to Shopify’s CEO and founder, Tobias Lütke, earlier this month, I was the first to tell him about an unfortunate headline that had just appeared: “Is Shopify the next WeWork?” Lütke, who goes by Tobi, was talking to me about a big rollout of new features for the platform, which provides tools for merchants to digitally sell their wares directly to customers.

OK. I’m convinced. I didn’t think I could possibly enjoy the last-minute twist that utilized an algorithm to choose the players. The Challenge: USA Season 1 Episode 2 showcased the full extent of the twist while filling in the blanks about the finer details of it, and ultimately, it really sets this spinoff apart from the other shows in the franchise. The name of the game on reality TV is to create drama and moments that get fans talking, and damn, there was so much to like about “Oh Say You Can See Tiffany.” We’ll start with Justine. Pairing her…
Since 2008, Boston University School of Medicine (BUSM) researchers have been studying chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) and while much has been learned, diagnosing the disease still needs to be done post-mortem on autopsied brains donated to a brain bank. One criticism of the research is that brain bank study results have a selection bias because they are based on a subset of players most affected by CTE, and therefore not representative of the population of football players. Now a novel study by researchers from BUSM and Boston University School of Public Health (BUSPH) provides further evidence suggesting a dose-response relationship…
Long gone are the days when cardigans were solely associated with mature styles of dressing. Now they’re a hero piece of their own accord and one of the foundations of a capsule wardrobe.

Now, she has to choose between the allure of an ancient vampire king and a shifter and old high school crush. If you had to pick theme songs for the main characters of Voodoo and Vampires, what…

MEXICO Scientists discovered six new species of micro frog, including one that now holds the record for Mexico’s smallest frog. When fully grown, these forest amphibians are smaller than a human thumbnail. ARGENTINA Genetic analysis showed that the Patagonian sheepdog, a breed found in Argentina and Chile, is the closest living relative to the ancestor of all U.K. herding dog breeds. European colonizers likely introduced this line nearly 200 years ago.

The microscopic leaves of a liverwort, a primitive plant that helps scientists track climate change. Credit: Photo by Lauren Johnson, Field Museum. Ask any scientist—for every “Eureka!” moment, there’s a lot of less-than-glamorous work behind the scenes. Making discoveries about everything from a new species of dinosaur to insights about climate change entails some slogging through seemingly endless data and measurements that can be mind-numbing in large doses. Community science shares the burden with volunteers who help out, for even just a few minutes, on collecting data and putting it into a format that scientists can use. But the question…

The Supreme Court today overturned the legal right to abortion in the United States, returning the ability to regulate the procedure to the states, more than half of which have promised to ban it. The decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization explicitly overturns the landmark 1973 case Roe v. Wade, which guaranteed the right to abortion, prior to fetal viability, across the country.“Held: The Constitution does not confer a right to abortion; Roe and Casey are overruled; and the authority to regulate abortion is returned to the people and their elected representatives,” Justice Samuel Alito wrote for a…
