And just like that, 2022’s best dressed couple is back on the streets doing what they do best: looking casual and cool in coordinating outfits deserving of multiple spots on our overflowing Pinterest boards. This week, Zoë Kravitz was spotted hand in hand with her boyfriend, Channing Tatum, wearing just the kind of low-key ensemble she’s become known for. Specifically, she paired a slouchy turtleneck sweater with a duster coat and the puddle-pant trend that’s been making the rounds on the A-list. Making the look even more praise-worthy, she added a Saint Laurent bag and the Mary-Jane flats she can’t seem to quit. Worn for lunch and…

[Warning: The below contains MAJOR spoilers for The Challenge: USA series premiere.] If you’ve watched at least one episode of The Challenge since it premiered in 1998, you probably have a good idea of the format: daily challenges, house drama, and an elimination. While The Challenge: USA brings in players new to the franchise — from CBS’ The Amazing Race, Big Brother, Love Island, and Survivor — that remains the same. From the moment the 28 players arrive, we hear about the drama from their past shows (Cashay and Cinco on Love Island, betrayals on Big Brother), player advantages (dealing…

“I think these videos can create narratives about how we should help the deserving poor,” says Yale professor Michael Kraus, a social psychologist who specializes in the study of inequality. “But actually all are deserving, and individual acts of charity are not a solution for poverty.” The “deserving poor” is an archaic concept, codified in England’s Elizabethan poor laws, that was designed to distinguish between people in poverty who were to “blame” for their situation, and those who weren’t, and therefore were entitled to help. TikTokkers that reward helpful homeless people arguably entrench the idea that certain people are more…

There are certain skills that once we acquire them, we rarely have to relearn them, like riding a bike or looking both ways before crossing a street. Most studies on learning and long-term memory in the wild focus on a handful of animal species. Now, in a publication in Current Biology, researchers working at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute (STRI) share the first report of long-term memory in frog-eating bats (Trachops cirrhosus). “Frog-eating bats are an excellent emerging model organism for studying cognitive and sensory ecology,” explains biologist M. May Dixon, lead author of the paper, who just finished her…

Intrigued by the properties of ion channel proteins commonly observed in cells, Tokyo Tech researchers have developed the first synthetic mechanosensitive potassium channel using a newly developed aromatic fluorinated amphiphilic cyclophane. Displaying both “stimuli responsiveness” and “selective ion transport” abilities, their new ion channel could open new doors for the future therapeutic and industrial usage of synthetic mechanosensitive channels. Nature inspires humankind in a myriad of ways. Take, for instance, “stimuli-responsive” ion transport channel proteins. These proteins are found embedded in cell membranes and respond to a variety of external stimuli, including light, pH, and mechanical force. Given their crucial…

Faced with a judge’s ruling that they cannot seek the death penalty against YNW Melly, Florida prosecutors are now fighting to overturn that decision – and asking to further delay trial for a rapper who has already been in jail for more than three years. With the first phase of a jury trial set to kick off Tuesday, prosecutors argued Friday (July 8) that Judge Andrew Siegel was wrong in his ruling last week, which said that the state had forfeited the right to seek the death penalty by failing to give Melly and his attorneys proper notice. If granted,…

The biomolecule diphthamide is essential for the proper formation of proteins in cells. When humans are infected with diphtheria, diphthamide is altered by the diphtheria toxin so that life-threatening complications can arise as a consequence of an impaired formation of proteins. Up to now, diphthamide was only known to occur in animals and fungi. A research team has now demonstrated that the biomolecule also occurs in plants. The researchers also showed that its formation can be affected by certain environmental factors. This was published in the journal Nature Communications, 11 July 2022. The study was carried out in Ute Krämer’s…

To slow down the rapid spread of tick-borne illnesses, the ideal public health strategy would be to predict where the pests are likely to be concentrated—and immediately getting this information to medical professionals and the public. That’s why researchers are trying to develop an accurate way of forecasting where dangerous ticks might be. Such a program could ideally be used like a weather map to anticipate danger areas. When it comes to tick-borne illness, forewarned is forearmed. If hikers, for example, have a forecast indicating that the woods they are passing through are likely to have dangerous ticks, they can…
