“It’s going to be pulse-pounding,” executive producer Joseph C. Wilson promises of The Equalizer‘s Season 3 premiere. We’d expect nothing less from badass vigilante Robyn McCall (Queen Latifah) — just look at her in the exclusive sneak peek above. To recap, just as she was about to tell her teen daughter Delilah (Laya DeLeon Hayes) and her Aunt Vi (Lorraine Toussaint) that she was returning temporarily to the CIA — to head a task force aimed at quashing nemesis Quinn’s (Chris Vance) plans to detonate a dirty bomb in New York — their car was T-boned and Robyn was kidnapped.…

Consuming a fat molecule produced by gut bacteria appears to offer protection against anaphylaxis caused by peanut allergy Health 21 August 2022 By Carissa Wong Peanuts can cause severe allergic reactionsJJ Gouin / Alamy Consuming a fat molecule produced by gut bacteria may prevent mice with severe peanut allergies from experiencing a life-threatening immune reaction. The findings suggest the approach could prevent this anaphylaxis reaction in people with food allergies and it could even prevent people developing allergies in the first place. Anaphylaxis commonly involves nausea, abdominal pain and impaired breathing or trouble swallowing. Over the past decade, researchers have…

Puerto Rico’s power grid has suffered multiple blows from recent disasters. Hurricane Maria, a devastating and deadly storm, pummeled the island in 2017, causing widespread damage and months of an agonizing blackout for many residents. It was almost a year before the last house was reconnected to the grid. That storm highlighted the fragile state of Puerto Rico’s grid and prompted calls for change. In 2020 the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) allocated almost $9.5 billion to the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority (PREPA), the island’s bankrupt public utility, to repair the grid. By mid-June 2022, $12.8 billion had been…

As Bachelor in Paradise Season 8 gets underway on ABC, returning cast member Aaron Clancy is setting the record straight about his interactions with costar Genevieve Parisi. To hear him tell it, he and Genevieve were “completely platonic” after she got the boot from The Bachelor Season 26, despite another contestant’s accusations to the contrary.

Michèle Koppes, professor of glaciology at the University of British Columbia, will discuss the impact of rising sea levels and disappearing glaciers on communities that rely on the seas for tourism and their economies, and the impact on all of us who rely on fresh water to drink.Next, WIRED’s global editorial director, Gideon Lichfield, will lead a panel discussion with Sylvia Earle, president and chair of Mission Blue, an organization fighting to protect marine ecosystems, and Sophia Kianni, founder of the Climate Cardinals and US representative to the UN Youth Advisory Group on Climate Change, on what a new generation…
According to ARRS’ American Journal of Roentgenology (AJR), the contrast-enhanced in-phase Dixon sequence could reduce the need for correlation among other imaging modalities to better identify areas of prior biopsy during breast MRI interpretation. “Compared with clinical sequences, contrast-enhanced in-phase Dixon had higher sensitivity for detecting breast biopsy clips on MRI, as well as higher reader confidence and contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR), without change in positive predictive value (PPV),” wrote corresponding and co-first author, Michael W. Taylor-Cho, MD, MPH, of Duke University Medical Center in Durham, NC. Dr. Taylor-Cho and team’s retrospective study numbered 164 women (mean age, 50.3 years) with…

An emerging field explores how groups of molecules condense together inside cells, the way oil droplets assemble and separate from water in a vinaigrette. In human cells, “liquid-liquid phase separation” occurs because similar, large molecules glom together into dense droplets separated from the more diluted parts of the fluid cell interior. Past work had suggested that evolution harnessed the natural formation of these “condensates” to organize cells, providing, for instance, isolated spaces for the building of cellular machines. Furthermore, abnormal, condensed — also called “tangled” — groups of molecules in droplets are nearly always present in the cells of patients…

Throughout the years, many plot points on The Walking Dead have provoked fan ire. Glenn (Steven Yeun) and Abraham’s (Michael Cudlitz) gory ends in the lineup. Carl Grimes’ (Chandler Riggs) unexpected gut-punch death, which still stings. Andrea’s (Laurie Holden) demise at the conclusion of Season 3, which baffled comics fans. But surprisingly, one of the most controversial moves from a show known for its sudden and heartbreaking deaths has been…all but confirming who lives. In The Walking Dead’s early seasons, the jig was much the same as on Game of Thrones: Almost anyone could go, at any time. Yes, certain…
There’s something about this time of year that always makes me want to book into the salon for a hair change. Whether it’s choosing a new autumn hair colour trend or opting for a brand-new haircut, the possibilities are endless at the hands of a hairdresser. I’ve always worn my hair long, but I’m really feeling a hairstyle change this season. My appointment for balayage is booked, and I’m also considering some face-framing bottleneck bangs to switch things up a little. It’s fair to say that my Instagram Saved folder and Pinterest boards are filled with autumnal balayage and timeless bob haircuts.…
“There’s no going back to 2019,” says Abraar Karan, a physician and infectious-disease researcher at Stanford University who studies the role of air filtration in reducing infection. “The dead aren’t coming back. The long-term consequences won’t be fully appreciated until we have more time to analyze them. And the variants aren’t going away.”When the pandemic began, we could imagine that the restoration of specific things we’d put on hold would signal life was returning to normal. Schools would reopen; masks would come off; offices would fill back up, and restaurants would buzz with diners. Thirty months on, we got all…

Instead of sitting in a tattoo chair for hours enduring painful punctures, imagine getting tattooed by a skin patch containing microscopic needles. Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology have developed low-cost, painless, and bloodless tattoos that can be self-administered and have many applications, from medical alerts to tracking neutered animals to cosmetics. “We’ve miniaturized the needle so that it’s painless, but still effectively deposits tattoo ink in the skin,” said Mark Prausnitz, principal investigator on the paper. “This could be a way not only to make medical tattoos more accessible, but also to create new opportunities for cosmetic tattoos…

Many years ago as a teen, I heard a quote that really resonated with me: “The reason grandparents and grandchildren get along so well is that they have a common enemy.” Sam Levenson, an American humorist, said it, and I instantly understood it. My grandmother was so fun, but my mom was a drag. But as I got older, I realized, my mother’s relationship with her own mother was the same as mine: they had a complicated relationship, too. Complicated family dynamics make…

Many decisions were made, some we might disagree with, but it is what it is. Strap in as we explore all this. Most of us wanted to see a great battle and were not disappointed.

Over the past year, as people stopped making appointments with health care providers to check for COVID and shifted to taking home tests instead, health officials lost their tight grip on case tallies. And in turn, it became tougher to spot a new viral variant or wave of the pandemic. Thankfully epidemiologists had a solution—in poop, or rather sewage. In September 2020, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention established the National Wastewater Surveillance System (NWSS) with the goal of collecting and testing local levels of the virus that causes COVID at treatment plants across the country. While the idea…

There’s nothing wrong with my SodaStream, but it’s been looking a bit long in the tooth lately. It’s a Jet model that’s gotta be around 10 years old and is scuffed up enough that I moved it from my countertop to a cupboard in a fit of appliance shame.Perhaps this was why at a recent trade show I paused longer than I otherwise might have in front of a Swedish steel-and-glass number called the Aarke Carbonator Pro. With a riveted-on name tag, the whole thing would be right at home in a grad-school science lab. When I called one in…

Who says video game movies never live up to the hype? It’s not a hard rule. Will Speck and Josh Gordon are stepping up to the plate to adapt The Oregon Trail. Somehow, it seems like video game adaptations are treated as sacred. You have to really care about the source material, otherwise, rabid fans aren’t going to be happy. The Oregon Trail does hold a special place in the hearts of many kids of the ’80s and ’90s. But it’s a weird game overall.The Oregon Trail wasn’t really something many people went out of their way to play because it was…
The Tampa Bay area has all the hallmarks of hurricane vulnerability: a large urban population, extensive coastal development and a network of easily flooded rivers. The only thing missing has been a hurricane. But with Hurricane Ian bringing Category 4 winds, 10 feet of storm surge and up to 25 inches of rain, experts are warning about massive and lasting damage to Florida’s second-most populous metro area. “There will be catastrophic flooding and life-threatening storm surge,” Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) said Tuesday. Disaster modeler Enki Research said Ian would cause at least $54 billion in damage—roughly the same cost of…
