Everybody poops, but have you ever wondered why, out of all the colors, poop is the color brown? While this question might seem like a simple biological curiosity, doctors will likely tell you that the color of your poop is no laughing matter. That’s because poop isn’t always brown, and when it’s not, it can tell you a lot about what’s happening inside your body. Poop is brown because the body is typically very good at making sure that no useful food goes to, well, waste. Your body breaks down nearly all of the energy sources it can from what you eat,…
In the U.S., people eat more protein than they need to. And though it might not be bad for human health, this excess does pose a problem for the country’s waterways. The nation’s wastewater is laden with the leftovers from protein digestion: nitrogen compounds that can feed toxic algal blooms and pollute the air and drinking water. This source of nitrogen pollution even rivals that from fertilizers washed off of fields growing food crops, new research suggests. When we overconsume protein—whether it comes from lentils, supplements or steak—our body breaks the excess down into urea, a nitrogen-containing compound that exits…

Imagine seeing one of the summer’s biggest blockbusters and hearing your name mentioned — something that will never happen to most of us, but did happen to comedian Chris Kattan recently, after he went to see Jordan Peele‘s Nope. “I remember sitting in the theater thinking, ‘Oh my god, that is nuts, that is so crazy,’” he tells Consequence. “I couldn’t believe it.” The Oscar-winning director’s newest film is a horror sci-fi tale, but it’s packed with real-life references mixed in with fiction. Perhaps the hallmark example of this comes when former child star Ricky “Jupe” Park (Steven Yeun) is…

The signs of labor can differ from one woman to another, and even for the same woman they may change from one pregnancy (opens in new tab) to the next. Although there’s no way to predict how a woman’s labor will progress or how long it will last, there are a few common signs of labor. What initiates labor, however, is less clear. “We don’t really know what mechanisms bring on labor,” said Leslie Ludka, a certified nurse midwife and the director of midwifery at Cambridge Health Alliance in Cambridge, Mass. “Science hasn’t figured this out yet.”Labor is likely initiated when…

But for Meghan’s 41st birthday today, the royals gave a rare look into the current state of affairs with the Duchess of Sussex—or the version they want the public to see, anyway. Prince Charles; Camilla,…
That privileges the extremely online: people who can afford broadband and have the leisure to monitor a website and hammer a mouse button. “When there’s such scarcity, equity is impossible,” says Joseph Osmundson, a queer activist and author, and a molecular microbiologist and clinical assistant professor at New York University. “Only people who are immensely socially connected, and with ample time and ability to advocate for themselves, are able to get access. It makes it not possible to reach the people who may need it most.”Getting some people vaccinated is better than none. But for ring vaccination to succeed, the…

A handout image obtained on August 23, 2022 courtesy of the Dinosaur Valley State Park shows dinosaur tracks from around 113 million years ago.

It is “one of the longest dinosaur trackways in the world,” a caption accompanying the images says. Stephanie Salinas Garcia of the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department said…
Changes in DNA can lead to the development and progression of cancer. DNA serves as a template for an intermediary molecule called RNA that, in turn, codes for proteins that control all cellular processes.

In a new article published in Cancer Research, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research, Moffitt Cancer Center researchers describe how RNA molecules promote the…
Be afraid—be very afraid—of the man you meet in your freshman chemistry class.

The series is poised to closely follow the notoriously sexy source material, deemed “a chemical reaction, exploding with sex, drugs, and all things that make a relationship toxic.” Whether Hulu hopes Tell Me Lies will become its answer to Netflix’s You or its own beast entirely remains to be seen, but the…
