Where does Father's Day come from?
15 jun 2023 4 minFather’s Day is a holiday that honours fathers and celebrates their role in society. It’s celebrated in the United Kingdom on the third Sunday of June, but it wasn’t always a national holiday. In fact, it was imported from the United States, where it started in the early 20th century. The idea of Father’s Day was first proposed by Sonora Smart Dodd, a woman from Spokane, Washington, who wanted to show her appreciation for her father, William Jackson Smart. He was a Civil War veteran and a widower who raised six children by himself. Who came up with the idea of Father’s Day and why? How did Father’s Day become a national holiday in the United States?

Why do we get pins and needles?
14 jun 2023 4 minWe all know what it feels like to get pins and needles. It usually happens when we’ve been in the same position for too long, sleeping on one of our arms for example. Bad posture when seated can make this more likely to happen. It’s a slightly uncomfortable feeling of numbness and tingling, as if someone was raking your skin repeatedly with small pointed objects. That’s where the name “pins and needles” comes from, which goes back to the mid-19th century, according to word-detective.com. There is a scientific term for the sensation too by the way: paresthesia. Where does the pins and needles reaction come from? Can it be related to diseases ? When should we worry?

Is excuseflation contributing to rising food prices?
14 jun 2023 5 minIt won’t have escaped your attention that the price of your weekly shopping basket at the supermarket has gone up significantly in the last year. Indeed, recent data from Kantar suggests that families are now spending an extra £16 per week on food shopping, due to inflation. More and more people are being plunged into food insecurity. But what can be done? Well, in late May 2023, UK Chancellor Jeremy Hunt warned that new rules could be brought in to force supermarkets to treat shoppers fairly. And Bank of England governor Andrew Bailey has previously said that interest rates will continue increasing if companies keep increasing food prices. What is excuseflation?

What is retinol, the miracle anti ageing skincare treatment?
13 jun 2023 4 minRetinol is a form of vitamin A, which is essential for healthy skin. It has many benefits such as smoothing wrinkles, exfoliating dead cells, clearing pores, and fading dark spots. Retinol works by stimulating the production of collagen, which is the protein that gives your skin strength and structure, and by speeding up the turnover of skin cells, which means it helps remove old cells from the surface of your skin and reveal fresh ones underneath.

How does the "Scully Effect" raise young women's interest in science fields?
13 jun 2023 4 minThe musical film The Little Mermaid was released in cinemas on 24 May 2023. This movie highlights the importance of representations in the media. This effect has a name: the Scully Effect. The combination made for an unprecedented representation of women on TV at the time, with audiences far more accustomed to seeing scientists played by white men. The fields of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics are grouped together under the name of STEM professions. And Dana Scully was one of the first female characters in such a field to feature on prime-time TV, which would inspire a generation of young women to start careers in STEM professions.

What is the best time of day to take a shower?
12 jun 2023 4 minYouGov data from 2019 showed that 49% of Brits shower once per day, while 20% do so 4 to 6 times per week. And 6% even shower more than once per day!

How can I recognise ultra-processed foods?
11 jun 2023 5 minWhat do chicken nuggets, margarine and instant noodles all have in common? Wel, they may look tasty, but they’re loaded with sugar, salt, fat and chemicals that strip away their nutritional value. That’s due to the heavy processing that goes into making them, which sees them completely transformed from the original raw ingredients. And they’re increasingly ever present on our shelves and in our stomachs. In 2022, the National Institute for Health and Care Research found that ultra-processed foods made up almost two-thirds of Britain’s school meals. Furthermore, the British Medical Journal has reported that ultra-processed foods account for 56.8% of total energy intake in the UK diet. Can you identify them by looking at the ingredient lists on product packaging? What’s the difference between processed foods and ultra-processed foods?

What is Karoshi, the dangerous overwork epidemic?
10 jun 2023 5 minThe subject we’re talking about today is most associated with Japan, but is also relevant in many other parts of the world. The Japanese word “Karoshi” means "death by overwork". In a broad sense, it refers to workers who die suddenly from a bodily failure like a stroke or heart attack due to extreme stress and long working hours. Let’s look into the causes and consequences of a phenomenon that affects millions of workers in Japan and beyond. Overworking in Japan actually became very common during the post WW2 economic boom, when the country rapidly rose to the status of the world's second-largest economy, after the United States.

What is the medication Ozempic and why is it being used for weight loss?
8 jun 2023 4 minOzempic is a brand name for a medication called semaglutide, which is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), to treat type 2 diabetes.

Ozempic can also lower your risk of having serious heart problems, such as heart attack or stroke, if you have type 2 diabetes and heart disease. But Ozempic is not only used for diabetes.

What is the optimism bias?
7 jun 2023 5 minToday we're going to talk about a cognitive bias that causes people to believe, often mistakenly, that they are less likely to experience negative events and more likely to experience positive events than others. Estimates suggest that 80% of us display what’s known as the optimism bias. For example, we might think that we are less likely to get sick, lose our job, or have a car accident than the average person. We might also think that we are more likely to live longer, be successful, or win the lottery than others. Why do we have such a bias? And how does it affect our decisions and actions?

What are subway shirts, the viral anti-harassment trend?
7 jun 2023 4 minAs we head towards another summer, isn’t it a relief to be able to shed the layers and wear lighter clothing when out and about? Well, if you’re a woman, you might have mixed feelings about that, due to the constant threat of unwanted attention from strangers when wearing summer clothes in public. And a lot of the time, it goes further than just unwanted attention.

Is veganism really the best choice?
6 jun 2023 4 minVeganism is a lifestyle that excludes all animal products from one’s diet and other aspects of life. That means no meat, eggs or dairy but it can also include things like honey, leather, wool, silk, or anything else that comes from animals. People choose this lifestyle for different reasons, some for ethical reasons, others for environmental reasons, and some do it for health reasons. Some studies have found that vegan diets can improve heart health and lower risk of some cancers, such as breast, prostate, and colon cancer. Is veganism better for your health than eating meat?

Is it bad to hold in your pee?
5 jun 2023 4 minI’m sure you can imagine a few scenarios in which you might have resisted the need to pee in the past. It may have been due to the toilets being unclean or closed. Sometimes, a little more privacy would be appreciated, especially at work, for example. There are a number of factors which influence the number of times we pee over the course of a day. These include age, bladder size, the weather, any medication we’re taking, what we drink and the amount we drink for example. Pregnant women also tend to pee more often. On average though, we go to the toilet between four and seven times a day. What explains urinating very frequently or infrequently? Can holding in pee lead to a urinary tract infection?

Why does looking at the sun make me sneeze?
4 jun 2023 5 minWe usually sneeze to protect ourselves from irritants such as pollen, dust, or chemicals. But there are some people who consistently sneeze when they look at the sun. In fact, this affects from 10 to 35% of us when we move from being in the shade to bright light, according to PBS.org. If it happens to you, perhaps you’ve been wondering if it’s an allergy to sunlight, but actually it isn’t. The reaction triggered by sudden exposure to light is called the photic sneeze reflex. It is a congenital physiological anomaly that’s pretty common and totally harmless. Why does this reaction occur? What happens in the body when we sneeze? Should you suppress a sneeze?

What is “Act your Wage”, Gen Z’s latest work-life trend?
3 jun 2023 5 minAfter "quiet quitting" and "conscious quitting", here’s yet another new phenomenon related to the world of work that’s growing in popularity. “Acting your wage” involves putting in a certain amount of work, that’s in proportion to your salary.

What is limb lengthening, the cosmetic procedure going viral on social media?
2 jun 2023 5 minMany of us would like to be a couple of inches taller, given all the advantages that seem to come with being tall. We feel like we might have a better love life or be perceived as more powerful for example. But there’s not really anything we can do about our height. Or is there? Going back to the 1940s, Soviet doctor Gavril Ilizarov realised that following a fracture, bones like the femur tend to gradually expand to fill the void left behind. He pioneered certain techniques to treat mutilated soldiers returning from World War II. And still to this day, techniques inspired by the work of Ilizarov are still being used. In most cases, this surgery is performed for reconstructive purposes, but bone lengthening is increasingly requested for cosmetic reasons. How does limb lengthening work?

Where does Mother’s day come from?
1 jun 2023 4 minMother’s Day is celebrated in many countries around the world, but not always on the same date. For some it’s observed on the second Sunday of May, for others it falls on the fourth Sunday of Lent but it can also be on the first Sunday of May; the last Sunday of May or even the first Sunday in June. Well, that’s because Mother’s Day has different origins and meanings in different cultures and regions. The early Christian celebration of mothers was called Mothering Sunday. It became less popular in the 16th century, when England broke away from the Catholic Church but was revived in the early 20th century by a woman named Constance Smith...

What is ergophobia, the fear which can throw our careers off track?
31 mei 2023 5 minMany of us have joked in the past about being allergic to work, or afraid of it, but did you know that there’s actually a real phobia of work?Have you ever felt anxious or stressed about going to work? Do you dread the thought of facing your boss, your colleagues, or your tasks? Do you avoid applying for jobs or quit them easily? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you might have ergophobia. It’s an extreme, irrational, and debilitating fear of working and of the features of work, such as specific tasks, social relationships, or speaking during meetings.

Neuralink's brain chips have already allowed monkeys to play video games simply by following the screen with their eyes.

Should my next holiday be a staycation?
30 mei 2023 5 minMay 29th was Spring Bank Holiday in UK. Going on holiday is cool, but not always within reach for everyone. It requires time, as you may need to get your leave request approved by your employer, and money. In recent years, a new kind of holiday has been catching on: the staycation. It generally refers to a trip which doesn’t require any overnight accommodation. The idea comes from the United States and really took off following the financial crisis from 2007 onwards. Middle class Americans no longer had the means to go on holiday, so they got creative. The idea then spread to Europe, and more specifically the UK, in 2009, when currency exchange rates became unfavourable. Isn’t that kind of the opposite of a holiday? Is it really possible to relax while surrounded by reminders of work and stress? How has the staycation concept evolved in the last few years? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions !

What are the four types of attachment in our relationships?
28 mei 2023 4 minThe types of attachment were theorized by British psychologist John Bowlby in the 1950s. They are widely used to help us understand how we react to situations in our relationships, whether it be with romantic partners, friends or family members.

What does the future hold for Marvel Cinematic Universe?
27 mei 2023 5 minOn May 3, 2023, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3 was released. It has received positive reviews from critics and has grossed over $660 million worldwide, becoming the third-highest-grossing film of 2023. Marvel has long been one of the most prominent and iconic publishers in the world of American comics. From the turn of the century onwards, its cinematic adaptations breathed new life into the franchise. It started out with the somewhat timid X-men film in the year 2000, but really took off with the launch of the shared MCU universe in 2008, when Iron Man was released. Since then, superhero films have become a genre of their own and even took over the blockbuster format. A whopping 28 MCU films have been released in cinemas in total, split across four phases. And with Ms Marvel having recently landed on Disney Plus and Thor: Love and Thunder hitting the big screen next month, the Marvel Cinematic Universe is showing no signs of slowing down.

Why are we obsessed with presenteeism?
26 mei 2023 4 minThe trend of workplace presenteeism has increased in recent years, especially during the COVID-19 crisis. A September 2020 report by RAND Europe suggests that presenteeism is mainly driven by stress, suboptimal mental health, lack of sleep and poor financial well-being, which have all intensified during the pandemic. Presenteeism is the practice of being present at one's place of work for more hours than is required, especially as a manifestation of insecurity about one's job. It can also refer to the practice of coming to work despite illness, injury or anxiety, which often results in reduced productivity. How does presenteeism manifest itself? And what are the causes?

24 mei 2023 5 minLaunched by a Polish startup in 2017, PimEyes is a powerful facial recognition software tool, which uses reverse image search technology. Just like with Google image search, users can submit an image of a person’s face and Pimeyes will find all images of that person online, providing links to the websites where they are located. It can be helpful for locating images that are difficult to find elsewhere, but there are also a host of privacy concerns. Pimeyes has been labelled the “most disturbing website on the internet” and “a stalker’s dream”. What is facial recognition? How does PimEyes work in practice? Why is this software problematic ?
