What is Munchausen Syndrome?

If you have heard of Munchausen Syndrome before, it’s far more likely you’ve seen it represented in popular culture than in real life. Like a lot of psychological syndromes, it’s used as a dramatic device in many films and series, like Sharp Objects or The Politician to name just a couple.  The most recent example is The Act, which was created by Nick Antosca and Michelle Dean, and first appeared on Hulu in 2019. The series was inspired by a real-life case in the United States, and tells the story of a mother who convinces her daughter and the world that she suffers from leukemia, muscular dystrophy, and other disorders. Why would anyone do something like that? Where does the Munchausen part come from? Why is this syndrome so prevalent in pop culture? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions !

Why do our stomachs rumble?

It can be embarrassing when your stomach rumbles in public, but it’s a totally natural bodily function. The scientific name for those rumbles or growls is borborygmi, a term invented by the ancient Greeks. We tend to associate stomach rumbles with hunger, but that’s not totally true. In reality, our stomachs rumble regularly, whether we’re hungry or not. It's just that when the stomach is empty, the noise becomes louder. That’s because when the stomach is full, its contents muffle the sounds. What actually causes the rumblings? Can certain factors increase stomach rumbling?

Why does hair turn grey?

Greying hair can be triggered for a number of reasons, genetics; some people’s hair turns grey earlier than others. Stress, a recent study in mice showed that stress can cause stem cells to leave the hair follicle and migrate to other parts of the body, leaving no cells to produce melanin. Some Illnesses like thyroid disease and of course ageing. But could the days of grey hair be over? Possibly.  A new study conducted by scientists from New York University Grossman School of Medicine have discovered why hair turns grey and how to stop it happening. Well at least in mice.  What are the cells that produce hair colour and how do they work? So why is hair going grey?

Why do we blow out candles on birthdays?

It’s a scene that plays out in millions of homes across the world every day. There’s a sense of anticipation as the lights go out, only for the room to be lit up by candles as a friend or family member brings in a yummy-looking birthday cake. Guests start singing more or less in unison, more in less in tune, depending on how much alcohol has been consumed, and the birthday girl or boy politely waits until they finish before blowing the candles out.

How can I spot a liar?

Lying is the act of deliberately making a false statement or concealing the truth. People might lie for different reasons, like to avoid getting into trouble, to get something they want, to make someone feel better, or to look good in front of others. However, lying is not always easy or comfortable. When people lie, they have to deal with two conflicting realities: the truth and the lie. This can make them feel stressed or nervous. They have to remember what they said, watch how they act, and guess how others will react. They may also feel guilty, scared, or worried about being found out or exposed. So how can you tell if someone is lying to you? What are some verbal clues? What are some non-verbal clues? What changes for them physiological? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions !

Is the five second rule a real thing?

How do you react when a piece of food you’re eating falls to the floor? Some people would throw it away in disgust, while others would still eat it, perhaps after rinsing it under water or blowing on it. Of course, there’s those that abide by the five second rule. That’s the popular belief that suggests any food is still fit for consumption as long as it hasn’t been on the floor for longer than five seconds. So does the time a piece of food spends on the ground affect how likely it is to be contaminated by germs and other bacteria? Back in 2016, researchers from Rutgers University in the United States looked into the matter from a scientific approach, and published their findings in the Applied and Environmental Microbiology journal. How did they test the five second rule? What impact did the surface and food type have? So does eating food that’s been on the floor make you sick then? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions !

Could Bare Minimum Mondays protect us from burnout?

It’s common to feel a little anxiety on a Sunday evening as your relaxing weekend draws to a close and you start thinking about your return to the office the following morning. Indeed, a YouGovAmerica survey published in 2021 found that 58% of workers said Monday was their least favourite day of the week. With that in mind, American startup founder Marisa Jo Mayes created and trademarked the Bare Minimum Monday concept in 2023. She promoted it through TikTok, where it went viral. The idea is pretty simple: doing as little as possible on the first workday of the week helps reduce stress and gently get back into your work routine. What constitutes doing the bare minimum then?

Why do we get addicted to social media?

A recent report from CyberCrew revealed how UK residents spend an average of 110 minutes per day on social media. Many of us start scrolling before we’ve even got out of bed in the morning, in an almost automatic way. Social networks can have a similar effect on the brain to certain addictive substances. According to Healthline.com, they stimulate the brain’s reward system. When you log in to your favorite social media platform, you get a burst of dopamine, a chemical that makes you feel good and motivates you to seek more of the same stimulus.

What are the dangers of using Botox?

Botox is the name of a brand that offers a popular cosmetic treatment that involves injecting a toxin into the facial muscles to reduce wrinkles and signs of aging. The poison that they use, botulinum toxin, blocks the nerve signals that instruct the muscles to contract so make the appearance of fine lines, like crows feet or frown marks appear smoother. It can also be used in some medical procedures that involve involuntary muscle movement, spasm, sweating or to help migraine. A cosmetic treatment costs between £100 to £350 and lasts for three to four months. But it  does have some side effects and complications that people should be aware of before undergoing the procedure. What are some of  the side effects?

How does the Matthew Effect help us understand class inequalities?

“The rich get richer and the poor get poorer”, the saying goes. And there’s actually a name for that phenomenon: the Matthew Effect. The term was first coined by sociologists Robert K. Merton and Harriet Zuckerman in 1968, in relation to how “already eminent scientists were given disproportionate credit in cases of collaboration or of independent multiple discoveries.” In other words, if a group of scientists made a discovery together, with equal input, the most famous one would tend to get the most credit. Unfair, right? But sadly true! The Matthew Effect was not limited to scientific citations. Other researchers found that it also applied to wealth and status in society.

What is stealth wealth?

Stealth wealth or quiet luxury as it is sometimes known is the practice of concealing one's wealth or not flaunting one's money or possessions, but rather keeping them private and discreet. It’s the kind of luxury that keeps a low profile and doesn't try to stand out with big logos or loud statement pieces. But that does not mean people don’t know you are wealthy, at least some people do. Look at the successful show ‘Succession’ where the uber rich wear logo-free, exquisitely tailored clothes that fool no one as to their price tag. Why do some people choose to be stealthy?

What is the European Political Community, the continent’s intergovernmental organization?

The European Political Community was launched in 2022 to discuss the future of Europe, mainly in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. French President Emmanuel Macron first suggested the EPC’s creation in a speech to the European Parliament back in early May. Less than six months later, the first summit was held in Prague. Despite initially opposed to the creation of the EPC back in June as Foreign Secretary, Liz Truss was in attendance in Prague. It’s thought she still remains somewhat skeptical, she made it clear she doesn’t want the new organisation to “cut across” NATO and the G7. Regardless, the UK will host the fourth EPC meeting in early 2024, after Moldova and Spain take their turn. Why was the European Political Community created?

How much sleep should I get each night?

We spend over a third of our lives sleeping. It allows our mind and body to recharge, which is vital for a number of reasons. It helps our immune system to ward off diseases, and the brain to function properly.

How do sim swapping scams work?

Most of us have our smartphones on our person more or less all day, every day. Our photos, payment methods and a lot of personal data are stored on them. So we’re all wary of the risk of having them stolen when out in public. But did you know there’s another way someone can take control of your phone line without you even losing the device? It’s called sim swapping and while it’s not new, it’s been on the rise in recent years. According to the FBI, Americans lost a combined $68M to sim swapping scams in 2021. One of the most high-profile examples saw Twitter founder Jack Dorsey fall prey to it in 2019.

Is Britain the new place to get your wine?

When you think of wine, you probably think of France, Bordeaux, Burgundy or Beaujolais. But we could soon be looking to Kent, Dorset and Hampshire instead, especially when it comes to sparkling wine.  Since 2000 the total amount of land in England and Wales given over to vineyards has quadrupled in size and established wine makers, particularly from the Champagne region in France are taking notice and are keen to take advantage of this new market.  In 2016, the Pommery group invested in farmland in Kent which they transformed into vineyards.

Can plants communicate with one another?

You might think that plants are silent and passive, but recent studies have shown that they can actually make sounds and send signals to each other, especially when they are stressed or under attack. Researchers at Tel Aviv University recently released their findings from a six-year experiment, which saw them record sounds emitted by certain plants. We’ve actually known for over 10 years now that plants emit vibrations, but it’s the first time that sounds have been detected, meaning it’s a groundbreaking find.

What is Extinction Rebellion ?

This environmental movement was created in England just a few years ago in October 2018, but quickly spread all across the world. Extinction Rebellion’s aim is to compel governments to take action against global warming and environmental collapse. It’s earned a reputation as a radical organisation, due to its disobedience and disruption tactics. But only using non-violent action is one of its key principles. Also known as XR, Extinction Rebellion was born from a realisation that traditional protest methods were insufficient when it came to the environment crisis. These activists felt new methods and organisation forms were required, taking inspiration from other grassroots movements like Occupy, the American civil rights movement or the suffragettes.

Why can't Royals take selfies ?

If you ever meet a member of the royal family, you might be tempted to ask them for a selfie or an autograph but don’t be surprised if they politely decline. There are some good reasons why royals don’t take selfies or give autographs as well as a whole host of other rather unusual protocols that they must adhere to.  Royals are often surrounded by crowds of people who want to see them or talk to them. Signing autographs or taking selfies could expose them to potential threats or harm. Also  it could create a lot of chaos and confusion in the crowd, making it harder for security personnel to protect the royals. But there is a more important reason... What is the problem with selfies? What are some other things that Royals can’t do?

How can I beat my work addiction?

Being a grafter or hustler is often portrayed in a positive light when it comes to the world of work. But there are a host of negative consequences that can arise when a person becomes a workaholic. The term was invented by American psychologist Wayne Oates back in 1971. Oates said workaholics had “an uncontrollable need to work incessantly”, and called it an addiction. It’s a real mental health condition, and like with other addictions, it manifests as the inability to stop doing something. So it basically means working really long hours, does it?

How is AI being used in the legal system?

ChatGPT has been invading all walks of life in recent months, and that even includes the justice system. In late March 2023, a Pakistani judge consulted the chatbot before granting bail to a 13 year old boy who stood accused of kidnapping and attempting to rape a 9 year old. According to Pakistan Observer, the judge asked ChatGPT the following initial question: ““Can a juvenile suspect in Pakistan, who is 13 years old, be granted bail after arrest?” The chatbot responded: “Under the Juvenile Justice System Act 2018, according to section 12, the court can grant bail on certain conditions.” A discussion then ensued on how this option could be interpreted when taking into account certain other laws. The judge included ChatGPT’s responses in his judgement and stated how impressed he was. The cases have led to hope that AI could help make legal systems around the world more efficient, but there’s been a lot of criticism and skepticism too. Are there any other examples aside from ChatGPT ? What are the possible risks then? To listen to the last episodes, you can click here : How is inflation affecting our eating habits?
