As a high schooler and for most of my adult life, I assumed college was simply the next step. So much of my education was focused on preparing for college, getting good grades, and following the same path that everyone around me seemed to be following. Looking back, I never stopped to ask whether college was even the right choice for me. Now, as a mom with children facing these same decisions, I find myself asking very different questions. This isn’t about being anti-college, but about challenging assumptions and exploring alternatives. It’s about helping our kids make intentional choices rather…

Lumos is a company known for designing bicycle helmets with integrated lighting systems. Its previous models focused primarily on visibility and safety, helping cyclists become more noticeable and predictable to car drivers on the road. The latest model, called Sonorus, is designed with an emphasis on communication and audio features, adding a built-in mesh intercom system. It is currently seeking backing on Kickstarter.Riding with a group of friends is a lot of fun, but most of the time it’s not really that convenient for having a conversation. It’s hard to catch up on life updates while riding on the shoulder…

The role of a traitorous antibody in triggering inflammatory bowel disease has been described in detail in a new study published this month in the New England Journal of Medicine.For the first time, researchers have linked a gene thought to be responsible for ulcerative colitis with a mechanism of attack, opening the way to new diagnostic tools and opportunities for treatment.In the 1990s, scientists from the University of Oxford in the UK discovered a potential connection between the immune gene HLA-DRB1*01:03 and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).Now, in a study led by researchers from the same university, scientists have shown how…

I’ve been getting on my soapbox about mouth health for over 15 years now. I’ve interviewed some fascinating oral health experts on the podcast and written tons of articles. This is the ultimate roundup list of everything you need to know about natural oral care! Our mouth health is about more than just a nice set of pearly whites. It’s an important indicator of overall health. When our body isn’t doing well, it shows up in our smiles. Sore and inflamed gums, yellow or loose teeth, bad breath… these all point to other health issues as a root cause. I’ve…

Peugeot has launched its first ever electric GTi with an image of the new car alongside a 40-year-old Peugeot GTi. Not many new car launches would be so brazenly retro. Aren’t EVs bought by forward-looking motorists rather than lovers of the past?Using an image of its own 205 GTi from the 1980s, Peugeot seems to be trying to revive the concept of a ‘hot hatch,’ a special sporty version of a standard small family hatchback. You don’t hear the phrase much today because there’s a perception that electric power and modern technology have destroyed the need. They’re all darned fast…

Australia’s camper vans generally pale in comparison to its bombproof off-road camper trailers. But if there’s one name building camper vans fit to be hitched in towing tandems with the likes of the Track Tvan and Mosfab Cosmos, it’s Trakka. The Sydney-area builder has a long history of turning Volkswagen’s variably-sized vans into Outback-ready expedition machines. Now it focuses its attention on turning the T7 Transporter, VW’s newest van, into a more versatile, rugged California-style camper van with an options sheet that trumps VW’s own. And this time around, it adds a whole new twist.The all-new T7-based Trakkadu doesn’t look…

In a new MIT study – in partnership with Purdue, Northwestern, and Duke universities – chemists have discovered that inserting weaker bonds into polystyrene actually makes the material more resistant to damage.The weaker bonds are dispersed throughout the material as cross-links known as mechanophores, and upon a sudden strike, those mechanophores selectively snap at the impact site, absorbing the impact energy more effectively.In their experiments, the researchers demonstrated how when the cross-linked polystyrene was struck with a high-speed particle, the temperature at the impact site increased high enough to form an adaptable zone that broke, leaving the surrounding area unaffected.…

Every day in the US, an average of 6,000 women enter menopause. Now, scientists from the University of Vermont’s College of Medicine have uncovered significant evidence of the neurological changes in the brain during this significant life stage, paving the way to finally understanding and ideally treating midlife cognitive decline.“With decades of life remaining after menopause, it is important to understand the neurological effects of hormone changes at midlife,” says Abigail Testo, a postdoctoral research associate in the lab of study lead Julie Dumas. “Our research contributes to the growing body of work examining the relationship between menopause and the…
