By Dani Blum A poolside margarita, a frosty beer at a Memorial Day barbecue — summer, you could argue, is made for a cold drink on a hot day. But why does a daytime buzz feel different from after-dinner drinks? And is there any way to ward off the evening hangover? Perhaps unsurprisingly, there have...
Brain size typically declines with age, but the severity and prevalence of that decline may be related to lower activity levels, higher food consumption, and other evolutionary changes in lifestyle that are common in industrialized societies. An NIA-funded study of two indigenous South American groups, published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, supports...
By Stacey Colino Doctors don’t usually prescribe spending time in nature to their patients but perhaps they should. A robust body of research shows that being in green spaces — such as parks, woods, forests, mountains, and the like — is beneficial for people’s physical and mental well-being.

But at its heart, it promises upward mobility, the opportunity to attain success no matter what situation you might be born into. In a recent paper titled The Intergenerational Persistence of Poverty in High-Income Countries, academics at Bocconi University and Rockwool Foundation...
When you visit the tiendas, mercados, and supermercados of Cuenca for the first time you’ll find a number of fruits that are familiar to North Americans and, for the most part, people all over the world. On the other hand, you’ll discover fruit you’ve never seen before, many of bizarre-looking that could straight out the...
By Brooke Steinberg Here’s to heart health — and a much-deserved moment to unwind. A new study published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology revealed that light to moderate alcohol consumption can lead to a long-term reduction in the brain’s stress activity, ultimately lowering the risk of heart disease.

By Carol E. Leutner When I was working on my Masters in Business Administration at the University of New Mexico some decades ago, I was required to take a course in economics. This was fine with me. Politicians were beginning to blame all of the country’s ills on the state of the economy and I...
By Rowan Atkinson Electric motoring is, in theory, a subject about which I should know something. My first university degree was in electrical and electronic engineering, with a subsequent master’s in control systems. Combine this, perhaps surprising, academic pathway with a lifelong passion for the motorcar, and you can see why I was drawn into...
