Elon Musk is threatening to launch his own political party called the America Party if President Donald Trump’s so-called “Big Beautiful Bill” passes. And while the billionaire oligarch already suggested the idea almost a month ago after his falling out with Trump, he seems serious this time. “If this insane spending bill passes, the America Party will be formed the next day,” Musk tweeted on Monday. “Our country needs an alternative to the Democrat-Republican uniparty so that the people actual

Biologists Uncover Previously Unknown Structure Hiding Inside Human Cells

Even after decades of peering into cells, biologists are still finding surprises. In a twist, researchers at the University of Virginia and the National Institutes of Health uncovered a new organelle, dubbed the hemifusome. This tiny membrane-bound structure serves as a cellular recycling center and may hold the key to treating several genetic diseases. The research has been published in Nature Communications. “This is like discovering a new recycling center inside the cell,” co-author Seham E

Continuous Glucose Monitoring

Continuous glucose monitoring has been a thing for a while. It's a probe that sits just inside your body and measures blood glucose levels frequently. Obviously this is most useful for type 1 diabetics, who need to regulate their blood glucose manually. (At this point, I would be amiss not to give a nod to the book Systems Medicine, which I think most readers would find fascinating.

Jon Watts Left ‘Fantastic Four’ to Get His Groove Back

Before Matt Shakman took over directing duties for the MCU’s first Fantastic Four movie, Jon Watts was in charge. The director of the Spider-Man: Home trilogy dropped out in 2022, and his reasons for leaving are completely valid: he had to take a much-needed break. During a recent storytelling class at the Mediterrane Film Festival, Watts revealed he was basically “out of gas” by the time he was wrapping Spider-Man: No Way Home, which was shot in the early days of the pandemic.

'Sticky thinking' hampers decisions in depression

Though low mood is the best-known symptom of depression, indecisiveness and biased thinking are also common. But these problems, which can lead to delays in making important choices — and being more likely to make poor ones — receive less attention, write the authors of a recent paper in Emotion.
