Denmark close to wiping out cancer-causing HPV strains after vaccine roll-out

Denmark has effectively eliminated infections with the two biggest cancer-causing strains of human papillomavirus (HPV) since the vaccine was introduced in 2008, data suggests. The research, published in Eurosurveillance, could have implications for how vaccinated populations are screened in the coming years – particularly as people increasingly receive vaccines that protect against multiple high-risk types of HPV virus. Before vaccination, the prevalence of HPV16/18 was between 15 and 17%, wh

‘Wednesday’ Star Evie Templeton on Agnes’ Progression From Stalker to Friend

During a chat on the official Wednesday podcast—or rather, woecast—Nevermore newcomer Evie Templeton discussed Agnes coming into her own after being an unhinged stalker fan of Netflix’s favorite Addams. After Wednesday (Jenna Ortega) lays into her at the end of the second season of the Tim Burton show, seemingly to push her to be herself in the meanest way possible, Agnes gets gutted emotionally in a way that could have been a villain origin but goes in a surprisingly positive direction. “I th

Apple’s new Crossbody Strap makes more sense than we might think

I’ll freely admit to being one of the many people who viewed Apple’s new crossbody strap with some bemusement. Internet comments on it mostly use terms like “bizarre” or worse. But a new piece today suggests that many of us are misunderstanding Apple’s latest iPhone accessory, and that it does in fact have a valuable role … I once saw a meme which said that women want only two things in life: equality, and pockets. It’s the lack of the latter in women’s fashion which creates demand for this ty

Uber and partner Momenta will start testing robotaxis in Europe next year

Oscar Isaac Will Bring a ‘Rock Star’ Energy to His Victor Frankenstein

Entertainment Weekly recently sat down with Oscar Isaac to discuss Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein movie, which will hit theaters in October before rolling out on Netflix. While the article breaks down the overall thrust of the movie—namely, that Dr. Frankenstein is haunted by the specter of an abusive father (Charles Dance), prompting him to create new life in an attempt to break the chains of generational trauma more than scientific achievement—the piece hones in on Isaac’s quote that his po

Netflix updates its Moments feature to give users greater control over scene clipping

Netflix launched a scene-clipping feature for mobile last year called “Moments,” which lets users quickly save their favorite scenes from shows and movies within the Netflix app. The streaming giant rolled out an update on Wednesday, allowing users to specify both a starting point and an endpoint when saving a scene. People now have the option to adjust the scene’s ending, allowing them to create clips that are as long or as short as they prefer. Previously, users could only set a starting poin

An Astonishing Number of Men Are Dying Because They Refuse to Go to the Doctor

Image by Getty / Futurism Treatments Men appear to be dying disproportionately from preventable diseases and conditions way more than women, and in many cases it's their own damn fault: because they're refusing to go to the doctor until it's too late. In interviews with the New York Times, doctors and public health experts expressed concerns with the state of men's preventative care, which they say many chaps tend to ignore — to their own peril.

Robin Lakoff, expert on language and gender, dead at 82

Dr. Lakoff’s thesis that women are raised to accept a secondary role in the world, one enforced partly by the speech they are taught, sets off academic arguments to this day. Her 1973 paper “created a huge fuss,” the linguists Penelope Eckert and Sally McConnell-Ginet wrote in 2012. “Thus was launched the study of language and gender.” Dr. Lakoff observed that women’s speech was marked by hedging phrases (“like,” “y’know”), which convey that the speaker is uncertain; empty adjectives like “ado

US fertility rate fell to a record low in 2024, mirroring a global trend

In a nutshell: The CDC released data this month that shows the US fertility rate fell to an all-time low in 2024, but the number of babies that were born last year increased YoY. It means that while there were more births overall, a smaller percentage of women of childbearing age are having children. There were 3.6 million babies born in the US in 2024, up 1% compared to the previous year, according to the CDC's data. But the general fertility rate – the number of live births per 1,000 women of
