Mapping the Margins: The Internet's Invisible Hand in Reproductive Care

We don’t often think about the internet as being good for our health. In fact, “internet” and “health” are primarily related in a negative context in online spaces -- we’re getting too much screen time, we’re “chronically” online, etc. It may come as a surprise, but access to the internet is commonly recognized as a "super" determinant of health. Limited internet access has been linked to high mortality rates during the COVID-19 pandemic, and having the internet in easy reach means we can stay

8 Healthy ‘Three-Parent’ Babies Born in UK Using Pioneering IVF Technique

So-called “three-parent” babies are thriving in the U.K. New clinical trial research shows that several healthy children in the country have been born with the DNA of three people. Doctors at Newcastle University led the study, which involved around two dozen women with a high risk of passing down harmful mutations of their mitochondria to their children. So far, eight kids have been born using an in vitro fertilization (IVF) technique that replaces a mother’s damaged mitochondrial DNA with tha

UK launches £500M package to support diverse, underrepresented investors and founders

The British Business Bank, owned by the UK government, is creating a £500 million (around $674 million) economic package to help support diverse and underrepresented fund managers and founders in the country. Fifty million pounds will be set aside for female-led venture funds, which means the BBB has now committed at least £100 million (around $135 million) to supporting female-led ventures and the government’s Invest in Women Taskforce. Meanwhile, £400 million (around $539 million) will go to

All Gaming Laptops Should Copy the HP Omen Max 16’s All-Too Obvious Feature

We’re scraping the bottom of the barrel for innovations in gaming laptop design. Every big black rectangle can start to look the same, where shopping online for your next mobile gaming rig is like trying to meander through a hall of mirrors. The HP Omen Max 16 would be like every other laptop—even miss out on a few marks for overall feel compared to the competition—if it weren’t for the simple addition of a 2.4GHz receiver built into the shell. It’s an Apple-like feature that offers seamless con

Doctors Are Warning That Ozempic’s Severe Side Effects May Outweigh Its Benefits

Image by Roberto Pfeil / picture alliance via Getty / Futurism Rx/Medicines As weight loss jabs like Ozempic and Wegovy become ever more popular, doctors are growing increasingly concerned about their gnarly side effects. As Germany's Deutsche Welle notes, people who take glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonist/receptors, the class of drugs that the popular shots fall under, have reported everything from stomach issues and vision changes to erectile dysfunction and even suicide. Though clinic

Alexander Skarsgård Ruined Multiple ‘Murderbot’ Finale Scenes by Crying

Season one of Murderbot wrapped up in a way that was sad yet hopeful—read io9’s recap here—with the underlying joy for fans that the Apple TV+ series will be returning to adapt more of Martha Wells’ Murderbot Diaries stories. And Alexander Skarsgård, who plays the title character, felt plenty of human emotion welling up while he was portraying the self-aware robot in the finale. Speaking to Collider, the actor, who’s also one of Murderbot‘s executive producers, spoke about the scene, in which h

Physicists Solve a 50-Year Mystery About a Critically Important Molecule

After relying on an educated guess for decades, scientists have finally confirmed the dipole moment of aluminum monochloride (AlCl), an elusive but important molecule known to sneak around the interiors of ancient galaxies. An electric dipole moment is a measure of polarity—a crucial determinant for many physical properties of any system, such as its boiling point or solubility. Given its importance, the new result, published last month in Physical Review A, presents exciting opportunities for

"Mansplaining Audacity": President of Signal Watches in Bemusement as Random Man Explains Her Company's AI Strategy to Her

The act of mansplaining is alive and well on social media. Since what feels like the dawn of time, overconfident men have condescendingly explained how things work, even when they're woefully wrong and unqualified. Look no further than a baffling exchange on Bluesky after Meredith Whittaker, the president of encrypted chat platform Signal and chief advisor to the AI Now Institute, promised "no AI clutter, and no surveillance ads, whatever the rest of the industry does." It was a striking comm

The whiplash of covering Summer Game Fest 2025 in LA

I love going to Summer Game Fest. It’s a rare opportunity to connect with my colleagues and friends in person, as well as listen to developers talk about why they make their games. In some ways, this year’s SGF gave me everything I love about the event. But while I was comfortably ensconced in a happy bubble, the escalating conflict between demonstrators protesting against immigration raids and the Los Angeles Police Department cast a dark and soul-shaking pall that could not be ignored. Everyt

The Night Shift Might Be Harming Women More Than We Thought, Study Finds

Asthma is a chronic respiratory disease that often causes sudden and intense shortness of breath. The disease impacts around 339 million people worldwide, and in the U.S. nine people on average die from asthma every day. Researchers in the U.K. have found that women who work night shifts are more likely to have moderate or severe asthma than women who work during the day. The study, published Monday in the journal ERJ Open Research, does not reveal any such tendency in men working nightshifts,

Michael Sheen Sounds Unconvinced That the ‘Good Omens’ Finale Special Will Be Released

It’s been a roller-coaster of emotions for Good Omens fans since that heartbreaking season two finale. News that the Prime Video adaptation would get a third and final season came in December 2023; the following year, production was reportedly paused amid the allegations against showrunner and source material co-author Neil Gaiman. Then, fans learned Gaiman was reportedly pulling back from Good Omens season three—followed by the announcement in October 2024 that season three was going to be a 90

Twitch’s new storage limits will purge huge swaths of Internet gaming history

Popular Amazon-owned game streaming platform Twitch announced Wednesday that it will be imposing a 100-hour limit on the archived video highlights users can preserve permanently on the site. And while Twitch says that only 0.5 percent of users will be affected by these new limits, gamers are warning that the move threatens to eradicate large swaths of recent gaming history from the Internet. Highlights, in Twitch's own words, are a way for Twitch streamers to "show off your best moments to new

Brand-new women’s focused Swizzle Ventures skyrockets past its fundraising target

Swizzle Ventures has closed its Fund I at $6.6 million, bypassing its initial $3 million target, Jessica Kamada, the firm’s founder, told TechCrunch. Back in December, TechCrunch reported that the firm, which quietly launched in 2023, was raising and has already bypassed $5 million, per its SEC filing. The thesis of Fund I will focus on women’s health and wealth, touching upon issues such as caregiving and finances. Kamada told TechCrunch that 70% of the fund’s LPs are women and 50% are expert
