We open with a tribute to Sir Patrick Stewart, who died Wednesday at 86. Then: a study finds expert birdwatchers’ brains show less age-related change, and we look at what that does and doesn’t prove. A new study in Current Biology says year-round daylight saving time would put well over a billion m…
A new study says a junior merchant from the Dutch East India Company, shipwrecked in 1629, is the earliest documented “corporate psychopath,” and we look at what the study actually claims. Also: the SS United States, the fastest ocean liner ever built, will be sunk off Florida in November to become…
A poll covered by The Independent says about half of Americans have skipped meals because of grocery prices. We look at what several 2026 surveys actually found, and why the numbers differ. Also: a San Francisco startup is paying people $20 an hour to walk robot dogs, because the robots need real-w…

Also: The Atlantic asks the question you probably don’t want to ask AI, so we look at what an AI model trained on six million Danes can an…
IFLScience spent a night at a famously haunted British castle and came back with a better question: why do people pay to be scared? Scientists call it recreational fear, and it works because the body treats fear and excitement almost the same way. Also: a study of 57,793 older adults in 24 countrie…
A new Cambridge review in Psychological Medicine pulls together years of research on reading for pleasure. It links reading to better attention and memory, fewer mental health problems, and a lower risk of dementia, though most of the evidence shows a link rather than proof. Also: failed startups a…
A University of Michigan Mott Children’s Hospital national poll of 2,027 parents finds 81% say having a baby costs more than it should, with 40% of parents of children under 3 reporting they are struggling financially or just getting by, and only 14% saying they used none of the cost-cutting strate…
A King’s College London study of 9,632 children ages 9 to 11 in the ABCD Study found that even one caffeinated drink per week — mostly soda — was linked to smaller cortical surface area across 22 brain regions, with more caffeine linked to less sleep, and both factors associated with more mental he…
