The smarter women are, the more hostility they face. In the U.S. & China, the higher women’s IQs, the less they're liked—and the more they’re undermined by coworkers. Men pay no price for being bright. It's long past time to recognize female intellect as an asset, not a threat.

Most experiments fail, and negative results rarely get published. This means LLMs are unaware of the outcomes of most experiments.

Some of Australia's largest mining companies receive hundreds of millions in diesel fuel tax credits - BHP alone received $622 million last financial year. At a time when the budget is under pressure and Australians are feeling huge cost of living pressures, these subsidies need to end. We should be capping fuel tax credits to look after farmers and small miners but make the biggest miners pay the full price for diesel like everyone else. theguardian.com/world/2026/m…

HUGE NEWS! This morning, the owners of Newcastle Waters instructed management to immediately cease plans for the culling of 20,000 native corellas & galahs. When thousands of Australians speak up for our iconic nature, the world listens. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you.

Iceland—previously the only Arctic nation without mosquitoes—no longer holds that distinction. "The detection of mosquitoes just north of Reykjavík in 2025 reflects an ecological shift already underway," write Amanda M. Koltz and Lauren E. Culler in a new #ScienceEditorial.

Coral reefs are secretly connected across vast oceans – and that’s crucial for their survival
