Is veganism really the best choice?
Veganism is a lifestyle that excludes all animal products from one’s diet and other aspects of life. That means no meat, eggs or dairy but it can also include things like honey, leather, wool, silk, or anything else that comes from animals.  People choose this lifestyle for different reasons, some for ethical reasons, others for environmental reasons, and some do it for health reasons. Some studies have found that vegan diets can improve heart health and lower risk of some cancers, such as breast, prostate, and colon cancer. Is veganism better for your health than eating meat? Is it better for the environment? And for the animals? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions !

Could tourism quotas help preserve endangered local environments?
5th June 2023 was World Environment Day and summer holiday period is upon us. It’s worth bearing in mind that overtourism has become a real nuisance. As tourists, it’s not exactly fun being in a highly overcrowded area, but it’s even worse for the natural environment. Could tourism quotas be one way of addressing the problems? In mid-June 2022, the island of Corsica brought in quotas for three iconic sites: the Bavella needles, the Restonica valley and the Lavezzi islands. 180,000 tourists visit these sites each year, a figure which is expected to rise to 200,000 by 2026. Tourists will now need to make advance reservations online in order to visit them, with parking spots also limited. The Lavezzi islands will have a particularly strict tourism quota of 2,000 outside visitors per day. Are there similar examples elsewhere in the world? Will tourism quotas start spreading everywhere now? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions !

Is it bad to hold in your pee?
I’m sure you can imagine a few scenarios in which you might have resisted the need to pee in the past. It may have been due to the toilets being unclean or closed. Sometimes, a little more privacy would be appreciated, especially at work, for example. There are a number of factors which influence the number of times we pee over the course of a day. These include age, bladder size, the weather, any medication we’re taking, what we drink and the amount we drink for example. Pregnant women also tend to pee more often. On average though, we go to the toilet between four and seven times a day. What explains urinating very frequently or infrequently? Can holding in pee lead to a urinary tract infection? What should you do when you have difficulty holding in urine? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions !

Why does looking at the sun make me sneeze?
We usually sneeze to protect ourselves from irritants such as pollen, dust, or chemicals. But there are some people who consistently sneeze when they look at the sun. In fact, this affects from 10 to 35% of us when we move from being in the shade to bright light, according to PBS.org. If it happens to you, perhaps you’ve been wondering if it’s an allergy to sunlight, but actually it isn’t. The reaction triggered by sudden exposure to light is called the photic sneeze reflex. It is a congenital physiological anomaly that’s pretty common and totally harmless. Why does this reaction occur? What happens in the body when we sneeze? Should you suppress a sneeze?

How to spot a heart attack if you are a woman?
A heart attack can be deadly but thankfully there are life saving treatments out there. However, research from the British Heart foundation has found that women are not receiving the same standard of care as men. Although heart disease and heart attacks are more common in men it is more likely to be fatal for women. In fact heart attacks kill twice as many women in the UK than breast cancer does.

What is “Act your Wage”, Gen Z’s latest work-life trend?
After "quiet quitting" and "conscious quitting", here’s yet another new phenomenon related to the world of work that’s growing in popularity. “Acting your wage” involves putting in a certain amount of work, that’s in proportion to your salary. In other words, no going above and beyond; no extra hours and no unattainable goals. And no additional responsibilities outside of your job description, unless your wage goes up first.

What’s the best sleeping position?
Side, stomach or back; what kind of sleeper are you? Some people say that our sleeping position reflects what kind of person we are. .. While we can’t really comment on how much truth there is to that, we can say for sure that it has an impact on sleep quality and consequently our mood in the morning.

What is limb lengthening, the cosmetic procedure going viral on social media?
Many of us would like to be a couple of inches taller, given all the advantages that seem to come with being tall. We feel like we might have a better love life or be perceived as more powerful for example. But there’s not really anything we can do about our height. Or is there? Going back to the 1940s, Soviet doctor Gavril Ilizarov realised that following a fracture, bones like the femur tend to gradually expand to fill the void left behind. He pioneered certain techniques to treat mutilated soldiers returning from World War II. And still to this day, techniques inspired by the work of Ilizarov are still being used. In most cases, this surgery is performed for reconstructive purposes, but bone lengthening is increasingly requested for cosmetic reasons. How does limb lengthening work?

Where does Mother’s day come from?
Mother’s Day is celebrated in many countries around the world, but not always on the same date. For some it’s observed on the second Sunday of May, for others it  falls on the fourth Sunday of Lent but it can also be on the first Sunday of May; the last Sunday of May or even the first Sunday in June. Well, that’s because Mother’s Day has different origins and meanings in different cultures and regions. The early Christian celebration of mothers was called Mothering Sunday.  It became less popular in the 16th century, when England broke away from the Catholic Church but was revived in the early 20th century by a woman named Constance Smith...

Why were the queen’s bees told of her death?
Queen Elizabeth II was crowned on June 2nd, 1953. Today, it is difficult to comprehend the Queen's death. The announcement of the sad news of the Queen’s passing, like all of the events following her death, followed strict protocol. The Prime Minister was informed using a pre-arranged code “London Bridge is down”. And somewhere, deep in the gardens of Buckinham palace, the royal beekeeper informed the royal bees. That’s right the beekeeper, John Chapple, who’s been the Queen’s beekeeper for 15 years and takes care of up to a million bees, personally went to each hive in both Buckingham palace and Clarence house, to let them know that the queen was dead. Interviewed for the daily mail he said ‘You knock on each hive and say, ‘The mistress is dead, but don't you go. Your master will be a good master to you.’ He then said a little prayer and put a black ribbon on each hive.   Why does he tell the bees? Where does this tradition come from ? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions !

What is ergophobia, the fear which can throw our careers off track?
Many of us have joked in the past about being allergic to work, or afraid of it, but did you know that there’s actually a real phobia of work?Have you ever felt anxious or stressed about going to work? Do you dread the thought of facing your boss, your colleagues, or your tasks? Do you avoid applying for jobs or quit them easily? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you might have ergophobia. It’s an extreme, irrational, and debilitating fear of working and of the features of work, such as specific tasks, social relationships, or speaking during meetings. It is considered a form of social phobia or performance anxiety, and is also recognised as a derivative of burnout, due to constantly feeling pressure or excessive expectations at work.

Why are brain chips becoming a reality?
In late May 2023, Elon Musk’s neurotech startup Neuralink announced that it had received authorization from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to carry out its first in-human clinical trials. Neuralink's brain chips have already allowed monkeys to play video games simply by following the screen with their eyes. The hope is that the technology will allow paralysed humans to communicate by moving mouse cursors and typing using their minds. In the long run, there are hopes the technology could even treat or cure other conditions like blindness and mental illness. What is a brain implant? Why implant chips in the brain?

How can I use the 80/20 method to save money?
If you’re like many people, you probably want to save more money but hate the idea of budgeting. Maybe you don’t like tracking every single expense or feeling restricted by spending categories. Maybe you just want a simple and flexible way to manage your money without too much hassle. That’s where the 80/20 method comes in. Also known as the anti-budget or the “pay yourself first” budget, it’s a simple approach to saving money that doesn’t require a lot of maths or planning. It works by dividing your take-home income into two parts: 20% for savings and 80% for spending. How does the 80/20 method work? Why should I use the 80/20 method? How can I use the 80/20 method?

Should my next holiday be a staycation?
May 29th was Spring Bank Holiday in UK. Going on holiday is cool, but not always within reach for everyone. It requires time, as you may need to get your leave request approved by your employer, and money. In recent years, a new kind of holiday has been catching on: the staycation. It generally refers to a trip which doesn’t require any overnight accommodation. The idea comes from the United States and really took off following the financial crisis from 2007 onwards. Middle class Americans no longer had the means to go on holiday, so they got creative. The idea then spread to Europe, and more specifically the UK, in 2009, when currency exchange rates became unfavourable. Isn’t that kind of the opposite of a holiday? Is it really possible to relax while surrounded by reminders of work and stress? How has the staycation concept evolved in the last few years? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions !

What are the four types of attachment in our relationships?
The types of attachment were theorized by British psychologist John Bowlby in the 1950s. They are widely used to help us understand how we react to situations in our relationships, whether it be with romantic partners, friends or family members.   Bowlby relied on research on the impact of early separations between infants and their mothers, and emphasized the importance of attachment relationships in the social and emotional development of children, as well as their long-term mental health.

What does the future hold for Marvel Cinematic Universe?
On May 3, 2023, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3 was released. It has received positive reviews from critics and has grossed over $660 million worldwide, becoming the third-highest-grossing film of 2023. Marvel has long been one of the most prominent and iconic publishers in the world of American comics. From the turn of the century onwards, its cinematic adaptations breathed new life into the franchise. It started out with the somewhat timid X-men film in the year 2000, but really took off with the launch of the shared MCU universe in 2008, when Iron Man was released. Since then, superhero films have become a genre of their own and even took over the blockbuster format. A whopping 28 MCU films have been released in cinemas in total, split across four phases. And with Ms Marvel having recently landed on Disney Plus and Thor: Love and Thunder hitting the big screen next month, the Marvel Cinematic Universe is showing no signs of slowing down.  Has the MCU managed to keep up momentum since Avengers Endgame?

Why are we obsessed with presenteeism?
The trend of workplace presenteeism has increased in recent years, especially during the COVID-19 crisis. A September 2020 report by RAND Europe suggests that presenteeism is mainly driven by stress, suboptimal mental health, lack of sleep and poor financial well-being, which have all intensified during the pandemic. Presenteeism is the practice of being present at one's place of work for more hours than is required, especially as a manifestation of insecurity about one's job. It can also refer to the practice of coming to work despite illness, injury or anxiety, which often results in reduced productivity.  How does presenteeism manifest itself? And what are the causes?

What is the snowball method of paying back debt?
The snowball method is based on the idea of paying off your smallest debt first, while making minimum payments on the rest. Then, you take the money you were paying on that debt and apply it to the next smallest debt, and so on until you’re debt-free. This way, you create a snowball effect that builds momentum and motivation as you see your debts disappear one by one. What are the advantages? What are the disadvantages?

What is Munchausen Syndrome?
If you have heard of Munchausen Syndrome before, it’s far more likely you’ve seen it represented in popular culture than in real life. Like a lot of psychological syndromes, it’s used as a dramatic device in many films and series, like Sharp Objects or The Politician to name just a couple.  The most recent example is The Act, which was created by Nick Antosca and Michelle Dean, and first appeared on Hulu in 2019. The series was inspired by a real-life case in the United States, and tells the story of a mother who convinces her daughter and the world that she suffers from leukemia, muscular dystrophy, and other disorders.

Is the fertility cliff real?
Many women have heard of the so-called “fertility cliff”, the idea that their chances of getting pregnant drop dramatically after the age of 35 and, people who do choose to have a baby are labeled “geriatric” or “high risk” leading what is called ‘care cascade’ such greater monitoring and testing which can be intrusive and unnecessary.   This concept first came about from a study done in 2004, however, they used data from French birth records from the 17th and 18th centuries, which is not really relevant to modern women as it was based on a population with very different living conditions, health care, nutrition, and life expectancy compared to modern women.

Love Island is a typical example of a show that people love to hate-watch. The practice has become more and more widespread in recent years with the rise of streaming platforms. It seems mutual hatred makes for a strong bond! The term was actually invented back in 2012 by Emily Nussbaum, a well-known critic for the New Yorker. She talked about how she couldn’t stop watching musical drama series Smash, despite finding it terrible from start to finish. It’s along the same lines as the “So bad it’s good” trend, which Ryan Bailey used to name his hugely popular podcast, which explored all the pop culture we love to hate.

Could insects replace meat?
