Because spiders are an important part of nature and our indoor ecosystem – as well as being fellow organisms in their own right. People like to think of their dwellings as safely insulated from the outside world, but many types of spiders can be found inside. Some…

Brian Jackson/Getty Images The price of asthma medication has soared in the U.S. over the past decade and a half. The jump – in some cases from around a little over US$10 to almost $100 for an inhaler has meant that patients in need of asthma-related products often struggle to buy them.

I’m a 22-year-old who was diagnosed with depression, anxiety, and Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) when I was 17. Right now, everything in life is pretty good. My relationships are going well and even work is satisfying. But there is this void in me that makes me sad all the time. I know the reason too. It’s because I’m bad with self-love. I want to change that, and do what it takes to be…

Child labour in tobacco plantations has the potential to be exposed to short-term and long-term health risks, one of them is the threat of Green Tobacco Sickness (GTS), which is which is a variety of health disorders caused by exposure to nicotine in…

Though we learn so much during our first years of life, we can’t, as adults, remember specific events from that time. Researchers have long believed we don’t hold onto these experiences because the part of the brain responsible for saving memories  the hippocampus is still developing well into adolescence and just can’t encode memories in our earliest years. But new Yale research finds evidence…
