'Animals were imprisoned in jails where humans were incarcerated': The bizarre trials of the Late Middle Ages — and surprising lack of criminal cats
'Animals were imprisoned in jails where humans were incarcerated': The bizarre trials of the Late Middle Ages — and surprising lack of criminal cats Animal trials took place across Europe from the Late Middle Ages until the end of the 18th century. In this excerpt from "Cats: A History", Rod Phillips explores this strange practice, and looks why cats appear to have been largely law-abiding. In this excerpt from "Cats: A History" (Johns Hopkins University Press, 2026), author Rod Phillips,...
Why you need to future proof your brain in middle age and how to start
To chart how our brains change over the course of our lives, neuroscientists have focused largely on beginnings and endings: the rapid development and pruning of neural connections in childhood and adolescence, and the degeneration associated with old age. “We kind of skipped over middle age,” says Sebastian Dohm-Hansen, a bioinformatician at University College Cork in Ireland. There are good reasons for that, not least that changes in brain structure and function are easier to spot with...
Americans born after 1970 face higher death rates from several major causes in middle age
Americans born after 1970 are dying faster than their parents did, data shows. New analysis from Tufts University reveals that Gen Xers and millennials are failing to outlive their predecessors, dying at higher rates from common chronic illnesses and external causes than previous generations did when they were the same age. Data shows that U.S. life expectancy has steadily improved for most of the 20th century, meaning each generation generally lived longer than the one before it.
A blood test could flag Alzheimer’s risk early. But how reliable is it?
Scientists have developed a blood test that could spot signals of Alzheimer's disease at a much younger age. A simple blood test may soon help identify people at higher risk of Alzheimer’s disease years before they develop symptoms, according to a new study. Researchers at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) in the United States, found that certain Alzheimer’s-related proteins in the blood were linked to small differences in thinking and memory among middle-aged adults who did...

Ronaldo, other ageing stars push limits to make history at World Cup 2026
Ronaldo, other ageing stars push limits to make history at World Cup 2026 Experts say sport science is just part of a complex system of factors needed to extend longevity in football. After playing at Qatar 2022 at age 35, US national team defender Tim Ream thought it was “pretty unlikely” he could play in another World Cup. But he decided he would at least try to stay in the game as long as possible.
Iberian DNA remained largely unchanged for six centuries before Roman influence, study finds
Iberian DNA remained largely unchanged for six centuries before Roman influence, study finds Lisa Lock Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor A study led by a UAB research team of Biological Anthropology has analyzed the genome of 54 newborns with the aim of tracking the genetic history of their culture since it developed in the Early Iron Age until the start of the Roman period, some 2,700 to 2,100 years ago. Despite being in contact with other Mediterranean cultures, the genetic...
A Gift From the Basketball Gods
There is, for me, an out-of-time quality to the recent string of crazy, wonderful Knicks playoff games. I find myself lying awake night after night reviewing jump shots made, fouls committed, and shots blocked, always anxious for what lies ahead. Half a century ago, this routine had a certain age-appropriate insanity to it.
American Christians Face a Choice
ROBERT JEFFRESS, the pastor of the First Baptist Church in Dallas, has long been one of Donald Trump’s most fawning supporters. By his own account, one reason for his loyalty is that Trump embodies an ethic—cruel, vengeful, and mendacious—that Jeffress and many millions of evangelicals and fundamentalists not only tolerate but welcome. In an NPR interview in 2016, Jeffress explained, “I don’t want some meek and mild leader or somebody who’s going to turn the other cheek.
