What happens now — the enforcement mess, the global backlash, the accidental creation of the largest clean “control group” in tech-history — could reshape how we think about childhood, mental health, and what gove...

It means that you tend to give more importance to negative experiences than to positive experiences, and that you tend to focus on the negative even when the negative experiences are insignificant and inconsequential. The negativity bias therefore has a very powerful impact on...

What Is Multiple Sclerosis? Featuring Alanna Steaple
Multiple sclerosis is a disease that impacts the brain and spinal cord which make up the central nervous system and controls everything we do. The exact cause of MS is unknown, but we do know that something triggers the immune system to attack the brain and spinal cord. The resulting damage to myelin, the protective layer insulating wire-like nerve fibers, disrupts signals to and from the brain. This interruption of communication signals causes unpredictable symptoms such as numbness, tingling, mood changes, memory problems, pain, fatigue, blindness and/or paralysis. Everyone’s experience with MS is different and these losses ma...
