Why late-night light can throw your mood off track. Most of us can tolerate occasional late nights without lasting harm, but they can be deeply destabilising for people with mood disorders, writes Ronan Lordan @RCSI_Irl @Researchirel rte.ie/brainstorm/2026/0302/…

We are now at 1136 new measles cases - in just the first 8 weeks of this year alone.
A preventable disease resurging.
This is an abject policy failure.

Here's another example of overprotection in the real world: banning peanuts from schools caused kids antifragile immune systems to develop improperly, leading to peanut allergies, as @glukianoff and I wrote about. (Meanwhile no protections online)
20 Oct 2025
Peanut allergies are down 43% since we stopped avoiding peanuts in childhood

The more girls in a class, the merrier.
Data on 87k students: In cohorts with more girls, boys and girls have better mental health. More female peers predicts closer friendships for boys—and better body image & STEM grades for girls.
Girls build cultures of competence and care.

The evidence from longitudinal studies is increasingly clear: heavy use of social media predicts later depression. We reviewed that here:

We’ll never forget the lives we lost on September 11, 2001. Let’s continue to honor their memories, and the courage of our first responders who put themselves in harm’s way.

Forcing people back to the office backfires.
Data on >3M tech & finance workers: After return-to-office mandates, firms lose stars and struggle to attract new talent. The most likely to quit are senior, skilled, & female employees.
Flexibility is a feature of a great workplace.

I'm old enough to remember when polio put my friends into iron lungs.
We dutifully lined up at school to get vaccinated. We eradicated the disease. We protected the common good and saved lives.
What RFK Jr. is doing to public health in America is a disgrace.

Did you know that school secretaries and caretakers aren't entitled to access pensions? They are the heart of our schools and I value their work. So, I signed the pledge to support their campaign for pensions. Will you sign too? act.forsa.ie/pensionparitysc…
