In 2022, it’s no secret that young people are beginning to retreat away from social media, yearning for real, meaningful connections that are more valuable than living entirely through a screen.

Here to meet this need and fuel our burgeoning desire for a more intimate internet is @irl (‘In Real Life’), an app that’s quickly becoming the fastest way to build communities both online and offline.

At its core, IRL is seeking to help people find their people, to allow for the full spectrum of human behaviour beyond the limits of what social media is now renowned for: garnering an audience.

Aiding users with their migration from virtual to in-person interactions and actively empowering them to get out there – literally, in real life – IRL hits pause on the fleetingness we can no longer seem to escape from online. At a time when relentless over-saturation has become the norm, it’s presenting a clear-cut path to forging long-lasting connections and putting the ‘social’ back in social media.

Researchers at Stanford University are reversing symptoms of Alzheimer’s in mice using a strange tactic – they’re infusing elderly mice with spinal fluid from younger ones.

How have scientists done this?

Researchers have tested mice’s ability to remember signals of a painful experience, such as a light or sound cue followed by an electric shock.

What they noticed was that in just a matter of days, elderly mice would forget this correlation, while younger mice remembered it for weeks and months at a time.

One doctor called Tal Iram began collecting spinal fluid from young mince over the course of several months. After gathering enough and injecting it into older mice, she found that the older mice began remembering experiences just as well as their younger peers.

This rejuvenated memory capacity was thanks to the CSF fluid boosting specialised cells in the hippocampus (the area of the brain known to store memories). Wild.

Could this method be used to treat adults?

Theoretically, a drug could be developed to mimic the growth factor in CSF that scientists have labelled ‘FGF17’ – the one that help the hippocampus cells recover – to administer to people suffering with Alzheimer’s and dementia.

A sweeping reform bill is updating the country’s policies on reproductive health. If passed, it would grant women struggling with their periods paid time off every single month.

Entirely separate from allocated holidays or sick days, this means that anyone struggling with especially excruciating and incapacitating period pain will be entitled to three days off work a month – extended to five in some circumstances with a doctor’s note.

The draft legislation, which also seeks to allow women over the age of 16 to have abortions without permission from their parents or guardians and includes a clause abolishing the tampon-tax, is due to be approved by the cabinet next week.

A European first for this reason, many hope that Spain’s anticipated game-changing policy will set a new standard across the globe.

One that encourages other Western lawmakers to follow suit with similar provisions recognising it’s no longer normal to go to work in pain and putting an end to the stigma, shame, and silence surrounding menstruation.
