Total eclipse sends astro-tourists swarming to Spain
Buse Avci stood in line at a paella counter in Valencia on Wednesday on a visit to the coastal Spanish city from her home in Budapest. She had always wanted to see Spain's Barcelona or Grenada.

Britain is a political mess. At least there's ‘Hot Podium Guy.'
LONDON—Britain's new prime minister arrived in Downing Street last week promising stability for a weary nation bewildered after churning through six leaders in seven years. Andy Burnham's first move, however, threatened what many have come to see as the only reliable thing in British politics: “Hot Podium Guy.” Through years of extraordinary political upheaval, the sound engineer at No. 10 Downing Street has served as a chiseled omen of great change.

370 billion crickets are farmed for food every year; scientists have found they may feel pain
You’re cooking dinner, distracted, and your hand brushes a hot pan. Nerve signals race to your spinal cord and back to yank your arm away in a fraction of a second, with no thought required. Then comes the pain. A sharp, spreading sting gives way to a pulsing ache, and you cradle your hand and run it under cold water until it subsides. That felt experience is distinct from the reflex that preceded it.

Workplace sexual harassment: Is it about desire or power?
New research compares evolutionary psychology and gender hierarchy theories to explain workplace sexual harassment. It finds that harassment is less about sexual desire and more about power, status, and workplace culture, offering clearer pathways for prevention through structural and organisational changes rather than focusing solely on individual behaviour Is workplace sexual harassment driven by desire or power? New research says hierarchy — not biology — holds the key.
Why do men sexually harass women at work? Science offers two explanations – but only one of them holds up Original
What causes workplace sexual harassment? How can we continue to better understand it? And what can be done to prevent it? Successful answers to questions like these need a good scientific explanation. But which explanation should we draw on? Two very different explanations circulate among social scientists. In new research, we compared how the two stack up – and found one of them was a clear winner. Evolved sexual tendencies or maintaining gender hierarchies?
Flexible Self-Protection as Evidence of Pain-Like States in House Crickets
Abstract The possibility that insects experience pain is a frontier question at the intersection of animal behaviour, comparative cognition, and philosophy of mind. Interest has been fuelled not only by anatomical discoveries but also by expanding behavioural and comparative evidence. Under leading frameworks, the most informative behavioural indicators of pain-like experience include flexible, targeted responses to harm that suggest more than stereotyped, reflexive withdrawal.
Opinion | Minnesota can’t let Big Pharma hike prices unchecked
Opinion editor’s note: Strib Voices publishes a mix of guest commentaries online and in print each day. To contribute, click here. ••• Everyone deserves access to affordable medicine — no exceptions. And yet in the U.S. and right here in Minnesota, Big Pharma is legally allowed to price-gouge patients for profit. No other developed country allows it. We all know someone who is skipping doses, going without or living in debt just to get the medicine they need to stay alive.
Concerns about ICE heard, but local options are limited
I’ve recently been asked why I did not join Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield’s Nov. 24 letter to the U.S. attorney general and secretary of homeland security, which references the arrest of a 17-year-old McMinnville resident by federal agents. I understand why people are concerned. Any time community members feel afraid or uncertain about their rights, they deserve clarity from those of us entrusted with public safety.

“My Autistic Child Sincerely Wanted Friends – and Finally Found Them”
Watching my preschool son at the playground was stressful. It’s where we picked up early clues that he was different. He didn’t understand the other kids’ way of playing. While he was motivated to connect with them, he didn’t know how. Kids could tell he was different, but they weren’t sure in what way. He was just quirky enough to become an object of curiosity rather than a friend. Other signs of his social challenges became apparent over time. He struggled to understand others’ perspectives.

A medal if you can guess Sharlene Mawdsley’s birthday wish
It was a Bon Anniversaire for Sharlene Mawdsley in Paris yesterday, as the sprint star celebrated turning 26 – although a medal just eluded her after the women’s 4×400 relay team finished an agonising fourth in last night’s final.

"Our Neighborhood Pizzeria: A Haven of Joy and Autism Acceptance" Original
Like many families with autistic kids, we used to avoid going to restaurants. An unfamiliar environment we couldn’t control was the perfect recipe for chaos. Eating out meant a menu that might not include our child’s safe foods. Coping behaviors might emerge, drawing unwelcome attention: stares, judgment, disapproval, comments, or unsolicited advice that makes us feel unwelcome. But just like other families, we crave a “third place” where we can relax.
“A Love Letter to My Son’s Special Interests”
It was the first time the card table was used for its stated purpose. In our excitement playing cards, we got too noisy and woke up the toddler. There was laughter and arguing. There was winning and losing. I’d like to say my son, Ocean, was a gracious winner. I’d also like to say that I’m never a sore loser. Regardless, I was elated that we were playing – win or lose. I never thought my kid would land on card games as a special interest.

Why Your Ambivalence About Your Autism Diagnosis Exposes Your Ignorance
I read the recent NY Times Op-Ed by Emma Camp, “Why I Am More and More Ambivalent About My Autism Diagnosis” with increasing fury. Ms. Camp’s political bent is perplexing, but the point that is most essential to me, because it could perpetuate ignorance and cause damage, is her bizarre assumption that neurological diagnoses are no longer stigmatized. I’d love to hear your thoughts after you read her opinion piece.

How Will YOU Catch a Break While Your Atypical Kids Are on Spring Break?
My kid is already looking a little bit like a vampire frog after just 2 days of spring break. Yeah, he’s been on his iPad way more than I think is healthy, and that’s bringing up all the guilt, and also the dread… because I know this much ROBLOX disregulates him. This much dopamine-rich screen time would disregulate ANYONE. Yesterday I was working, so I couldn’t really help it. I cut myself slack, especially since there was another parent at home who COULD have taken him out for a walk.

How to Reclaim Time For Self-Care
But instead of taking care of yourself mentally, emotionally, and physically... You’re bogged down with everyone else’s needs. Your body hurts and your energy is depleted. You know you’re headed for burnout, but you can’t seem to motivate yourself. The people we care about will always have needs. There will always be something urgent pulling on our attention. And we still have to take care of ourselves. If not for us, for them.
