Beyoncé is a clone, the Earth is flat, and we’re all becoming conspiracy theorists
From celebrity-clone theories to supposed government cover-ups, conspiracy theories have become internet entertainment. But when did scrolling through bizarre claims become an invitation to investigate them, and why are we so tempted to believe there might be more to the story? You open TikTok for a five-minute scroll.

Welcome to the Dark Web
The dark web has a reputation for being somewhere you probably shouldn’t go. It’s a place most of us associate with anonymous drug markets, stolen data, hackers and criminals operating beyond the reach of the law. But behind the ominous name is something less dramatic, and perhaps more interesting: a part of the internet built around anonymity. And once you get there, things can look surprisingly familiar.
Ketamine Isn’t Just a Party Drug Anymore
When I was growing up, ketamine was never really spoken about and, from what I remember, it was never something I heard about being taken on the street. The conversation was usually about other drugs, the dirtier ones with names like ‘bath salts’ or prison’s notorious ‘spice’. But somewhere between becoming a teenager and starting my first day at university, ketamine suddenly became the main character. Parties and the afters, festivals, after-work pub drinks; somehow it was always there.
Paired mutation calling and spatial transcriptomics identify cellular neighborhoods associated with the neoplastic outcome of mouse colitis
Abstract In the progression from inflammatory bowel disease to associated cancer, the clonal mutational landscape shifts from selection of mutations in inflammatory genes to selection for cancer-driver mutations. How prevalence and expansion of either type of mutant clones could be impacted by the cellular environments in which they arise and how this affects the neoplastic outcome of colitis remains unknown.
Why We Keep Centering Men’s Motives Instead of Women’s Experiences
Why are audiences so quick to analyze men’s motives, even when women are the ones living with the consequences? In many ways, centering men in cinema at the downfall of female actors is a recurring trend. The horror film Obsession has reignited that debate, as online conversations focus heavily on Bear’s psychology while Nikki’s experience often remains in the background.

Creativity is the engine of innovation – and universities keep it running
Britain’s skills debate is shifting. The apprenticeship system is being refocused, with greater emphasis on opportunities for young people and stronger prioritisation of technical skills such as AI, digital technology and engineering. That shift reflects a legitimate concern: ensuring the next generation has the capabilities needed for a rapidly changing economy. But as policymakers refine the country’s skills strategy, there is a risk that one essential ingredient of innovation is overlooked.
Moving Together: How Research Can Transform Physical Activity and Leadership
By Dr. Kate Marks, Post Doctoral Research Associate at Durham University Physical activity is about more than fitness. It shapes, and is shaped by: identity, health and society. Yet for many people, particularly those who experience marginalisation, accessing meaningful and sustainable physical activities, is constrained by structural inequalities.
Behind-the-scenes insights from undertaking intersectional research in the field of sport and physical activity
ABSTRACT Undertaking intersectional research in sport and physical activity is necessarily complex. This paper offers a collaborative self-study (Ovens & Fletcher, Citation2014) of the authors' collective fieldwork experiences of conducting intersectional research at the post-graduate/early career research (ECR) stage in sport and physical activity.
Should the People Analytics Function Report into HR or Enterprise Analytics? | myHRfuture
Leading People Analytics teams are focussing more and more on delivering business value. In a recent study by Insight222 97% of people analytics leaders report to the CHRO themselves or into the HR function, and only 3% report into Enterprise Analytics. Some might argue that reporting into Enterprise Analytics would allow them more ability to deliver business value. But it’s not that simple.
A very rare case of synchronous primary lung cancer lymph node metastasis
A 76 year old patient presented with two synchronous primary lung tumours. One was identified as an adenocarcinoma and the second as an atypical carcinoid tumour. When reviewing the lymph node slides it was seen that one lymph node contained metastatic deposits from both primary tumours. Synchronous lung tumours are fairly rare occurrences, but even rarer is the finding of synchronous metastases to the same lymph node.
Post-radiotherapy cutaneous mastocytosis
We present the case of a 50-year-old female patient with a history of breast cancer, previously treated with radiotherapy, who presented with a localised petechial rash in the left chest wall skin. Histological examination revealed an infiltrate of c-KIT positive mast cells and a diagnosis of cutaneous mastocytosis was made.
Epithelioid haemangioendothelioma of bone
Epithelioid haemangioendothelioma (EHE) of bone often presents as a multifocal tumour with an affinity for cortical bone. Therefore, pathological fractures are common at presentation. They can be confused initially for metastatic carcinoma, given their potential to express cytokeratins. However, the diagnosis can now be clarified with to the discovery of a unique translocation that is found in the majority of EHE tumours.
