Using more than one type of app, including both mainstream sites such as Tinder or Hinge and gay sites like Grindr, could lead to lower levels of anxiety among gay men who use mobile dating platforms.

Handbasins help prevent infections in hospitals but new research from Flinders University warns that contaminated basins in healthcare might put patients at risk and have implications in outbreaks of superbugs.
