A satisfying intimate relationship may help diminish chemotherapy-related cognitive problems experienced by patients with breast cancer, a new study suggests. General social support was also protective, but the association was less robust and lasting than a satisfying intimate partnership, which was characterized by fewer declines in both objective measures of cognitive setbacks and patient self-reports of subtle changes such as forgetting grocery list items and being unable to multitask.

One hundred days into the new federal administration, a new poll reports that major segments of the U.S. public anticipate they will lose trust in public health recommendations with the changes in health agency leadership. The poll, conducted among a national sample of U.S. adults, found that 44% of the public says having the new leaders in charge of federal public health agencies will make them trust health recommendations coming from these organizations less than they used to (including 14% who say “a little less” and 30% who say “a lot less”). A significantly smaller share (28%) say changes will make them trust recommendations more (including 18% who say “a little more” and just 10% who say “a lot more”).

29 April 2025/Kiel. Increasing the natural uptake of carbon dioxide (CO₂) by the ocean or storing captured CO₂ under the seabed are currently being discussed in Germany as potential ways to offset unavoidable residual emissions and achieve the country’s goal of greenhouse gas neutrality by 2045. However, which carbon dioxide removal (CDR) and storage methods could actually be used depends heavily on local conditions. In Germany’s North Sea and Baltic Sea waters, the options are limited to just a few approaches. This is the conclusion of a first feasibility assessment carried out by researchers involved in the CDRmare research mission. The study was recently published in the journal Earth’s Future.

The Netflix hit ‘Adolescence’ has sparked widespread conversations about teaching school-age children about sexism. However, new research led by the University of Surrey has revealed why teachers often shy away from discussing this sensitive topic. 

Manufacturers who fail to adapt to emerging digital technologies are not just at risk of losing their competitive edge – they are setting themselves up for inevitable failure, according to researchers from the University of Surrey.
