Financial case for college remains strong, but universities need to add creative thinking to their curriculum

A college degree was once seen as the golden ticket to landing a well-paying job. But many people are increasingly questioning the value of a four-year degree amid the rising cost of college.

Almost two-thirds of registered voters said in an October 2025 NBC News poll that a four-year college degree isn’t worth the cost – marking an increase from 40% of registered voters who said that college wasn’t worth the cost in June 2013.

Scientists find treatment for rare ‘auto-brewery syndrome’ that turns digested carbs into alcohol

Eating a meal heavy in carbohydrates can easily make a person feel a bit off. Usually, it’s just feeling sleepy or full, maybe even some indigestion after eating multiple slices of pizza or a large sub sandwich. However, for some people, eating carbs can not only make them feel drunk, but actually make them drunk. Fortunately, scientists may have found a solution for them.

While rare, there are many people who are affected by “auto-brewery syndrome,” otherwise known as “gut fermentation syndrome.” Auto-brewery syndrome is when the gut bacteria within a person’s stomach ferments carbohydrates into ethanol during digestion, causing intoxication without any alcohol consumption. In other words, a person can become drunk after eating carbs like a plate of spaghetti or a breakfast bagel.

Tiny, stingless bees in the Amazon just became the first insects in the world granted legal rights

For centuries, indigenous communities in Peru have relied on stingless bees. These crucial pollinators are responsible for the heavy lifting in maintaining a diverse ecosystem, preserving crops, forests, and even local culture.

Tiny, stingless bees buzzing around the Peruvian Amazon just became the first insects in the world granted legal rights. In landmark legislation, these high-altitude bees have fundamental rights to flourish under penalty of law.

Martin Luther King Jr. became involved not just in fights over racial equality but also economic hardship.

Martin Luther King Jr. was ahead of his time in pushing for universal basic income

Each year on the holiday that bears his name, Martin Luther King Jr. is remembered for his immense contributions to the struggle for racial equality. What is less often remembered but equally important is that King saw the fight for racial equality as deeply intertwined with economic justice.

To address inequality – and out of growing concern for how automation might displace workers – King became an early advocate for universal basic income. Under universal basic income, the government provides direct cash payments to all citizens to help them afford life’s expenses.

She asked her Gen Z sister what makes Millennials 'cringe.' The answer was brutal.

There is a specific kind of pain reserved for the moment you realize you are no longer the "cool" demographic. For 32-year-old Lea, that moment didn't come from a gray hair or a sore back—it came from the comment section.

Lea, who posts on TikTok as @laughinglea, told Newsweek she was baffled when commenters started labeling her content "cringey" and "Millennial core."

CPR on TV is often inaccurate – but watching characters jump to the rescue can still save real lives

Television characters who experience cardiac arrest outside a hospital are more likely to receive CPR than people in real life. But the CPR on these shows often depicts outdated practices and inaccuracies about who is most likely to experience cardiac arrest and where, according to newly published research from my team at the University of Pittsburgh.

How CPR is portrayed in the media is important to understand because research has shown that health content on screen can influence viewers. When Buffalo Bills player Damar Hamlin suffered cardiac arrest during a game in January 2023, the world watched as medical professionals swiftly performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Hamlin went on to make a full recovery, and in the aftermath, a team of emergency medicine professionals and I at the University of Pittsburgh – where Hamlin is an alumnus – worked to teach all Division I athletes hands-only CPR.

Scott Galloway shares the most important simple skill to avoiding future regret

As we age, it's often in reflecting that we get to see where we might have been able to make better choices. Some find it easy to move on, while others can get lost in ruminating on defeatist thoughts. Learning how to handle regret is an excellent skill. Having an opportunity to limit the things that bring up those feelings of regret might actually be even more important.

Scott Galloway, a NYU professor, entrepreneur, and media personality, shared on a recent podcast about aging and navigating regret. He offers candid reflection on his own experience with aging and the #1 most common regret people have.

Men explained why they no longer ask women for their numbers in public. The answers are eye-opening.

In our modern world, one might think making connections and finding relationships is easier. Perhaps for some it actually is. However, with more people moving toward online dating, fewer are meeting and starting relationships in person.

On the Reddit thread r/AskMenAdvice, someone asked, "Are men generally not asking women for their numbers anymore when they meet someone in the wild? If so, why?" Some of the answers shed light on a troubling situation. Men aren't comfortable asking women for their numbers in public, and so they don't do it.
