Rethinking ADHD as ‘hypercuriosity’ What if ADHD isn’t a deficit of attention, but an intensified curiosity? A new study explores how reframing ADHD could transform education

Yes! What if we treated extremely normal human variation as something other than a "disorder"???

Picture of a green cargo ship with the headline "China starts sea trials for largest electric powered containership"

You can't prove received wisdom wrong if you don't try... and you've got to give China credit for not being afraid to try. A step on the way to serious reduction of shipping emissions by 2050? Or an expensive experiment with niche coastal uses? Time will tell!

The year is 2034. 98% of the population of the planet is employed as a life coach. All the life coaches have life coaches. Life coaches decide to redouble their efforts, going in hard to all the last remaining outposts where people exist simply as people rather than life coaches or people striving to live their best life via life coaches. “Can I be your companion on your journey to yourself and give you the life advice that will make you a proper person?” ask the life coaches. “Can you get out of my kitchen, please?” say the people. “I’ve already had six of you in here this morning, trying to tell me how I can be the ultimate version of me and unlock my true potential. I never asked for this. I just want to be able to live my most average, flawed life in peace and finish cleaning the oven.”

A collection of six ominous bird valentines set against a background of pink hearts. In the first one, a Canada Goose looks angry and hisses and the text says "Baby, I'll make you fall head over heels if you approach within 10m of my nest." In the second, an American white pelican opens its mouth to eat the reader and the text says "There are plenty of fish in the sea, but I want this one." In the third valentine, a Black Vulture looks suspiciously at the reader and the text says "I will love you until you die. And after that, I'll love you even more." A Southern Cassowary stands proudly against the heart-covered background. The text says "My wattles are red. My head is blue. My deadly reputation has been somewhat overblown, but I'd kill for you." In the fifth valentine, a Northern Giant-Petrel stands open-billed next to a large brown furry object, and the text says "Let's seal the deal by sharing a 3000 kg elephant seal carcass." In panel 6, a happy-looking Bearded Vulture holds a bone in its beak, and the text says "I love every part of you, especially your bones."

A farmer-led initiative has been launched to restore the landscape of the Evenlode valley, which runs through West Oxfordshire from Kingham to Charlbury and Eynsham. Participating farms are committing up to 15% of their less productive land to the project, to restore and improve riverside habitats.
