Ad for a car subscription company. Poster shows a family in front of a car. Women in superhero outfit. Text says in German: Finn is like mom, takes care of everything. In smaller font below: ‘So mom can take a break: the car in a full service package’
Ads like these are the reason that the mental load is still predominantly on women. Stop labeling mothers as the ones that ‘take care of everything’. Can we move on from this mom as superhero fetish that ‘does it all’? (Text in English: Finn is like mom. Takes care of everything)

I manage a local suicide database. I knew that older men are at higher risk to die by suicide, but seeing data coming in case-wise makes a difference. Where's the outcry? Hardly any! Are older men (unconsciously) perceived as being expendable?

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die.
Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

A row has been brewing about European Commission plans to roll the successor programme to Horizon Europe into a European competitiveness fund.
But the sector, European Parliament and ministers want a standalone programme. Will the Commission back down?

A quote from Madeleine Thomson, Head of Impacts and Adaptation at Wellcome. The quote reads "We need urgent climate action to protect people and our planet. To do that, we must make the health impacts of climate change visible." A photo of Madeleine shows her smiling at the camera, looking kind and determined. She has short grey hair, glasses and a red blazer over a black shirt.
The impacts of climate change on our physical and mental health aren’t always visible.
