Are a few people ruining the internet for the rest of us?
Why does the online world seem so toxic compared with normal life? Our research shows that a small number of divisive accounts could be responsible β and offers a way out
Only a small % of people engage in toxic activity online, but theyβre responsible for a disproportionate share of hostile or misleading content on nearly every platform
Because super-users are so active, they dominate our collective impression of the internet www.theguardian.com/books/2025/j...

How Can Regional Models Advance Climate Science? | Quanta Magazine
Elfatih Eltahir explains why we need more local and social data, like disease spread and population growth, to better predict and address climate-related challenges.
This week on βThe Joy of Why,β I sat down with Elfatih Eltahir, a hydrologist, climatologist, and meteorologist at MIT. His goals for regional climate modelling are twofold: Inform mitigation and inform adaptation. Tune in to βThe Joy of Whyβ: www.quantamagazine.org/how-can-regi...
