Summary: Podcasts are increasingly popular, with people spending over five hours weekly listening to them. A new study reveals health-related podcasts can significantly improve health knowledge, boost physical activity, and encourage healthier eating habits. Researchers reviewed 38 studies and found that podcasts’ conversational tone and accessibility drive high engagement.Listeners appreciate

Summary: AI models trained on MRI data can now distinguish brain tumors from healthy tissue with high accuracy, nearing human performance. Using convolutional neural networks and transfer learning from tasks like camouflage detection, researchers improved the models’ ability to recognize tumors.This study emphasizes explainability, enabling AI to highlight the areas

Summary: Researchers are exploring how earpiece microphones, or “hearables,” could detect early signs of Alzheimer’s disease by monitoring subtle eye movement changes. Alzheimer’s impacts motor and cognitive functions, with slowed or delayed eye movements (saccades) being an early indicator.Conventional eye trackers are costly and inaccessible, but hearables can capture related

Summary: A new study reveals that multiplayer online gaming can enhance workplace skills such as teamwork, problem-solving, and leadership. Researchers found that gamers with years of experience apply their in-game behaviors to professional settings, developing patience, self-confidence, and coaching abilities.These findings challenge misconceptions about gaming as a waste of time,

Summary: Researchers trained computer models to predict everyday events, revealing that responding to uncertainty, rather than just prediction errors, improved understanding. This challenges the idea that surprises alone drive event comprehension and suggests the brain may use dual mechanisms. Meanwhile, studies on memory show identifying event boundaries predicts better recall,

Summary: Research shows that scientists who exhibit intellectual humility—admitting their knowledge may be incomplete—earn greater public trust. Across five studies, participants rated intellectually humble scientists as more trustworthy and were more likely to believe their findings on polarizing topics like climate change and vaccinations. Intellectual humility enhances perceptions of expertise,
