    Why do we kiss?
    Jun 30 2025
    Kissing on the lips feels so natural… and yet, it’s far from universal. In some cultures, romantic kissing doesn’t even exist! So why, in our society, has kissing become such a strong symbol of love and passion? It turns out, kissing might be one of the oldest gestures in the human playbook. For decades, historians pointed to ancient Indian texts, the Vedas, written around 1500 BCE, as the earliest written references to kissing. So where does kissing come from? Does kissing have anything to do with smell or taste? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

    Jun 30 2025
    he last two and a half years have caused a lot of us to reassess our priorities in life. Are we really living our lives to the full? Are there new experiences that we should be trying out? Within that context, an alternative nomadic lifestyle called vanlife has seen a resurgence. It’s been around since the 1960s, when hippies would travel across the United States in vans. But social media has made it trendy again, and in particular Instagram where the #vanlife hashtag has over 13 million posts. Essentially, vanlife is pretty much exactly what it sounds like: living in a van. It’s a minimalist lifestyle, which also grants the freedom to travel and be adventurous. What are some of the coolest things about vanlife? How do I know if the van lifestyle is for me? ⁠In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions !⁠ To listen to the last episodes, you can click here : ⁠How does Paris syndrome affect some visitors to the French capital?⁠ ⁠Can I get health benefits from masturbation?⁠ ⁠How have dating apps broken into the friendship market?⁠ A podcast written and realised by Joseph Chance.

    Jun 30 2025
    Greying hair can be triggered for a number of reasons, genetics; some people’s hair turns grey earlier than others. Stress, a recent study in mice showed that stress can cause stem cells to leave the hair follicle and migrate to other parts of the body, leaving no cells to produce melanin. Some Illnesses like thyroid disease and of course ageing. But could the days of grey hair be over? Possibly. A new study conducted by scientists from New York University Grossman School of Medicine have discovered why hair turns grey and how to stop it happening. Well at least in mice.
