Plastic is everywhere. Itâs in our clothes, our food, the air we breathe. And plastic is now also in our bodies. Micro and nanoplastics generally enter our bodies in one of three ways: the air, our skin, and what we eat and drink. But how exactly do these microscopic particles affect our health? Dig into how they can interrupt your bodyâs processes, and how we can begin to fix our plastic problem.

Weâre so grateful we were able to work with the brilliant Andrea Gibson, and we are deeply saddened to hear of their passing. Andreaâs poem âThe Nutritionistâ explores the pain and isolation of depressionâ and serves as a reminder that we are not alone in our struggles. Swipe to watch the full animation.
When reading âAliceâs Adventures in Wonderland,â most readers visualize the queenâs croquet game play out in their heads. A few might see the scene in vivid detail. However, a small fraction of readers have a drastically different experience: within their heads, they âseeâ absolutely nothing. Why do some people have an inability to visualize images? Adam Zeman explores the science of aphantasia.

Two tiny handprints stamped into a cake. A mirror that shatters without warning. A trail of cracker crumbs strewn along the floor. Everyone at 124 Bluestone Road knows their home is hauntedâ but thereâs no mystery about the spirit tormenting them. So begins âBeloved,â Toni Morrisonâs Pulitzer Prize-winning drama. Yen Pham digs into the novelâs exploration of the dehumanizing effects of slavery.

Your government has introduced a plan to address record-breaking rates of traffic tickets and deadly hovercar accidents. They propose assigning âdriver credit scoresâ to every citizen, but would need to install cameras and microphones in every vehicle. While it would make the roads safer, is this undeniable benefit worth the cost to driversâ privacy? Michael Vazquez and Sarah Stroud investigate.

In his introduction to âThe Wonderful Wizard of Oz,â L. Frank Baum claims that the book is simply an innocent childrenâs story. But some scholars have found hidden criticisms of late-nineteenth-century economic policies in the book. Is it possible that one of Americaâs favorite childrenâs stories is also a subversive parable? David B. Parker investigates the text for clues.

Youâve been accused of a crime you did not commit. Itâs impossible to prove your innocence. If you insist that youâre innocent anyway, youâll likely be found guilty and executed. But if you confess, apologize, and implicate others, youâll go free. This was the choice facing those accused of witchcraft in Salem, Massachusetts in the 17th century. How did this happen? Brian A. Pavlac investigates.

In 1945, engineer Percy Spencer was standing near a RADAR device that produced high-intensity microwaves and noticed that his candy bar had melted. He then exposed popcorn kernels to the magnetron device, and sure enough, they popped. Soon after, the first microwave oven became available, using the very same technology. So, how does it work? Aaron Slepkov explores the science of microwave ovens.

One day around 850 CE, a goatherd observed that his goats started acting abnormally after nibbling on some berries. The herder tried them himself, and soon enough, he was just as hyper. As the story goes, this was humanityâs first run-in with coffee. So, how did coffee go from humble plant to one of the worldâs most consumed beverages? Jonathan Morris traces the history of this energizing elixir.
