Here's why Friday the 13th scares us
Jane Risen, a behavioral scientist at the University
of Chicago Booth School of Business, has found that
superstitions can influence even nonbelievers. In one 2016
study, Risen found that people who identify as superstitious
and non-superstitious both believe a bad outcome is more
likely when they've been jinxed. For example, they worry
that stating they definitely won't get into a car accident will
make it more likely to happen.
“Generally speaking, I find that this occurs because
the bad outcome springs to mind and is imagined more
clearly following the jinx,” she explains. “People use the ease
of imagining something as a cue to its likelihood.”
_____________, Risen's research also suggests that
performing rituals that ward off bad luck can have surprising
results. In a 2014 study, she found that some people use
them even when they don't actively believe, and when
tested, both types of people reported benefits from such
acts.
It's difficult to pin down the origins and evolution of
a superstition. But Stuart Vyse, an author and former
_____________ of psychology at Connecticut College in New
London, told National Geographic in 2014 that our fear of
Friday the 13th may be rooted in religious beliefs
surrounding the 13th guest at the Last Supper—Judas, the
apostle said to have betrayed Jesus—and the
______________ of Jesus on a Friday, which was known as
hangman's day. The combination of those factors produced
a "sort of double whammy of 13 falling on an already
nervous day," Vyse explained.

Why art gallery visits may be one of the healthiest
habits you can build
This year’s top Health stories celebrate the kind of
progress that hits close to home: advances that help
us live longer, feel better, and take care of one
another. From mental health wins to medical
innovations, these 2025 highlights are all about
healing, hope, and human potential.
Most of us know the feeling of standing in front of a
painting that makes us pause. Maybe it’s a burst of
color that lifts our mood or a quiet scene that steadies
the mind. Either way, a new study from King’s College
London suggests that these moments are doing far
more than sparking emotion. Researchers have found
measurable evidence that viewing original art can
support both mental health and long-term physical wellbeing.
Their findings point to something powerful: spending
even a short amount of time with original artworks may
reduce stress, improve emotional balance, and
potentially contribute to a longer, healthier life. And the
best part is that you do not need to be an art expert to
benefit.
What the study actually measured
To explore the connection between art and health,
researchers invited fifty healthy adults between the
ages of eighteen and forty to take part in an experiment.
One group visited The Courtauld Gallery in London,
where they viewed original masterpieces by artists
including Vincent van Gogh and Édouard Manet. A
second group viewed high-quality reproductions in a
non-gallery setting.
Participants wore sensors that tracked heart rate, skin
temperature, and other subtle responses. They also
provided saliva samples before and after the
experience so researchers could measure changes in
stress and inflammation.
The results were striking:
Cortisol, better known as the body’s primary stress
hormone, fell by 22 percent among gallery visitors.
Those who saw reproductions saw only an eight
percent drop.
Pro-inflammatory cytokines decreased by 30 percent
in the gallery group and 28 percent in the reproduction
group.
Gallery visitors also showed signs of emotional
engagement, including small drops in skin temperature
and variation in heart-rate patterns.
These shifts matter because high cortisol and
inflammation are linked to chronic conditions such as
anxiety, heart disease, and diabetes. In other words,
your quiet moment with an original painting could be
supporting your long-term health in ways you cannot
feel immediately.
Why original art matters even more
Although both groups experienced some positive
changes, the impact was stronger for those who viewed
original artworks. Researchers believe that the
immersive environment of a gallery adds layers of
sensory experience with elements that highlight space,
scale, texture, and atmosphere. These aspects work
together to deepen the body’s response.
Importantly, the researchers emphasized that the
benefits appeared regardless of art knowledge or
emotional intelligence. You do not need to understand
an artist’s entire catalog or even consider yourself an
“art person” to gain something meaningful.
A simple, accessible step toward wellbeing
The implications of this study reach beyond museum
walls. These findings help pave the way for broader
integration of art and wellbeing, offering a low-cost and
accessible option for reducing loneliness, easing
depression, and improving life satisfaction.
And while art may not replace clinical care, it can be a
gentle, joyful tool to add to your wellness routine. The
next time you find yourself lingering in front of a
painting, know that your body is responding in ways
that support you; calming, stimulating, and restoring at
the same time.

Life just might exist on Mars after all
The red planet may have once been home to an
abundance of microbes. New studies suggest it's possible
that some hardy microbes managed to survive underground
in a frozen state.
About 3.5 billion years ago, two of the planets that
orbited the sun may have had biospheres of similar bulk.
One, Earth, evolved in a way that allowed life to flourish and
splinter into endless forms most beautiful. Mars, the other
world, followed a different path.
Today the Martian surface is hostile to life as we
know it, but as this scientific story goes, Mars may have once
hosted a rich abundance of microbes. Residing in the
planet’s briny underworld and shielded from the lethal
radiation that bathes the surface, these organisms could
have grown in nooks and ____________, multiplying until
their collective heft rivaled Earth’s cache of life. Called
methanogens, Mars’s microbes would have inhaled
atmospheric hydrogen and carbon dioxide and exhaled
methane gas - and in a twist, they may have turned out to be
their own worst enemy.
Over time, their growing, insatiable appetite would
have robbed the Martian atmosphere of hydrogen - a
powerful greenhouse gas during the planet’s early days -
ultimately casting a deadly freeze over the planet and
driving microbial populations into deeper, warmer crannies.
How long those burrowing microbes could have survived in
the deep is unknown. It’s possible they were only a shortlived flash of life on an otherwise sterile world.
“Maybe extinction is the cosmic default of life in the
universe,” says Boris Sauterey of the Institut de Biologie de
l’Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris. “It’s not the process of
life ____________ that is limiting; it’s life maintaining itself
that is limiting.”
But perhaps, more than 30 feet beneath the surface
and encased in ice, these ancient single-celled organisms
achieved a state of dormancy - a sort of cryopreserved
slumber, ready to perk up when more life-friendly conditions
arise.
The Martian interior may not be as lifeless as its
face. It could host a world of alien organisms that are
capable of waiting thousands of years between each turn of
their metabolic engines.
This ____________ may sound farfetched, but
recent results from scientists modeling the habitability of
ancient Mars and studying the hardiness of microbes in labs
and beneath our own planet’s surface all point in the same
direction: It’s a long shot, but it’s possible life evolved on
Mars and still exists. And scientists may just find signs of that
life when meteors barrel into Mars and excavate buried
layers of ice, or when new spacecraft arrive to plumb this
underground realm.

All the Beijing snow is human-made
Climate variability has forced the Winter Games to
be virtually 100% reliant on artificial snow -- part of a trend
that is taking place across winter sports venues around the
world.
Just one of the 21 cities that have hosted the
Winter Olympics in the past 50 years will have a climate
suitable for winter sports by the end of the century, a recent
study found, if fossil fuel emissions remain unchecked.
As the planet warms and the weather becomes
increasingly more erratic, natural snow is becoming less
reliable for winter sports, which forces venues to lean more
on artificial snow.
But it comes at a cost: human-made snow is
incredibly resource-intensive, requiring massive amounts of
energy and water to produce in a climate that's getting
warmer and warmer. Elite athletes also say that the sports
themselves become trickier and less safe when human-made
snow is involved.

Air Traffic Controllers
The USA's Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has launched a recruitment campaign aimed at gamers. The FAA
wants them to consider becoming air traffic controllers. There is a shortage of workers in the sector, so the government hopes
people skilled at gaming could fill the growing number of vacancies. The US currently needs at least 3,000 controllers. Nick
Daniels, president of the National Air Traffic Controllers Association, said: “Our union welcomes innovative approaches to
expanding the candidate pool, including outreach to individuals with high-level skills, such as gamers, so long as all pathways
maintain the rigorous standards required of this safety-critical profession.”
The recruitment drive has a video with an Xbox logo on it. The tag line is explicitly aimed at gamers. It says: “You've been
training for this… Become an air traffic controller. It's not a game. It's a career.” The promo adds: “You'll keep millions of people safe
every year. And make a lot of money.” The enticing salary is $155,000 a year. US Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy said the
country needs to tempt “a growing demographic of young adults who have many of the hard skills it takes to be a successful controller”.
Some current controllers have said gaming could be a useful skill. They said it had "an influence on their ability to think quickly, stay
focused, and manage complexity”.
