  1. After childbirth, many moms wonder if their immune system becomes weaker—but science shows it’s more about hormonal shifts, recovery, sleep loss, and stress than true immune decline. Your body is recalibrating, not breaking, as it heals and adapts.

  12. Antibiotics once saved millions. Today, misuse is making them fail.

    PM Modi’s warning on antimicrobial resistance is a wake-up call for India — from self-medication to unfinished courses, our everyday habits are fueling a silent health crisis.

    Swipe to learn why antibiotics must be used wisely.

  13. 🔭 Marvin Watches a Cube Break Common Sense

    If a cube flew past at nearly the speed of light, it wouldn’t look squashed.
    It would look… rotated.

    Marvin pauses mid-sip of tea.
    “That,” he notes, “is not what intuition promised.”

    Terrell & Penrose showed (1959) that relativistic motion produces an optical twist, not a squash. Light from different parts of an object reaches the observer at different times, and the brain stitches time into shape.

    A new lab experiment made this visible by slowing light with ultrafast lasers. Cubes and spheres appear rotated — exactly as predicted.

    Marvin understands the problem immediately;
    “You never see the thing,” he says. “You see the story light tells you.”

    Nothing changes physically.

    The boundary does.

    🧠 In relativity, seeing is a space-time calculation.
