According to researchers at Harvard Medical School, fatigue can be classified into three types: Physical fatigue: a lack of strength and endurance, mental fatigue: increased reaction time and reduced concentration and Emotional fatigue: a form of mental fogginess.

  • How are social media influencers making money through rage baiting?

    How are social media influencers making money through rage baiting?
    Mar 29 2026
    Since 2020, TikTok has allowed its creators to make money by posting on the platform. To do so, they need at least 10,000 followers and to rack up 100,000 views on their videos over a 30-day period. But with earnings of around 30 cents per 1,000 views, it’s not exactly a get-rich-quick scheme. So to increase the visibility of their videos — and thereby earn more money — some creators have turned to a controversial tactic known as "rage baiting." What is rage baiting? How does that work? Why do people watch content they don’t even like? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

    Mar 29 2026
    The French famously love their delicious baguette and a staggering 320 of them produced every second in France!

Bread, particularly white bread made from refined grains, is often considered unhealthy due to its high glycemic index, which can lead to rapid spikes in blood sugar levels. This can be a concern for weight management and those with diabetes. Why is bread considered unhealthy? Which bread should you choose from a nutritional point of view?

  • Who are the main victims of natural disasters?

    Who are the main victims of natural disasters?
    Mar 28 2026
    Natural disasters lead to damaged property, loss of life, psychological trauma, displaced individuals and families, among other consequences. According to the World Meteorological Organisation, the number of natural disasters has increased five times since 1970. Researchers from all over the whole world have dedicated their careers to studying natural disasters. And they all agree on one thing. The poorer people are, the more likely they are to suffer the consequences. There’s a bitter irony to the fact that countries that have contributed the least to climate change are being hit the hardest by climate-related events. Are there any figures to back that up? Are there differences within a single country? What about other forms of inequality? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

    Why do certain sounds give us goose bumps?
    Mar 28 2026
    Picture this: you’re lost in thought, your favourite song playing, and suddenly, you feel a wave of well-being that gives you goosebumps. Music doesn’t just touch our hearts; it has a tangible impact on our bodies. Certain musical passages can send shivers down our spines by releasing dopamine, the so-called pleasure molecule. In 2020, a french study found that listening to music causes variations in low-frequency electrical signals in our brains. How do we know this? What exactly causes these shivers? What about those goosebumps we get from unpleasant sounds? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

They stem from a Franco-Israeli study published in July 2024, a collaboration between HEC Paris and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Participants were shown a photograph of a person and asked to choose their first name from four options. How can a first name influence our appearance? What is the Dorian Gray effect?

    What do our phobias tell us about ourselves?
    Mar 27 2026
    The John Hopkins University defines a phobia as “an uncontrollable, irrational, and lasting fear of a certain object, situation, or activity.” With that in mind, if you’re unfortunate enough to be confronted with your phobia on a regular basis, then it can really have a destabilising effect on your life. What do psychologists have to say on the matter then? Why do we get some phobias and not other? What about the symbolic side then? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
