Rethinking the approach to obesity

Connor HughesScience and Technology
Obesity is increasingly understood not as a matter of willpower or aesthetics, but as a multifaceted, long‑term medical condition shaped by biological, behavioral, social, and environmental influences. This broader understanding has prompted major shifts in prevention strategies, clinical practice, public policy, and scientific research. This article outlines the factors behind this change, reviews supporting evidence and examples, presents emerging tools and care models, and examines the challenges and consequences for patients, healthcare professionals, and communities.What obesity is and why it mattersObesity is commonly identified using body mass index thresholds (BMI ≥30 kg/m² for adults), though this metric offers only a…

Expectation’s influence on health: placebo and nocebo

Laura BenavidesScience and Technology
Expectations shape physiology. The terms placebo and nocebo capture the positive and negative consequences of those expectations. A placebo effect occurs when a beneficial health change follows an inert treatment or contextual therapeutic act; a nocebo effect is when negative outcomes or side effects follow due to negative expectations. Both are not “just in the head”: they produce measurable changes in symptoms, biological markers, brain activity, and behavior. Understanding these phenomena matters for clinical care, trial design, public health policies, and ethical communication.Essential Terms and Clear DistinctionsPlacebo: an improvement that stems from psychological influences and situational elements rather than the…

Factors influencing diverse energy transition speeds worldwide

Miles SpencerInternational
The shift from fossil fuels to low-carbon energy systems is neither uniform nor inevitable. Countries progress at different rates because the transition depends on a complex mix of economics, institutions, resources, technology, politics and history. Understanding these interacting factors explains why some nations race ahead with rapid renewables deployment while others move slowly despite clear climate and economic incentives.Core drivers that speed up or slow down transitionsEconomics and cost structures: Falling costs for wind and solar have made renewables competitive in many markets, but the full cost of deployment depends on local prices, taxes and, crucially, the cost of capital.…
