The human body is meant to move. When working from home, the environment may be different, but the body’s need for movement and variation is unchanged. Remember to plan your days to make room for movement. For example, you could begin and end each day with a brisk walk, which has the added benefit of exposing you to sunlight and framing your working day. Think about which work duties you could car

When the late summer sun falls over Ireland’s Wicklow Mountains, the slopes turn purple with blooming heather. Honeybees are moved to the heathlands for the sought-after heather honey, but their presence affects wild bumblebees. An Irish-Swedish research team has shown in a new study that wild bumblebees change their behaviour and are smaller in size when the number of beehives increases. The rese

När unga avhoppare berättar om sitt kriminella förflutna försöker de både förklara sina handlingar och skapa en ny identitet.

En person som begått brott men vill sluta behöver – både inför sig själv och andra – förstå och förklara vem man har varit, vem man
