For many Americans, summer is synonymous with All-Terrain Vehicles (ATVs). These rigs are popular with adults and kids alike—and injuries suffered in crashes of ATVs and other off-highway vehicles claim about 700 lives each year in the United States. About 100,000 people are treated in the nation’s emergency rooms for injuries resulting from off-highway vehicle (OHV) use. That’s why the […]

Welcome to Stylist’s Sleep Diaries, where we’re taking a deep-dive into one of the most important (and elusive) factors in our day-to-day lives: sleep.

Nipples and areolas come in all shapes and sizes. Whether you have large nipples, small nipples, soft nipples or ones that are inverted, most are well within normal range.

We’re not sure where bad pickup lines started, but somehow they’ve become almost an art form. (Or at least the bad ones.) Whether you’re trolling dating apps or sending something cheese-tastic and groan-inducing to your SO (they’re stuck with you! They have to love you anyway!), finding a few lines that strike the balance between “woof” and “LOL” is a […]

A recent study out of the Complexity Science Hub (CSH) Vienna paves the way to a deeper insight into the complexity of the human brain, one of the largest and most sophisticated organs in the human body. The study – which develops a mathematical and computational framework for analysing neural activity in C. elegans, a tiny worm that has been […]
