Description

Mood tracking has become a popular way of understanding the sources of our feelings and regulating our emotions. There's a lot of evidence that this practice can benefit our wellbeing. But when we track using apps with AI capabilities, like Apple’s latest iOS update which promises mental health insights based on how we report our feelings, can we believe them?

Kink is undeniably human, but where does it stem from? Sex educator Esmé Louise James' new book Kinky History examines the origins of kink, its expression in surprisingly highbrow circles, and how what we consider alternative (read 'shameful') is constantly evolving. 

If someone nearby had a cardiac arrest, what would you do? A recent survey in Canada found many people felt unprepared to help using CPR, particularly if the person experiencing the cardiac arrest was a woman. We look at the situation in Australia and what needs to change.
