Banks is taking Netflix to court over its docuseries Reality Check: Inside America’s Next Top Model. But US defamation law sets a high bar for proof.
Overseas experience suggests predictive tools can improve child protection, if used carefully. Should NZ reconsider its stance?
COVID models helped counter the virus but revealed less about the impacts of emergency measures. More sophisticated modelling can help balance those trade-offs.
The new ANTM show isn’t about addressing issues faced by former contestants; it’s a chance for producers to distance themselves from the besmirched Tyra Banks.
Research on Tasmania’s large old trees has given designers good reason to reflect on the many things about trees that humans don’t value enough. Here’s the top five.
More than 1,300 people died on Australia’s roads in the last year. New modelling identifies the people and regions most at risk of future tragedies unless there’s a more targeted approach to road safety.
In the 1990s, Alannah Hill, Collette Dinnigan and Akira Isogawa brought flair and an Australian sensibility to the global fashion market.
New research shows how marine debris from continents across the southern hemisphere threatens Antarctica’s remote coastline and unique marine ecosystems. Foreign organisms might be hitching a ride.
Organoids of mammary glands can help researchers more efficiently study lactation, with findings that could apply to fields ranging from agriculture to medicine.
The show goes some way to correcting the historical oversight of the significant impact of models on fashion culture.
It’s still possible for Australia to cut emissions in line with holding climate change to 1.5°C. Here’s how.
Australia is in the middle of its fifth Omicron wave, which has been brewing since February. But it’s been slow and drawn out and the health impacts are very different to earlier waves.
When it comes to physics experiments, quantum simulations aren’t quite the real thing – but in some cases they’re much closer than you’d expect.
The evidence so far suggests this wave could be a shorter and smaller version of the Omicron BA.5 wave.
Artificial stone, which is used mainly for kitchen benchtops, is a potent source of silica dust, which can scar the lung and cause lung cancer. Banning artificial stone could save lives.
We can promote inclusion and celebrate the beauty of diverse bodies without piggybacking on that relentless message about what makes women worthy.
We modelled the impact small reductions in transmission would have on COVID deaths. We found a 20% drop could save the lives of 500 Victorians this year, or 2,000 people nationally.
We’d all like some answers. But uncertainty over how we count COVID cases is complicating the picture. Here’s what to expect in the days and weeks ahead.
With limited vaccines available in early 2021, the CDC had to decide which people received vaccines first. With the help of a supercomputer, researchers have shown that the CDC did an excellent job.
