Calimero is a black chick with a half-broken eggshell on his head. He’s always complaining about something or other, with “But it’s an injustice” being his favourite line. A more recent animated version of the cartoon appeared on Disney Junior in the UK in the 2010s.Maybe you can think of someone you know in real life who’s an eternal complainer. Is there any chance other people might think that way about you? Well, French psychoanalyst Saverio Tomasella went as far as naming a syndrome after the cartoon chick. He released The Calimero Syndrome as a book in 2017, covering it extensively. Isn’t it normal to complain when things don’t go our way? So why do Calimeros complain so much then?

As we enter 2023, we’re desperately looking for ways to combat human-induced climate change. It’s a worthy cause, but it’s clear that some irreversible effects have already happened, and that will continue for some time. So it would be foolish not to prepare for the reality of living on a planet which has undergone significant warming. There’s relatively little known about how our bodies will react, which is why France’s Human Adaptation Institute set up three Deep Climate expeditions to take place between December 2022 and June 2023. The project will help researchers understand better how the human body adapts to intense conditions. A team of 20 volunteer “climatonauts” with no field experience will be accompanied by explorer and project organiser Christian Clot.What goes on during the expeditions? What bodily functions do we have to deal with climate change?

You might be familiar with the expression ‘you make your own luck’ or with the idea of thinking positively to create a positive outcome - some people refer to it as ‘manifesting’. But now, a new trend on the social media platform TikTok has taken it one step further with what has been dubbed ‘lucky girl syndrome’.Essentially you tell yourself that everything just works out for you and that you are the luckiest person with phrases like ‘everything just always works out for me’ or I always get what I want’ and just like that  you now have Lucky Girl Syndrome. It first started on TikTok in December 2022, when creator Laura Galebe posted a video explaining how she believes she gets “the most insane opportunities” simply by “expecting great things” to happen.How does it work? Is there any evidence that it works? What are the problems with Lucky Girl Syndrome?

Sleepwalking is a disorder that comes on during the deep sleep phase, from one to three hours after falling asleep. Episodes can last from 5 to 30 minutes and despite the condition’s name, they don’t always involve walking. Often people just rub their eyes, sit up on their bed or talk in their sleep. According to the NHS, one in five children will sleepwalk at least once in their life. Meanwhile, the American Academy of Sleep Medicine says that prevalence in adults is up to 4%. So it’s clearly more common in kids than in adults, and most kids tend to grow out of it when they hit their teens. Bear in mind a tendency to sleepwalk can be inherited.Is it a common disorder? How on earth am I as an adult going to realise if I sleepwalk? How responsible are we for our actions when sleepwalking?

When it comes to news about the environment, it can feel like everything is doom and gloom. But we recently discussed how some people’s climate anxiety has turned into climate optimism of late, and that’s a trend that could continue this year.One piece of good news relates to depletion of the ozone layer. You may well have heard of the so-called “hole” in the ozone layer. Well, the name is a little misleading. It actually refers to the ozone layer thinning in areas, rather than an actual hole. This phenomenon was first discovered in 1985 by Joseph Farman, Brian Gardiner and Jonathan Shanklin, all scientists at the British Antarctic Survey.What’s the purpose of the ozone layer? How quickly will it be healed then? Will it be fully healed everywhere in the world?

Until recently when confronted with arranging a funeral there has been a choice between burial or cremation. However, in parts of the US, Canada and soon the UK a third choice can be possible. Aquamation or as it is known technically  “alkaline hydrolysis”   is an alternative to traditional burials. The body of the deceased is placed in a pressurised stainless steel vessel and immersed in a mixture of water and alkali  for three to four hours and heated to around 150C. During the process all the material is broken down leaving only the inorganic bone minerals  which are then processed into powder and returned to the family in an urn.What is aquamation? What is the advantage of aquamation? What are the disadvantages of aquamation?
