Summer is officially here, with its usual comely disposition and clammy conundrums. Do hot drinks cool you down? Why do we love beaches so much? And what actually is that mosquito’s problem? These are just a few of the questions to which Gloucester University science kingpin, Professor...
The average American consumes more than 23 pounds of ice cream every single year, which may help explain why obesity rates have hit an all-time high. Of course, reducing our intake isn’t an option—you can have my dipped cone when you pry it from my dead, sticky...
