When you’re a dad, parenting questions often come up that you struggle to find an answer to. Since other parents are the worst and Google will send you down a rabbit hole of paralyzing, paranoid terror, we’re here to help by putting those questions to the experts....
Just when you thought oversharing on social media would be the downfall of modern society, two studies out of UCLA find a silver lining. It turns out, people’s social media and internet tendencies might help pinpoint and prevent the spread of sexually transmitted diseases. The studies, led...
