When I was living with an eating disorder as a child, the obsessive thoughts driving how I felt about my body looked a lot like OCD. The anxiety that followed me to the dinner table didn’t go away when I left multiple rounds of treatment; it went dormant and waited. It took years before any clinician helped me see the full picture, and longer before I had the language to name it. I wasn’t the exception.

The jobs report that came out today held good news for many American workers. In May, employers added 172,000 jobs—stronger than projected job growth—and unemployment did not budge from 4.3%. The leisure and hospitality sector led much of that growth, adding 70,000 jobs, while industries like healthcare have also continued hiring in significant numbers. The last few months of job growth, in fact, have been stronger than any other three-month period in over two years. One group of workers, however, has continued to face hurdles, even as the job market has returned to a steady state. While about 120,000 workers…

Dr. Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin.Bettmann ArchiveFor most of the last century, drug discovery was a slow, physical process. You started with a theory about how a disease worked, designed hundreds or thousands of molecules to test your theory, watched them fail, adjusted, and tried again. Progress came unevenly and often at great cost.AI is changing that. Today, before a scientist ever picks up a pipette, much of the early work can happen with the help of computers.Some people have started calling this shift a “search engine for biology.” Instead of probing biology blindly, researchers can now navigate it and query…

It’s the first Friday of June (June 5, 2026), and that means it is once again National Donut Day in America (or National Doughnut Day, if you’re Krispy Kreme). Despite the urge to assume the unofficial holiday is just another modern-day marketing scheme by the donut industrial complex, National Donut Day’s origin actually goes back nearly 90 years. As Fast Company previously reported, the first National Donut Day was actually observed in 1938. Per SFGate, the Salvation Army declared the holiday that year to commemorate the volunteers who handed out donuts to frontline soldiers during World War I. Those volunteers,…

Nvidia and Apple are two powerhouses helping to define the future of AI.NurPhoto via Getty ImagesNvidia’s Role in the AI BoomNvidia has become the face of the AI revolution by doing what early winners always do: making the future tangible. It’s a familiar pattern. In the PC cycle, those were the silicon suppliers. In the Internet era, it was all about building infrastructure. But those cycles also reveal something more important—the companies that capture attention first are not always the ones that capture the most value.However, there is always nuance when leveraging technology in transitions. That nuance is in Apple…
