When no medical treatment existed for their children, these fathers built one Every year on Father's Day, the internet fills up with tributes to dads who showed up at recitals, practices, and bedsides during long nights. But there is another kind of showing up that rarely makes the greeting cards: the kind where a father receives the worst news of his life, is told there is nothing medicine can do, and decides that is simply not an acceptable answer.

Repeat diners rave about the roasted garlic and crab soup, studded with fat lumps of local Dungeness; the lightly battered fried rockfish tacos served with citrus slaw, Huichol m...
More than a quarter of private colleges are at risk of closing, new projection shows More than a dozen newborn lambs cavorted around a fenced-in yard beneath the scrutiny of their mothers and a few watchful students taking turns attending to them. The lambs’ successful births have been a needed bright spot at tiny Sterling College, which uses a 130-acre farm to teach agriculture and other disciplines in a part of northeastern Vermont so isolated it’s rare to see a passing car, and there’s no ce...
Loneliness affects 1 in 6 people globally. New research reveals the childhood experiences that help adults thrive Kids have more ways to connect than ever.

The World Health Organization (WHO) calls loneliness a global health threat, and the numbers explain why....
The big summer trip is getting harder to pull off. What families are doing instead. Ask most Americans about their favorite summer memory, and water shows up somewhere — a lake at dusk, a boat rocking gently, quiet mornings with nowhere else to be. For a lot of them, that feeling has been easier to remember than recreate. As travel costs climb and traditional vacations feel increasingly complicated, the appeal of something closer to home has grown. Each year, 85 million Americans find it on t...

Want to stay ahead of AI? Start with the skills it can't replicate. In a world where, thanks to generative AI, anyone can churn out brand content at scale, it may be tempting to assume that writing-heavy jobs will soon be few and far between. But it turns out that many employers are actively looking for brand journalists and content marketers who have the storytelling skills that AI can’t replace — and, somewhat ironically, they’re willing to pay a premium if those storytellers can also use A...
