A multidisciplinary team of researchers from the School of Anthropology and Museum Ethnography at the University of Oxford, the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, the Jane Goodall Institute in Tanzania, the University of Algarve and the University of Porto in Portugal, and the University of Leipzig, have discovered that chimpanzees living in Gombe Stream National Park in Tanzania employ a degree of engineering when making their tools, deliberately choosing plants that provide materials that produce more flexible tools for termite fishing.

The study focused on how stigma, social background and emotional factors impact white-collar offenders as they transition into society after prison and how modern technology, including social media, intensifies the stigma of imprisonment. While white-collar offenders typically face less difficulty securing employment and housing, due to stronger social networks and resources, they experience heightened anxiety about social stigma, particularly through online exposure. Their middle-class status increases vulnerability to public shaming, leading many to seek mental health support to cope with these challenges.

More and more young women are hesitant about having children in Sweden. New research from Uppsala University shows that one in four are either unsure about or do not want to have children at all – a big increase compared to 2014, when only one in ten felt this way. The same study also shows that fewer are using condoms and that a large proportion perceived consent when sexual activity was initiated.
