Data from the US suggests we may have passed the point of 'peak obesity.' Have we? Also, spray testosterone in men's noses... and they'll emotionally dehumanize certain women.

Quiz time: How could a full moon make roads more dangerous? (Email [email protected] with your guess before you listen.) Also, teens (like all of us) use their phones while driving — and a jarring new study tells us how much.

Scientists in Berlin have shown you can stop the development of an embryo-like model - *NO HUMAN EMBYROS WERE USED IN THE EXPERIMENT* - and keep it alive to be developed later. The implications could be huge for IVF.
