You’ve probably seen compounding making headlines recently, and not for the right reasons. From so-called “personalized” GLP-1s flooding the market to telehealth startups touting hormone “rebalancing” kits, compounding has become a buzzword for companies looking to shortcut regulation. Much of the scrutiny is justified; some companies exploit compounding to bypass evidence standards or chase fast revenue. But when compounding is grounded in rigorous data, fills a real market gap, and meets a clinical need, it can meaningfully accelerate access to therapies that would otherwise take years to reach patients. In women’s health, especially, it can bridge the gap between urge…

In 2012, NASA launched two probes into space: Van Allen Probe A and Van Allen Probe B. Their goal was to collect data on charged particles passing through Earth’s magnetic field. Those particles can wreak havoc on communications and other technologies on our planet, so understanding them is important. In 2019, the Van Allen Probes’ mission ended. With its fuel spent, the “A” probe is set to reenter Earth’s atmosphere today, and the parts of it that are not burned up upon reentry may crash onto our planet in the next 24 hours. Here’s what you need to know. Which probe is crashing? Thankfully, we only need to worry about one probe crashing into Earth to…

Dollar General’s fourth-quarter and full-year 2026 earnings report shows some successes—though you wouldn’t know that by the reaction of its stock.

And yet the discount retailer’s financial results include figures such as a 5.9% increase year-over-year (YOY) in quarter-four, with net sales increasing to $10.9 billion.

Notably, Dollar General did predict slower growth for 2026.…

An “unprecedented,” potentially record-breaking heat wave is expected to hit much of the American southwest, from California to Colorado, this week—and experts are concerned about how temperatures will affect the region’s already-low snowpacks. Temperatures in the Los Angeles area will be 15 to 25 degrees above seasonal norms on Thursday, March 12, and Friday, March 13, according to the National Weather Service (NWS), reaching into the 90s along the coast and potentially above 100 degrees in some areas. “Given the unprecedented length and magnitude of this extreme heat wave, heat stress will be increasing each day, especially in areas that aren’t used to the heat…

Digg is shutting down—at least for now. Just two months after relaunching with an open beta, the once-influential social news site says it is pulling the plug while it reassesses its strategy. The announcement came from CEO Justin Mezzell in a message posted to the site’s homepage. The relaunch has been scrapped, he wrote, and the company has decided “to significantly downsize the Digg team.” As the company figures out its next move, Mezzell said, Digg founder Kevin Rose will return to Digg on a full-time basis starting in April. The shutdown marks another twist in the long, uneven history of a platform that once helped define the early social web. Twenty-two year…

Whether you’re a devoted college basketball junkie or you just pay attention for a few weeks each spring, you’ll get a lot more out of the Division I men’s tournament if you know the storylines behind the matchups. Here are some of the biggest narratives to follow from work, home, and wherever you watch the games. The year of the freshmen From February 2021 until the start of the 2025-26 college basketball season, there were exactly three 40-point games by freshmen. On January 24, 2026, three freshmen achieved that milestone on a single day. Two of them were playing against then-top-12-ranked teams, on the road. Kingston Flemings of Houston scored 42 point…

With AI capabilities doubling in a matter of months, agility is no longer a competitive advantage for business leaders—it’s now become a survival skill. “The entire order of companies and the way in which they deliver value and the entire business models that they have been built on for the last few decades or longer are being rewritten in front of us,” Peter Smart, chief experience officer and managing partner of product design firm Fantasy, said during a discussion at the Fast Company Grill at SXSW. “The new agility is coherence: Can you create the conditions by which it’s very clear what we do, what the value is that we produce, and how we’re going to get there?” …

Jackie, the world-famous Big Bear bald eagle, has been melting hearts and educating the public about her species since 2015, thanks to a web camera run by the California nonprofit Friends of Big Bear Valley (FOBBV). A little more than 10 years later, her admirers have the chance to give back. FOBBV and the San Bernardino Mountains Land Trust (SBMLT) have teamed up to raise money to purchase the property with the goal of preserving the open space. These 62 acres, located on the north shore of Big Bear Lake, are vital not only for Jackie but also for her mate Shadow and their offspring. Developer RCK Properties wants to put 50 custom homes and 55 boat slips inst…

America’s stance on gun rights has always been complicated. On the one hand, people fight vociferously for their Second Amendment rights. On the other, 47,000 people died due to gun-related injuries in 2023 alone. That uneasiness reaches beyond the right to bear arms. It’s increasingly affecting people’s ability to pursue a seemingly unrelated hobby: 3D printing. State lawmakers across the United States are debating—and in some cases nearing passage of—rules that would require 3D printers to include mandatory “print blocker” software. These systems would scan files and refuse jobs they think might produce firearm parts. Washington’s HB 2321 would require printers or sli…

Ever find yourself behind the wheel watching all the other cars go by and think to yourself, “Man, I’m a much better driver than all these clowns on the road?” It’s a funny thing about this question. Pretty much everyone reading this is likely to say “yes.” It seems we all think we’re better drivers than the next guy. In a landmark 1981 study, psychologist Ola Svenson asked people in the U.S. and Sweden to rate their driving skills compared to the average person. The results? Around 80–93% rated themselves “above” average—statistically impossible—with an eye-popping 93% in the American sample doing so. Psychologists call this “illusory superiority,” the human …
