What does it take to become a Catholic saint? Traditionally, it requires living a virtuous life and performing at least two miracles. Now, the Catholic Church’s approval for the canonization of its first millennial saint, Carlo Acutis, has turned that image on its head. Acutis, a young Italian teenager and tech whiz, died in 2006 of leukemia. But what does it take to become a saint in the modern era?

Do you tend to run hot—or are you always freezing? Overly air-conditioned workplaces mean that many workers—disproportionately women—find that the summer heat has yielded to what some dub “women’s winter.” Whether outside or in, at home or work, studies have shown that women are more sensitive to cold. Some of that may be due to differences in clothing. The other reason is that women, on average, burn fewer calories at rest than men, which creates less internal heat. But it might not be quite so simple. Find out what science really says about people who are sensitive to cold—and how it might affect their health and productivity: https://lnkd.in/eCY_CprB

This is Vittrup Man—the name given to the bones of a hunter-gatherer from the Stone Age. For 5,000 years, his skull has been preserved in a Danish bog thanks to the right temperature, plant life, and oxygen levels. His remains, found alongside the weapon that murdered him, provide fascinating insights into two pre-historic periods and cultures. Find out more about what was revealed: https://lnkd.in/eP6fXRSQ
