US university scholars and international students: are you considering working or studying elsewhere?

We’d like to hear from scholars and students from abroad in light of the Trump administration’s attack on universities

International students at Harvard University were ordered this week to transfer schools or lose their legal status following the Trump administration’s revocation of the university’s eligibility to enroll students from abroad.

While that order was swiftly blocked by a judge, it is one of a series of events creating uncertainty on campuses across the US. It follows the US government’s revocation of hundreds of student visas on various grounds, including minor infractions or participation in protests against the war in Gaza. (Some of those visas have been reinstated.) Academics have also felt the impact of funding cuts and subsequent hiring freezes, leading to hundreds looking to leave the US to work elsewhere.

Tell us: what have you never quite understood about cooking oils?

In a new video series on our It’s Complicated YouTube channel, we’re on a mission to untangle confusing everyday topics by speaking directly with experts

Whether you’re frying an egg or dressing a salad, cooking oils are a staple in most kitchens, but figuring out which one to use can feel strangely complicated.

Coconut oil, butter, avocado oil – everyone seems to have a different theory.

In a new video series on our It’s Complicated YouTube channel, we’re on a mission to untangle confusing everyday topics by speaking directly with experts and asking the questions people actually have. In an upcoming episode, we’re turning our attention to cooking oils.

Tell us: what have you never quite understood about antibiotics?

In a new video series on our It’s Complicated Youtube channel, we’re on a mission to untangle confusing everyday topics by speaking directly with experts

Antibiotics are one of the most powerful tools in modern medicine, used to treat everything from minor infections to life-threatening illnesses. But despite how common they are, there’s still a lot of confusion about how they work, when we should take them, and what risks come with overuse. Antimicrobial resistance has been called one of the greatest public health threats by the World Health Organisation.
