There are lots of guidebooks for parents of young children – but what happens when your offspring hit adulthood? A psychotherapist shares her guiding principles for raising grownups
When one of my daughters turned 18, our relationship hit a crisis so painful it lasted longer than I knew how to bear. I was a psychotherapist, trained in child and adult development, yet I was utterly flummoxed. Decades have passed since then, but when I recently spoke to her about that time, a flood of distress washed through me as if it were yesterday.
This is how my daughter, now a mother herself, put it when I asked her to describe that era:

Researchers tell ‘human story’ about crisis during plague of Justinian, which killed millions in Byzantine empire
A US-led research team has verified the first Mediterranean mass grave of the world’s earliest recorded pandemic, providing stark new details about the plague of Justinian that killed millions of people in the Byzantine empire between the sixth and eighth centuries.
The findings, published in February’s Journal of Archaeological Science, offer what researchers say is a rare empirical window into the mobility, urban life and vulnerability of citizens affected by the pestilence.

Une petite lune d’Uranus pourrait bien bouleverser notre vision des mondes glacés. Des chercheurs estiment désormais que Miranda, pourtant minuscule à l’échelle planétaire, cacherait sous sa croûte de glace un vaste océan liquide potentiellement profond de près de 100 kilomètres. Cette hypothèse ravive l’intérêt scientifique pour ce satellite …

Swedish study of 100,000 women found higher rate of early detection, suggesting potential to support radiologists
The use of artificial intelligence in breast cancer screening reduces the rate of a cancer diagnosis by 12% in subsequent years and leads to a higher rate of early detection, according to the first trial of its kind.
Researchers said the study was the largest to date looking at AI use in cancer screening. It involved 100,000 women in Sweden who were part of mammography screening and were randomly assigned to either AI-supported screening or to a standard reading by two radiologists between April 2021 and December 2022.

New study into ‘heritability’ shows that 50% of the variation in human lifespan could be down to genetics
Some people who live to a great age put it down to an evening tot of whisky, others to staying out of trouble. Now scientists think they may have unlocked a key secret to long life – quite simply, genetics.
Writing in the journal Science, the researchers described how previous studies that had attempted to unpick the genetic component of human lifespan had not taken into account that some lives were cut short by accidents, murders, infectious diseases or other factors arising outside the body. Such “extrinsic mortality” increases with age, as people often become more frail.
