Welcome to the June issue of The Highlight
We live in an age where seemingly everything can be quantified, including the minutiae of our own biological processes. In this month's cover story, we take a look at health tracking, which has evolved from step-counting to something much more complex. It's a thorny question: Is all this data helping us be healthier, or is it actually hurting us? On the political front, we explore if the death of reading has poisoned our politics. Two stories about AI help round out the issue: One interrogates how much we should worry about the suffering of AI systems. The other provides some guidance around how to deal with cheating students. Plus, what should in-law relationships really be like? And is the new grad job market as bleak as it's made out to be? By Sigal Samuel By Adam Clark Estes By Eric Levitz What do you actually owe your in-laws? By Allie Volpe Coming June 4 Am I torturing ChatGPT? By Sigal Samuel Coming June 5 What today's new college graduates are up against By Rachel Cohen Coming June 6

Welcome to the May issue of The Highlight
We're thinking a lot about bodies this month. In our cover story, we ask: Should we get rid of menopause? It's not a hypothetical question — emerging research shows the potential of delaying, or even forgoing, menopause. We also have a look at how much protein you really need to eat, how much hair (and hair loss) is tied to confidence (or lack thereof), and new science around vaping. The rest of the issue is devoted to the world around, not within, us. We dive into how men and women are diverging politically all over the globe, and also explore a policy solution that could bring about much-needed housing. Plus, how can we better trust each other? What exactly are animal instincts? And how can you compel the well-off people in your life to give away their money? By Anna North By Sigal Samuel Why are men so much more right-wing than women now?
