What can we learn from people who succeed later in life?

As a society, we tend to focus on prodigies -- the young stars in their fields. But what if we looked at the people at the opposite end of the timeline instead? By studying them, network scientist Albert-László Barabási has come up with lessons that can benefit us all. When, at the age of 50, John Fenn joined the faculty at Yale, he was old by ...

Jeff Smith: The rest of his political incarceration story

Jeff Smith was blown away by some of the brilliant business ideas he heard while spending 366 days in prison between 2009 and 2010. “[Prison] was teeming with smart, ambitious men whose business instincts were in many cases as sharp as those of the CEOs who had wined and dined me six months earlier when I was a rising star in the Missouri S...

Like it or not, many teens watch porn -- so why not use it to teach positive lessons?

Many young people turn to pornography for information and advice. With this reality comes an opportunity: We can utilize it to start important conversations with them about sex and relationships, says public health researcher Emily Rothman.
