InboxScore.email Editor's Note: Anyone raising more than one child, Damour says, or who has a sibling, intuitively knows that sibling relationships play a powerful role in affecting who we become. "If parents are the fixed stars in the child's universe, the vaguely understood, distant but constant celestial spheres, siblings are the dazzling, sometimes scorching comets nearby," wrote Alison Gopnik, a developmental psychologist, in a review of a book about siblings in 2011.

WorkWorkThe big idea: could the English language die' Given that a staggering 1,500 languages could vanish by the end of this century, by some estimates – close to a quarter of the world’s total – some may find it obscene to even ask this question. English is certainly not on the endangered list. As the one truly global language, it is more often labelled an exterminator, a great lumbering titanosaur that unwittingly crushes hapless smaller languages underfoot – or undertongue. WorkWork
WorkWorkMIT engineering students crack egg dilemma, finding sideways is stronger  It’s been a scientific truth so universally acknowledged that it’s taught in classrooms and repeated in pop-science videos: An egg is strongest when dropped vertically, on its ends. But when MIT engineers actually put this assumption to the test, they cracked open a surprising revelation. WorkCar Companies Are In A Billion-Dollar Software War, And Everyone's Losing Ford announced this week that it is merging FNV4, its project to develop a next-generation electrical architecture designed to unlock new functionality and upgradeability for both EVs and internal-combustion cars, with its existing architecture, seemingly confirming reports that the project has not gone as planned. It’s another in a long, long line of false starts in the race for legacy automakers to develop true “software-defined vehicles” (SDVs), and further proof of just how hard the task is. Work 
WorkBorder agents are going to photograph everyone leaving the US by car Customs and Border Protection (CBP) plans on photographing every single person who leaves the US by car, an agency spokesperson told Wired. The agency says it will start using facial recognition technology at official border crossings to match all outbound travelers’ faces to their passports, visas, or other travel documents, though there’s no public timeline for when this will happen. Work12 reasons to ignore computer science degrees Does the tech world need computer science? Not the computers or the chips, but the abstract collection of theories taught in universities with departments sporting that name. Not science in general, but the idea of thinking about programming with a theoretical lens. The question becomes trickier now that AI will be quickly putting us all out of business. AI will be able to think deeply about computing ideas so we don’t need to. They can already keep track of billions of tidbits of knowledge. Is there any point to computer science as a discipline if we can ask the AIs to build something majestic while we nap? WorkWeather tracker: North America could experience record heat as high pressure builds Soil moisture indices are showing that many places are currently at the “permanent wilting point”, meaning available water in the soil has been exhausted leading to plants permanently wilting. It is not only widespread at the surface, but also seeping through the deeper layers of the soil, meaning that those plants with tap-root systems and trees will begin experiencing drought stress as the deeper soil moisture reserves dwindle. WorkTrump administration offers refugee status to 49 white South Africans The Trump administration has criticized South Africa on several fronts. Trump’s February executive order cut all US funding to South Africa over what it said was its anti-white stance and also accused it of pursuing an anti-American foreign policy. It cited South Africa’s ties with Iran and its move to lodge a genocide case against US ally Israel over the war in Gaza as examples of it taking “aggressive positions towards the United States”.
WorkWorkWorkWorkWho Wins Nobel Prizes? The most prestigious scientific achievement is likely the Nobel Prize, which is awarded every year to “those who confer the greatest benefit to mankind” in the fields of physics, medicine, and chemistry (of course, there are also Nobel Prizes for literature and peace, as well as a Nobel Prize for economics which was added much later). Because the prize has been awarded for so long (since 1901), and because the bar for winning them is so high, the history of prize winners gives us an interesting glimpse into the history of scientific progress. Looking at the backgrounds of Nobel Prize winners can tell us about where some of the best scientific work is being done, and the sort of people and institutions that are doing it.
WorkVideo: What Is Absent From the Pro-Natalist Ideas Pitched to Trump? Baby bonuses and menstrual cycle classes are among the ideas pitched to President Trump’s aides as they consider plans to boost the birthrate. After writing about this, Caroline Kitchener, a New York Times reporter who writes about the American family, was inundated with emails and comments from readers with the same notion, what about child care?

WorkModerna's Super-Vaccine for Flu and Covid Works--Now Politics Could Sink It This week, scientists at Moderna published data from a Phase III trial testing the company’s combination vaccine, codenamed mRNA-1083. Individuals given mRNA-1083 appeared to generate the same or even greater immune response compared to those given separate vaccines, the researchers found. But the FDA’s recent policy change on vaccine approvals, orchestrated by Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr, could imperil the development of this and other future vaccines. WorkWorkWork
