Primo Levi. His legacy still bonds chemistry and conscience.
Today would have been Primo Levi's birthday. Chemist, Holocaust survivor, and one of the most powerful literary voices of the 20th century, Levi returned again and again to a central insight in his work: chemistry is never neutral. It carries the weight of human responsibility. This is the spiri...

By the time the World Cup final kicks off, a British dad whose baby arrived on the opening day will have been back at work for a month.
That’s how bad our paternity leave is.

According to Keir Starmer, the New Year’s honours recognise people “who put the common good ahead of themselves to strengthen communities” with “quiet dedication” – yet higher awards went to party hacks and poorly performing executives.
