They do not. It's an old myth - the society used to blame schizophrenia on bad parents, especially mothers. This has no grounds in medical research.

I considered training our cat to do this, but there's a bunch of advice out there saying that it may be harmful to your cat, and may be difficult as the cat gets older. So please c…

"The modern housecat is just about as natural as a naked human living wild in the forest. It has been selectively bred..." I think it would be better to say "The modern housecat is…

Basic health things that can bankrupt you: diabetes, childbirth complications, etc.

Which journal are you referring to? I tried to search different variations of the website name on the list and couldn't find it.

I was going to suggest "Understanding physics" by Asimov. I think "On physics" is a collection of essays where "Understanding physics" is more a complete bottom-up treatment like P…

I recommend the author's book "In Persuasion Nation", a collection of short stories, mostly a kind of near-future sci-fi satirizing excesses of commercialism. Here is a story that …
