The Unintended Consequences of Becoming More Empathetic
When people say that they want to change things about their personalities, they might not know about the inadvertent consequences these changes could bring. In fact, changes in personality may also lead to changes in political ideologies, say researchers from Michigan State University and the University of Granada, who led the study.

Not All Genes Linked to Diseases Are As "Bad" as They Seem
From Alzheimer’s to obesity, life can change dramatically if you discover you have a genetic risk of disease. Now, a new study from the Australian Centre for Precision Health, University of South Australia is challenging these predispositions, showing that some of the genes traditionally labelled as ‘bad’ are not always what they seem.
