The panel is back from Macstock and share highlights and lessons from the conference, including creative experimentation, podcast strategy, video production, accessibility, health, digital legacy planning, and useful Mac tools. Chuck Joiner, David Ginsburg, Marty Jencius, Eric Bolden, Brian Flanigan-Arthurs, Jim Rea, Web Bixby, Jeff Gamet, and Mark Fuccio reflect on the friendships and international […]
Pat Fauquet is the next stop onThe Road to Macstock is a conversation about her session, “Pills, Processes, and Procedures,” explaining how Apple devices can help manage medications, appointments, research, and communication with doctors. Drawing from years of health challenges and tech experience, she highlights the Apple Watch, iPhone, iPad, and Mac as practical tools for personal advocacy, caregiving, and preparedness. This might be the most important session this year.
The Road to Macstock stops to talk to Paula Marie Davis, who previews her first Macstock appearance and the path that led her from longtime Mac user and wellness coach to launching Ditch the Dogma with Ecamm. She explains why creators need to care for the person running the tech stack, how conference inspiration can become post-event exhaustion, and how movement, time mapping, and small wellness practices can support energy, creativity, and follow-through.
Strength training has long been seen as something you mainly do to build muscle or look good. But a new study adds to a growing body of evidence that shows lifting weights does far more than change how we look. It may help us live longer – even if you don’t spend hours each day in the […]
Falls are one of the biggest health risks facing older adults. Every year, millions of older people fall and many suffer broken bones, head injuries, loss of independence, and long hospital stays. A serious fall can also make people afraid to move around, which can lead to less physical activity, weaker muscles, and an even […]
Dogs may have more in common with humans than just sharing our homes and routines. A new study has found that the same biological signals linked to lifespan in people also appear in dogs, suggesting that both species may age in remarkably similar ways. The research comes from the Dog Aging Project, a long-term study […]
For years, sugar has been one of the most criticized parts of the modern diet. Health experts have linked excessive sugar consumption to obesity, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and other chronic health problems. As a result, many people try to reduce sugar intake, and some even attempt to eliminate it completely. However, new research […]
A tiny electronic sensor that can be swallowed like a pill may soon provide one of the most accurate ways to measure body temperature. Engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed a miniature device that continuously monitors temperature from inside the digestive tract, potentially helping doctors detect infections earlier and better manage […]
Farting may be one of the most common human activities, but it is also one of the least discussed. People often joke about it, apologize for it, or feel embarrassed when it happens unexpectedly. Yet passing gas is a completely natural process that plays an important role in keeping the digestive system functioning properly. When […]
Collagen is often described as the body’s natural scaffolding. It gives strength and structure to skin, bones, tendons, organs, and many other tissues. For decades, biology textbooks have shown collagen as a long, stiff, rod-shaped molecule. But a surprising new study suggests that picture is only part of the story. Researchers at the Center for […]
Many people know that regular exercise is good for health, but there is often confusion about how much exercise is needed and which type provides the greatest benefit. Walking, running, cycling, and swimming are often recommended because they improve heart and lung health. However, another form of exercise is becoming increasingly important as people age: […]
Many people believe they need to spend hours exercising every week to improve their health. For older adults, this belief can sometimes become a barrier. Long workouts may feel overwhelming, especially for those who have health problems, joint pain, limited mobility, or busy schedules. However, a new study from Penn State College of Medicine suggests […]
Everyone feels tired from time to time. A late night, a stressful week, or a demanding job can leave people feeling exhausted. But for some individuals, fatigue seems to persist even when they are sleeping reasonably well and trying to take care of themselves. Researchers are increasingly investigating whether nutritional factors may help explain why […]
Growing older often brings new challenges. Tasks that once felt easy, such as getting out of a chair, climbing stairs, or carrying household items, can gradually become more difficult. Many people assume that slowing down is simply an unavoidable part of aging. However, new research suggests that a surprisingly small amount of daily exercise may […]
Researchers at the University of Cambridge and startup company GlitterinTech have developed a tiny, low-cost device that could bring powerful chemical sensing capabilities to wearable technology. The new device is an optical spectrometer—a tool that analyzes how light interacts with materials. Spectrometers are widely used in science, medicine, manufacturing, and environmental monitoring because they can […]
