Beyond Blue has launched "The Future We Choose: Mental health support in Australia through the next decade of change," a new strategic foresight report by Australia's national science agency, CSIRO, exploring how mental health in Australia may evolve over the next decade and the choices that could help shape a stronger, more connected and resilient future.

As countries compete for skilled workers and grapple with aging populations and labor shortages, understanding who is moving across borders is increasingly important. A new study provides the first global data set of immigration composition disaggregated simultaneously by age, sex and educational attainment, offering a new basis for tracking brain gain and brain drain and improving population projections.

New research challenges the idea that career shocks are bad news for expatriate workers, finding that major personal, professional or societal disruptions can instead act as a catalyst for adaptation and resilience.
Wealth redistribution policies currently under discussion in international forums could avert between 6.6 million and 29.5 million deaths by 2030, according to a study published in The Lancet and led by ISGlobal in collaboration with other leading economic and health research institutions.

Some people seem naturally tidy. Their keys are always in the same place, clothes make it into the closet, and their kitchen counter remains mysteriously visible.
A new study shows that some U.S. police officers often use the term "bad guys" to describe people who commit crimes, especially when faced with ambiguity in their work. It is a label officers may use to reduce complex and morally challenging situations and contexts into a clearer, more legible framework.
In new research in the PsyCh Journal, people who tended to analyze experiences as mathematical cost-benefit problems were more likely to ignore moral rules. This tendency was associated with a greater willingness to make ethical compromises for money or status, as well as to accept immoral help when it benefited them.
Nearly two-thirds of Australian children surveyed in a recent study received at least one form of grooming-related communication from a stranger online in the past year, while almost one-third reported receiving direct requests for sexual information or interactions.
As Hong Kong Special Administrative Region's population ages at one of the fastest rates in the world, demand for family elder care increases daily. To understand the responsibilities and roles assumed by grandchildren in caring for their grandparents, the Asia-Pacific Institute of Aging Studies (APIAS) at Lingnan University conducted an in-depth interview study.
New research concludes that Multi-Agency Safeguarding Hubs (MASHs) are failing to provide better protection for children in England, instead causing families distress and putting more pressure on social care resources.
It's that time of year again, when we learn which lucky scientists are among the winners of the Ig Nobel Prizes. This year, the prizes honor research on designing the perfect splash-free urinal; using mosquito proboscises to "necroprint" tiny nozzles; studying composition rates of buried cotton underwear; and the aerodynamics of a healthy nose-blow, among other highlights.
Established in 1991, the Ig Nobels are a good-natured parody of the Nobel Prizes; they honor “achievements that first make people laugh and then make them think.” The unapologetically campy awards ceremony features miniature operas, scientific demos, and "24/7 lectures," whereby experts must explain their work twice: once in 24 seconds and the second in just seven words.
Acceptance speeches are limited to 60 seconds. And as the motto implies, the research being honored might seem ridiculous at first glance, but that doesn’t mean it’s devoid of scientific merit. In the weeks following the ceremony, the winners will also give free public talks, which will be posted on the Improbable Research website.
A recent National Student Safety Survey found that one in six students attending Australian universities had been sexually harassed and one in 20 had been sexually assaulted since starting university.

Scientists are increasingly relying on powerful data sources and tools that they often cannot fully understand, inspect or verify, according to a new study.

Whether on lunch break or on the clock, many employees scroll through the news and social media during the workday. Researchers found that employees who "doomscroll" at work suffer hidden costs that extend beyond lost productivity.
