How John Fetterman Came Out of the Darkness
When he looks back on the past year—a year in which he nearly died, became a U.S. Senator, and nearly died again—it is the debate that John Fetterman identifies as the ­breaking point. “The debate lit the mitch,” he says, then shakes his head in frustration and tries again. The right word is there in his brain, but he struggles to get it out. “Excuse me, that should be lit the mitch—” He stops and tries again. “Lit the match,” he says finally. Oct. 25, 2022: the date is lodged in his mind. “I knew I had to do it,” he tells me. “I knew that the vote...

Your workplace wants you to swallow a happy pill. What if you found collective joy instead?
For years the corporate diktat has been that happiness must be achieved alone, but many are turning to communities for joyThere are 11-year-olds with dyed blue hair, ripped men in their 40s and dirtbag hipsters in their 20s, all hanging from plastic crimps on the walls of a high-ceilinged gym. As electronic dance music plays loudly, Gatorade and microbrews are being served to the audience. They dance and clap in unison. Some gather to chat and cheer at those climbing the walls around them. It ’s exuberant, anarchic, and although I am not a climber, I am in the middle of it, sitting cross-legged on the sweaty floor.I ’m...

One in five people who contract the COVID-19 virus don ’t get sick. A gene variant may explain why
SARS-CoV-2 kills some of the people it infects and makes many others miserable. But a fortunate few skate through a bout of COVID-19 without suffering symptoms. One key to avoiding illness, according to a new study, is a version of a particular immune system gene that only some people carry. When individuals with this gene variant are exposed to common coronaviruses that cause colds, the research shows, they gain protection against SARS-CoV-2. “I love this paper,” says immunologist Shane Crotty of the La Jolla Institute for Immunology, who wasn’t connected to the research. The study, he says, provides “the str...
