A weekly newsletter from The Progress Network that gathers optimistic stories about scientific discovery, technology, and social innovation, such as new marine species, public trust in science, and alternative emergency response programs. It aims to offer a counterweight to crisis-heavy news with well-sourced, curiosity-driven reporting.

A professor of evolutionary psychology writes about sex differences, the nature-nurture debate, and human behaviour, often discussing new papers and excerpts from his book. Readers get research-based commentary with evolutionary context and the author's own views.
A paleontologist's blog about Ice Age fossils from Riverside County and the Western Science Center, working through unidentified bones from a poorly documented Temecula site and explaining museum practices like skeletal mounting. Readers get detailed, first-hand identification reasoning and insight into how museum exhibits are built.
Long-form essays that apply a physicist's lens to biology, cancer metabolism and the energy economics of AI-driven science. Readers get quantitative, cited analysis and skeptical readings of announcements such as AI-agent analysis of large CRISPR datasets.
Experimental History publishes essays that test popular claims against data and ideas from psychology, economics and the history of science. Readers get contrarian, humorous, evidence-driven takes on topics like AI and jobs, loneliness statistics, and why discoveries happen.
