- An orphaned rufous bettong joey named Mr. Bean is being raised by wildlife ranger Riley Tydeman after being thrown from his mother's pouch in a wildlife sanctuary last year.
“Mr. Tydeman was the natural choice as surrogate ‘mum’ having successfully raised a number of macropod joeys before, including Rufous Bettongs,” conservation organization Aussie Ark said.
Rufous bettongs, sometimes called rufous rat-kangaroos, are small marsupials that were once widespread in parts of eastern Australia. According to Aussie Ark, the species has experienced habitat loss and an introduction of predators that have reduced its range.

- Date posted

- Description
- Intermittent fasting is an eating pattern that is sometime promoted as a way to lose weight or live longer. But when you look at the science, the evidence is far more mixed.
Studies suggest it can lead to short-term weight loss, but it’s hard to sustain, and the weight often comes back. Research in humans has also yet to prove that intermittent fasting prevents heart disease, cancer or helps people live longer.
So, what actually works? Dr. Trisha Pasricha, a physician at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, an assistant professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School and The Washington Post’s Ask a Doctor columnist, shares two simple habits she recommends instead, and explains why what you eat matters more than when you eat.

This week, Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi invited South Korean President Lee Jae Myung to join an impromptu drum jam session to K-pop songs. It was a nod to a throwaway comment Lee made during their meeting in South Korea late last year, where Lee said playing drums was his childhood dream.
The friendly rapport between the two leaders is unusual, given Takaichi’s nationalist views and Lee’s long track record of criticizing Japan over lingering animosities stemming from the Japanese occupation.

- On Jan. 13, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. added two outspoken vaccine critics to a powerful federal panel that helps shape immunization policy nationwide.
Both of his new appointees, OB/GYNs Kimberly Biss and Adam Urato, have publicly criticized coronavirus vaccines during pregnancy. A Washington Post review of their past interviews, podcast appearances, and social media posts found their skepticism of vaccines—particularly for pregnant women—runs deeper.
In a May 2023 panel hosted by the Vaccine Safety Research Foundation, an organization critical of coronavirus vaccines, Biss called the vaccine industry "disgusting."
The appointments come as the panel is already changing vaccine recommendations—moves that have alarmed medical groups, who warn the shifts could increase risks for children and pregnant women. Read more: https://wapo.st/45525Ck. Subscribe to The Washington Post on YouTube: https://wapo.st/2QOdcqK

As the Trump administration deploys thousands of federal immigration officers and agents around the nation, a loose-knit but increasingly organized network of activists is tracking their whereabouts and documenting arrests.
Federal court rulings say citizens can observe and record police activity in public areas as part of their First Amendment rights, and many of the observers are doing nothing more than that. They say that they believe authorities are less likely to use force if someone is recording and that they are providing a public service by letting their communities know when federal immigration officers are nearby.
But as officers and agents employ aggressive tactics, some activists have blown whistles to warn community members of approaching law enforcement, tried to follow immigration enforcement vehicles or used their own cars to block the roadways — entering murkier legal territory.
