We don’t often talk about love at work, but we should. I do not mean romantic love. A mentor of mine, Dr. Ken Ginsburg, a pediatrician and one of the nation’s leading experts on positive youth development, describes this kind of love as loving kindness—human respect for each other and the desire to lift each other up. If we could practice this with each other at work, the world would be a different place. Loving someone means seeing who they truly are and celebrating who they are.

Formlabs wants to make industrial 3D printing feel less like industrial 3D printing.

More than a year into President Donald Trump’s second term, the landscape of the country’s robust public data collection and publishing infrastructure has deteriorated. Federal reports on everything from billion-dollar climate disasters to food insecurity have been scrapped; thousands of workers involved in government data collection have lost their jobs. 

USAFacts, the not-for-profit focused on making government data more accessible and understandable, has been reacting in real time. And now, its new president Lauren Woodman, who took the helm on April 20, is looking to empower voters ahead of the midterms to call for better data infrastructure to inform genuinely impactful legislation

There’s a concept in user experience design called designing for the extreme user. The idea is simple: if you build a product that works for the most demanding, most constrained user, it will work well for everyone else too. Curb cuts, designed for wheelchair users, turned out to benefit cyclists, parents with strollers, delivery workers, and elderly pedestrians. Closed captions, designed for deaf viewers, became indispensable in gyms, airports, and open offices.

ThredUp users have a routine. They stuff a bag with the sweaters and jeans they never wear, mail it off and let the company do the heavy lifting. ThredUp receives the package and proceeds to photograph, price, and list everything, so the sellers can forget about it until they get money deposited in their bank account a few months later.

If you’ve been hearing a lot more about passkeys recently, there’s good reason for it. 

After becoming more widely available in 2022, passkeys have surged in popularity, driven by ease of use and increased security over the traditional password. The FIDO Alliance, the consortium that drove the development and adoption of passkeys, noted in a 2026 survey that some five billion of them are now in use globally and about 90 percent of people are aware of them. The first Thursday in May, which was once known as World Password Day, has even rebranded to World Passkey Day.

OpenAI has joined the circus of private AI companies with confirmed plans to go public.

The plasma physicist Troy Carter leads the U.S. fusion energy program at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. It’s one of science’s hottest and most humbling pursuits: trying to understand plasma, the superheated, electrically charged gas at the heart of stars—and, since the 1950s, every hydrogen bomb test and fusion experiment.

Yesterday, Apple unveiled the next major version of the operating system that will power the iPhone.

A few years ago, if you walked down the produce aisle in any major supermarket in the U.S., you might have seen a sticker on avocados or lemons that said “Apeel.” The label wasn’t from a grower, but from a company designed to fight food waste; by adding a food-safe, plant-based coating to the fruit, it’s possible to make it last days longer, so it’s less likely to end up in the trash.

More than three months after it announced plans to close hundreds of restaurant locations this year, Papa Johns International appears to have already made significant reductions to its national footprint. 

The workplace has a recovery problem.

Most people assume that being the most valuable person on a team means delivering the most. The best outputs. The deepest expertise. The highest score on whatever performance metric the org has decided matters this year.

As tech companies pour billions into AI, they face a growing risk: it’s incredibly unpopular. The backlash isn’t surprising. Do we really want technology that eliminates jobs, uses huge amounts of energy and water, erodes our ability to think, and poses a wide range of other risks, from making it easier for the government to surveil citizens to encouraging teen suicide? AI could obviously also be a useful tool—potentially helping develop better drugs and climate solutions, for example—but the haters have a point. And while AI may seem unstoppable, the lack of support means that it’s getting much harder for tech companies to build the new data centers that they desperately want.

Pirate’s Booty, the corn puff snack that’s been a ubiquitous part of American kids’ diets for decades, just got a rebrand that’s making some fans do a double take in grocery store aisles.

There are 12,060 reasons to clear your weekend calendar. That is the piece count of the new Lego Sagrada Família. It’s the largest, most complex Lego set ever made by piece count, designed around one of the most visually audacious buildings in history. Priced at $800, it is not for everyone, but it sure beats paying for a flight to Barcelona to fight the swarms of tourists buzzing around this iconic landmark.

The MBA is often considered the cornerstone degree for business leaders who aspire to reach the corner office. In fact, roughly 75% of the Fortune 500’s top 20 CEOs received an MBA or some other graduate degree. The chief executives of Apple, Microsoft, Blackrock, and JPMorgan all hold MBA degrees, among countless other leaders who have risen to the top after graduating from business school or pursuing further education later in their career. As a business school professor, I see the ambition in the eyes of MBA students who aspire to be counted among tomorrow’s change makers. Although some enter the program looking for a job with higher pay or perhaps even a two-year vacation from the real world, a common trope depicted on TikTok and Instagram about the perceived unseriousness of B-school, the elite among the crop are looking for something far greater: an opportunity to lead.     

For most of human history, philosophers and scientists alike have viewed emotion as the enemy of reason. From the Stoics of Ancient Greece to modern behavioral economists, the assumption has broadly remained the same—namely that humans are obviously capable of remarkable rationality, adaptability, and intellectual sophistication, but (still) our emotions frequently sabotage those gifts at the worst possible moments.

If you haven’t experienced burnout, you’ve surely witnessed it. I have certainly taken part in conversations about someone who hit that wall of physical and emotional exhaustion at work. The sentiments are almost always the same: They were working too hard; they just didn’t know how to create a work-life balance.
