Dad brains: How fatherhood rewires the male mind #psychology #longread

The earliest research on how fathers are physically changed by babies came from observations of other animals. These late 20th-Century studies found that many mammalian males – including other primates – show clear hormonal shifts, including rises and drops in hormones like testosterone, vasoprin and prolactin, typically associated with motherhood, as they engage in active parental care.

Take, for instance, oxytocin, the so-called love hormone. This is one hormone I recall from my prenatal courses: we were encouraged to keep things relaxed and smooth during labour so my partner's oxytocin would flow and ease up the delivery.

The electromechanical angle computer inside the B-52 bomber's star tracker #engineering #longread

Before GPS, how did aircraft navigate? One important technique was celestial navigation: navigating from the positions of the stars, planets, or the sun. While celestial navigation is accurate, cannot be jammed, and doesn't require any broadcast infrastructure, it is a difficult and time-consuming process to perform manually. In the early 1960s, an automated system was developed for the B-52 bomber to automatically track stars and compute navigation information. Digital computers weren't suitable at the time, so the star tracking system performed trigonometric calculations with an electromechanical analog computer called the Angle Computer.
