Main topics

Are members of the post-war Baby Boomer generation really to blame for wealth inequality across the generations?

A TUC report has concluded the popular notion that wealthy Baby Boomers are hoarding the country’s wealth in retirement, at the expense of younger generations, is wrong.

Is Alzheimer’s Disease infectious?

The tabloid press have been getting excited this week with the news that Alzheimer’s could be transmitted during some medical procedures. This is based on a study which found that some patients with a rare form of “iatrogenic” Creutzfeldt Jakob Disease (iCJD), had a molecular hallmark of Alzheimer’s.

How good are teenagers with money?

There was an article in The Telegraph this week based on research which found teenagers are more rational with spending money than those in their 20s. Researchers from Duke University in North Carolina found that children aged 10 to 16 were better at picking the best options for saving money than young adults.
