SURVEYS, STUDIES & SUCH
You might already know this from experience at your work, but a new study found that spending too much time in close quarters with the same people can create stress, conflict, and mistrust. Researchers tracked 12 crew members living at an Antarctic research station for 10 months, using sensors and surveys to monitor their interactions. The team found that people who spent more time around one another were more likely to report conflict, suspicious thinking, and lower performance. As the mission continued, crew members also tended to form smaller social groups based on nationality or language, potentially weakening overall team cohesion. Researchers say the findings could help prepare future space missions, where small, multicultural crews may spend months or years living together in isolated environments.
BIG SCREEN-LITTLE SCREEN
When FX‘s “American Horror Story” Season 13 premieres on September 24, it’ll be without planned cast member Ariana Grande. Changes to the production dates of the horror series resulted in conflicts with her “Eternal Sunshine Tour”, so Grande was unable to make her AHS debut a reality. She did not shoot any scenes for the new season. The cast of the series was spotted shooting exterior scenes for the show, with fans noticing that Grande was noticeably missing – and now we know why.
Disney’s live-action “Moana,” starring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Catherine Lagaʻaia, saw a disappointing opening weekend at the box office. Although it still came in first, projections place its debut at a mere $40-45 million domestically, significantly trailing the animated “Moana 2’s” $140 million opening and the original’s massive success. With a $250 million production budget, this underperformance is a concern for Disney. “Minions & Monsters” dropped to second place with about $10 million. “Toy Story 5″ continued its strong run, adding about $18 million to push its domestic total over $400 million. The new horror film “Evil Dead Burn” looks to have opened at about $15 million.
No stranger to delivering a live performance for thousands of screaming fans, Dwayne Johnson is looking to add a Broadway show to his extensive resume. He has revealed that he’s “been working on” his Broadway debut for nearly 3 years. The Rock said that he and longtime friend/collaborator Kevin Hart “were going to do The Odd Couple”, but scheduling conflicts have stood in the way. Quote: “The truth is he’s so booked for the next 3-5 years.” Johnson said: “I totally get it…but I’m not letting that dream go.”

OF THE DAY
• 47% of adults lie to their doctor about how much they drink.
As heat waves become more common, some cities in China are trying a different way to cool apartment buildings. In Yuncheng, rooftop misting systems spray a fine mist of water into the hot air, using evaporative cooling – the same principle that helps sweat cool the body. Officials say the system can lower the temperature around a building by as much as 8°C on very hot days. Videos of the “rooftop rain” have gone viral, with many people wondering why it isn’t used elsewhere. While the idea looks promising, questions remain about its effectiveness, water use, maintenance, and how much it actually cools the buildings inside. LINK: https://tinyurl.com/3595yjmm

WEIRD NEWS
Scientists in Singapore have developed a tiny 3D-printed “scuba diving suit”…for cockroaches. The new invention lets remotely controlled Madagascar hissing cockroaches stay underwater for up to 3 hours. The insects, already equipped with electrodes to help guide them through disaster zones, previously struggled in flooded areas. The new resin suit uses a chemical reaction between hydrogen peroxide and manganese dioxide to generate oxygen, allowing the cockroaches to breathe underwater while moving at nearly their normal land speed. Researchers believe the technology could improve search-and-rescue missions after floods and earthquakes, and one day could even help explore the surface of Mars. LINK: https://tinyurl.com/ywj4ympe
