Han Parker has streaks of green running through her hair and sports a killer cat eye. On TikTok, she garners millions of views not for lip-syncing trendy audio or producing stylish #GRWMs. Instead, @historical_han_ goes viral for talking about…the archeology of art in the Roman Near East. Seriously.
Parker, 24, has multiple degrees in Classical Civilizations and Archaeology and subsidizes her doctoral stipend through content creation. During the pandemic, she took up TikTok as a joke. But soon, her videos, especially her "Archaeology News" and "Sappy History" series, were commanding views in the millions.
Much of her most popular content is concerned with Pompeii, the ancient city preserved in volcanic ash. When we chat, Parker tells me why she's obsessed with the subject matter. While the vast majority of digs reveal artifacts of funerary, military, or religious value, the Vesuvian site raises different sorts of questions: "The way people decorated their homes, the colors and the murals—why would someone want a sex scene painted on their foyer?" she asks me conspiratorially.
According to TikTok analytics, her followers are mostly in the 18 to 34 year old range. Seventy-five percent of her viewers are female. Parker has received dozens of comments from historians-in-the-making: How can I do this? I'm going to college because of you. You gave me the idea for my thesis. For Parker, who is originally from Saudi Arabia, it's a powerful validation of her online presence. "TikTok is getting me into a world that isn't meant for me," she says, indicating her hair and skin. |

Periods are normal, but kids pointing them out in their sketches is something else. Australian woman Penny Rohleder shared a photo of her son's drawing on the Facebook page of blogger Constance Hall on Jul. 25, which well, says it all. SEE ALSO: James Corden tests out gymnastics class for his son and is instantly showed up by children "I don't know whether to be proud or embarrassed that my 5 year old son knows this," Rohleder wrote. "Julian drew a family portrait. I said 'What's that red bit on me?' And he replied, real casual, 'That's your period.'" Well, at least he knows. To give further context, Rohleder revealed she had pulmonary embolism in October 2016, and was put on blood thinning treatment which makes her periods "very, very bad," she explained to the Daily Mail .

For centuries , humans have used fish oils, orally or topically, to treat a wide array of ailments, from aches and pains to rickets and gout. The popularity of this supplement has shifted over the years, as have its primary uses. But over the past couple of decades, the hype around fish oil has arguably reached an all-time high. According to National Institutes of Health statistics , in 2012, at least 18.8 million Americans used about $1.3 billion dollars worth of fish oil, making it the third most widely used supplement in the nation. (Sales reportedly flattened out at about that level around 2013.) Today, many use it because they believe it will broadly help their heart health , but others hold that fish oil can help with renal health, bone, and joint conditions, cognitive functions and mental wellness, and any number of other conditions. But is fish oil really as good for you as millions of Americans believe it is? Who should be taking it and when? We dove into the research and
