The author (left) joined her friend on a trip to St. Croix this past summer. This summer, my best friend said she was planning to celebrate her mom's birthday by taking a trip to St. Croix. She asked if I wanted to join them, but I paused. At first, I was unsure. A tropical trip just for us girls did sound great, but it would mean returning a week before school started for my two kids. Looking at my to-do list, it would've been easy to say no, but something in me told me not to miss out on this chance to go to paradise. So I agreed to my first girls' trip since becoming a mom, 13 years ago. I had to act fastI was prepping for back-to-school shopping, and money felt kinda tight. I bought an airline ticket immediately after talking to my friend. I knew if I hesitated, I would end up wimping out. Timing was on my side. The dates lined up so that my kids would be having fun in Cancun and Cozumel with my ex, while I would be spending four incredible days on a Caribbean island.

HOK has revealed the design for the Western Bioconvergence Centre, a 383,000-sq.-ft. (35,580 sq. m.) research and education building at Western University in London, Ontario, Canada. HOK is designing the project with architects Tillmann Ruth Robinson. The Centre will be purpose-built to explore an emerging frontier that integrates biology with engineering, computational sciences and advanced technologies, such as AI, to accelerate commercialization of real-world interventions and treatments. Researchers across disciplines will work side by side with industry partners in integrated labs to better understand what drives disease. Together, they will be able to move faster to develop advanced biotherapeutics—tailored therapies harnessing the body’s natural ability to fight disease. Sited at the core of Western’s science precinct, the building acts as a centre of gravity for the sciences on campus, linking the Medical Science Building to the west, Taylor Library to the north and the Biological and Geological Sciences Building to the east. Two atria organize the plan.

Mental health in Spain has never been talked about so much. Anxiety, depression, stress, eating disorders and emotional wellbeing have moved from often remaining hidden in the private sphere to becoming topics in family conversations, institutional campaigns, the media and social networks. The silence has been broken. The question now is what happens next, when someone decides to ask for help. Spain has around six clinical psychologists for every 100,000 inhabitants, a figure still far from the European average of about 18 professionals. This shortage has direct consequences for care: waiting lists, appointments spaced weeks or months apart, and difficulties providing the continuity needed for effective psychological treatment. This risks entrenching a two-tier mental healthcare system. Those with the means can turn to a private psychologist and be seen every week or fortnight. By contrast, people who rely solely on the public system may face much longer waits. The question is hard to avoid: is psychological care becoming a luxury reserved for those who can afford it?
