This article focuses on unpublished and published materials in the archive of Ernst Akiba Simon (1899–1988) at the National Library of Israel to discuss the émigré scholar's writing on Heinrich Heine. The article asks, if and how the archive can help to understand Simon's way of reading and writing. His work on Heine is part of a larger cluster of interconnected texts on literary and political, contemporary as well historical topics. The digital reproduction of Simon's archive allows to trace these intertextual, dialogic characteristics of Simon's writing and to explore them as manifestations of his thoughts on Jewish belonging.

A recent study from Maastricht University revealed that individuals' brains respond differently to microdoses of LSD, potentially explaining the mixed results in previous research. The study involved 47 healthy volunteers who received either microdoses of LSD or a placebo, showing that microdosing had both positive effects on brain arousal and auditory tests, but also negative impacts on visual learning processes. Additionally, a meta-analysis by Paul Siegel and Bradley S. Peterson found that unconscious exposure therapy can effectively reduce fear responses. Lastly, a multinational team discovered that while reflectiveness and socio-emotional awareness are universally acknowledged as key features of wisdom, there are cultural variations in the traits associated with wisdom.

A recent study conducted by researchers at the University of Montpellier in France has provided new insights into the taxonomy and evolutionary history of peradectids, a group of Paleogene 'opossum-like' stem-metatherians. The study involved the examination of well-preserved specimens from various French localities, leading to the identification of a new species called Peradectes crocheti sp. nov. The research also revealed the existence of two coeval species, Peradectes louisi and Peradectes russelli. The findings suggest a single dispersal event from North America to Europe in the evolutionary history of peradectids, occurring after the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum. Additionally, the study observed a trend towards shrinking of the entoconid in the European lineage throughout the early Eocene. This research has been peer-reviewed and published in the Journal of Mammalian Evolution. [Extracted from the article]
