Drugs known as puberty blockers have become a first line of intervention for adolescents who identify as transgender. Their use is typically framed as a safe — and reversible — way to buy time to weigh a medical transition. Many doctors and patients consider them lifesaving.

The world’s timekeepers want to ditch the leap second. The traditional method of measuring time (using the Earth’s rotation around the sun) has never quite synced with the more modern method (using atomic vibrations).
