Rivers across England have seen a significant improvement in river invertebrate biodiversity since 1989, shows a study led by UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology (UKCEH) researchers. The study, which involved one of the largest and most wide-ranging analyses of long-term monitoring data in the world – spanning over 30 years, found improvements in invertebrate biodiversity across all regions and river types in England. This improvement is all the more surprising given English rivers are amongst the most highly exposed to wastewater and other pressures in Europe.

This feeling of unease and existential panic can be extremely unnerving – and entirely justified in the current work landscape. But there's reason to take a breath: as this technology finds its way into the mainstream and continues to evolve, experts say these worries don't have to take over. Shoss says one of the best ways to handle identity-driven anxiety is to demystify the unknown. In ongoing research, she says, 'we've found that people who tend to read more and try to learn more and develop more skills around the technology are a little bit less anxious about the impact of robots and AI in the workplace'.

There's no two ways about it: technology has dramatically reshaped daily life, in just about every area — our finances and the way we handle money, most definitely included. Over the last decade, for instance, there have been significant changes in the way we send money across borders and how we make remittances from one person to another. Additionally, the effects of the post-pandemic era — including macroeconomic trends like migration and labor mobility — have likewise caused noticeable shifts in the business of cross-border payments.
