Festival of knowledge to come to Scottish capital
A series of talks and workshops on health, the creative arts and video games will be held during a festival on knowledge in September. A myriad of issues – including personal data, the use of Scots language, future cities and a range of other social topics – will be discussed during the Royal Society of Edinburgh's (RSE) Curious Festival of Knowledge. Held from September 6-14, one of the free festival's highlights is a talk on Scotland's colonial past, led by PhD student Ash Charlton, who was recently a project researcher with the University of Edinburgh's anatomical museum. The talk, titled Taken, studied, displayed: readdressing the University of Edinburgh's African skull collections – will explore a recent project to research and improve documentation of the museum's skull collections as a basis for future repatriation requests. Ms Charlton said: 'This event will share the stories of the individuals whose skulls are in the collection, where they came from and how they became part of the museum's collection. 'Unfortunately, very little is known about most of these individuals through historic erasure and lack of documentation, although through this talk I will discuss some of the few cases we know more about. 'Conversely a lot more is known about the 'donors' who presented these human remains to the university. Medical students, doctors, religious missionaries, geologists and botanists were all responsible for contributing to the growing anatomy collections.' Also featuring at the festival is Play for Good, a video game exhibition on how they can help with health, wellbeing and social inclusion. Event organiser Dr Andrew Reid, of Abertay University and member of the Young Academy of Scotland, said: 'Simply put, designing games for good means thinking about how games can provide a positive outcome to various social or cultural environments. 'We've got a couple of projects here that are showing games to promote physical activity by using your body as an input, all the way through to exploring mental health as a topic. 'These are generally spaces that are quite difficult to deal with in any given context, but within games we create a safe space to explore some very challenging issues and very challenging conversations.' While many of the Curious events are held within the RSE, this year's programme also features an interactive walking tour around Edinburgh's Greyfriars Kirkyard. Led by Daria Tuhtar, the tour will explore the unique and intricate language of symbols and metaphors that many of the monuments in Greyfriars are decorated with, and how people's attitudes towards death have changed with the passage of time. The tour will uncover how ideas of death, immortality and resurrection coalesce in one of the most striking locations that Edinburgh boasts. Royal Society of Edinburgh general secretary professor Jo Shaw said: 'Today we announce the programme of the RSE's Curious festival. 'Curious is an opportunity to throw open the door to the RSE, Scotland's National Academy. We're bringing together some of Scotland's leading thinkers, covering a broad range of topics – from video games to UFOs – and starting important conversations around big ideas. 'Everyone is welcome, and you don't need any prior knowledge to take part and learn something new. Most importantly, every event is free. Just bring yourself and your curiosity.'

Justin Timberlake calls himself Travis Kelce's 'backup dancer' as they show off dance moves on the golf course
Travis Kelce, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end known for his lively touchdown dances on the football field, showed off those same moves on the golf course this week. He was joined by pop star Justin Timberlake and comedian Andrew Santino at the 2025 8AM Golf Invitational in Las Vegas. The three had fans laughing with an unexpected dance party, proving a golf tournament can be just as fun as a Super Bowl celebration. A Dance Moment Goes Viral On 30 April, Kelce shared a video on his Instagram Stories that quickly went viral online. The clip, first posted by Timberlake, shows Kelce dancing to the 1984 song "Curious" by Midnight Star, using a golf club as a microphone. With Timberlake and Santino beside him, Kelce moves side to side, spins, and even skips around, all while laughing and enjoying the moment. Kelce wrote with the video, "Vibin out with the homies @cheetosantino @justintimberlake I didn't know how to end it." Timberlake joked in his caption, "We are just @killatrav's backup dancers now," using Kelce's Instagram name. Timberlake also mentioned his golf brand, 8AM Golf, celebrating the fun spirit of the event. Andrew Santino added a joke in the comments, saying, "The tequila had me leaning." Kelce replied, "The vibes were unmatched!!" It was clear the three friends, and everyone watching, were having a brilliant time. Behind the Scenes at the 8AM Golf Invitational Justin Timberlake's 8AM Golf Invitational is known for bringing celebrities from sports and entertainment together for a weekend of friendly competition and fun.

Taylor Swift fans worry about singer's whereabouts after Travis Kelce spotted without her once again
Travis Kelce was spotted in New York City wearing a very Taylor Swift -esque outfit earlier today. And yet Swift herself was noticeably absent from the pictures. In fact, fans have taken notice that - aside from a quick clip of the couple enjoying a date night in Utah in March - Swift hasn't been photographed with Kelce, both 35, in a while. The latest snaps of the Kansas City Chiefs star - donning a white sweater and slacks - were taken as he strolled through the streets of NYC. While it appears that Kelce was somewhere in the neighborhood of Swift's Tribeca residence, the country star was nowhere to be found. But this isn't the first time that he has been spotted going solo in recent weeks. Kelce was making headlines just a few days ago thanks to his 'boys trip' to Las Vegas to take part in Justin Timberlake's 2025 8AM Golf Invitational. Timberlake posted a now-viral video of him and Kelce dancing and singing into their golf clubs on Instagram - all set to Midnight Star's 1984 song 'Curious.' Taylor Swift fans have been flocking to social media to demand answers on where the singer might be When asked about his trip - which also featured his brother, Jason Kelce - he said that he 'always feels at home' in Vegas. And while everyone needs a little getaway, Swifties (and everyone else who's used the hashtag 'Tayvis') have been flocking to social media to demand answers on where Swift might be. Some users on X, formerly Twitter, have been making simple 'where is Taylor Swift?' posts with others opting for a more frantic, 'where in the world is Taylor Swift?' A few fans are even tweeting out their own theories including one who wrote, 'My delulu a** is telling me that since no-one seems to know where on earth Taylor Swift is right now, she's been hiding in Sydney and is going to pop up at Gracie Abram's Sydney show tonight to sing "us" and then announce Rep TV while she's at it.' All of this worry for Taylor also comes coupled with speculation that the couple may have called it quits. One worried X user tweeted, 'Wait did Taylor and Travis break up?' But others are defending the couple's relationship and encouraging others to stop sounding the alarm. One fan tweeted, 'I want y'all to get ready for this weekend where we might see Travis without Taylor. THEY'RE FINE and they love each other. But others are defending the couple's relationship and encouraging others to stop sounding the alarm 'It's totally normal for them to enjoy things separately, it doesn't mean anything. Thank you.' Sources close to the couple have also told Page Six that their relationship is still going strong. 'They're still so in love and enjoying spending time with their friends and each other during the offseason,' the outlet reported. 'There's no trouble at all.' As of right now, there are no reports on whether Swift will be at the upcoming 2025 Met Gala or not - especially as she's been absent the past few years due to scheduling conflicts with tours. So fans will just have to see what next public outing - whether it's a red carpet or lowkey dinner date - they see their favorite couple at.

Travis Kelce Makes Rare Public Appearance in the Streets of New York City for Photo Shoot
