Amy Poehler and Maya Hawke voice Joy and Anxiety, respectively, in Disney and Pixar's "Inside Out 2." One of the standout additions is Anxiety, a quirky orange character voiced by Maya Hawke. 'The way psychologists see anxiety is as a protective emotion'Originally, the character was animated to look more like a "villain," Damour says. "Irrational anxiety is when you overestimate the threat and underestimate your ability to do anything about it," Damour says. Damour hopes "Inside Out 2" communicates that anxiety can be a tool as much as it can be a nuisance.

Last weekend, "Inside Out 2" scored the second biggest box office release for any animated movie. In it, Riley Anderson, a 13-year-old girl, grapples with the discomfort of becoming a teenager. Animated as a moody, purple being with bangs, it is the feeling of being both tired and bored. Lisa Damour, a psychologist who worked on "Inside Out 2," says ennui is a coping mechanism for teens. While this emotion is more consuming as a teenager, it can play a role in the lives of young adults who are transitioning from school into the workforce.

Zero Carbon Farms grows herbs and salads in Clapham, south London, a densely populated area with no room for conventional agriculture. But 30 metres below ground there is a kilometre of tunnels, and technology has made farming here a reality. "What makes this industry so exciting and challenging is that no one's quite cracked it," said Zero Carbon Farm's business development director Olivia O'Brien.
