Barnett says the amount of research she and Andrews poured into their relocation project prompted them to start their own travel company, Expatsi, to help other Americans explore their options to move abroad. Launching a travel company for American expatsBarnett and Andrews went back to basics to figure out what city to live in. In March 2024, Barnett and Andrews led a group of 30 Americans around Portugal for 10 days and Spain for 12 on their inaugural Expatsi scouting trip. Americans who dream of moving abroad are getting help from travel companies like Expatsi, which offers scouting trips to international cities. So far, Expatsi travelers have mostly been women ranging in age from 22 to 80 with a cluster around 40 to 65, Barnett says.

However, after a few months, my excitement turned to frustration when I realized my job wasn't going anywhere. When they were around, their conversations were generally irrelevant to my role, and I certainly couldn't afford the expensive bars they frequented. As this was only revealed in the last weeks of my job, it imperiled my plan to leave and feel normal again. I now know that people leave jobs and move around all the time for reasons similar to mine. It should never feel personal to leave a job, nor should anyone have to spend so much time in an environment where they feel unhappy.

Listening to the album's lead single, "Woman's World," I have to assume it's a portal to the past. In the music video for "Woman's World," Perry's visuals are clearly meant to be tongue-in-cheek. Five people are credited as songwriters for "What Makes a Woman," but none overlap with the six writers credited for "Woman's World." She wanted Dr. Luke and all the baggage he brings; all four other songwriters on "Woman's World" are Dr. Luke collaborators or signees.

The new study revealed that fossils of ancient chromosomes survive in this skin sample. But the DNA from elephants was also needed to assemble the mammoth genome. The researchers hope to use the findings to assemble the woolly mammoth genome completely. “This structural information provides insights into functions of the woolly mammoth genome that were invisible using previous genomic methods,” Heintzman said in an email.
