There are so many ways to measure health, success, and general well-being that it can become rather complex to pin down a sense of one's all-around wellness. Now, a team of scientists has refined the idea, summing it up with one simple—but robust—term: "flourishing." Find out more about what it really takes to “flourish," who is actually doing so, and who is languishing behind at the link in bio.

🎥 + 💭: @matthewunderwater The manta rays of Komodo. Nothing quite compares. Watching these gentle giants glide through beams of light is one of the most peaceful experiences a person can have. With wingspans reaching over five meters, they move with quiet ease, effortlessly navigating strong currents. Mantas have no stingers or teeth—and no interest in confrontation. Just grace and serenity. Filmed at Mawan dive site in Komodo National Park, Indonesia. #MarineMonday #Komodo #MantaRays

The Chiesa di Sant’Ignazio is a stunning Baroque church in Rome, built in the 17th century and dedicated to Saint Ignatius of Loyola, founder of the Jesuit order. Initially designed by Carlo Maderno and later completed by Orazio Grassi, the church is best known for Andrea Pozzo’s breathtaking ceiling fresco, which masterfully creates the illusion of a vast dome overhead. Inside, the church dazzles with ornate stucco work, elegant marble altars, and ingenious trompe-l’œil techniques that expand the viewer’s sense of space. A true gem of illusionistic art, Sant’Ignazio stands as one of the finest examples of Jesuit architecture in #Rome. 🎥 @juliaghile.jpg

This summer, the eastern U.S. will be inundated with trillions of Brood XIV periodical cicadas. These large, red-eyed insects emerge from the ground at 13- or 17-year intervals, filling the air with their distinctive buzzing sound. Dubbed "the mother of all 17-year broods," Brood XIV was last seen in the U.S. in 2008, but sightings date back to the Plymouth colony in 1634. Learn more about periodical cicadas and what makes this brood so significant at the link in bio. Photograph by @beckythale
