The 85-year-old Canadian writer’s ouvré includes everything from 17 novels to 19 poetry books and a few graphic novels, but this is her first memoir. Part of the reason she hadn’t written one before now was because she thought it would be boring, but her publishers brought her around to the idea. In an interview with British Vogue, she explains her timing for writing the memoir, saying, “My publishers made me do it.” “I sweated blood over…

The pandemic may have changed people’s outlook on lifeDisobeyArt / Alamy The covid-19 pandemic gave older people in England a stronger sense of purpose and greater life satisfaction, possibly because it deepened their appreciation for the simple things in life. We already knew that some people’s well-being and life satisfaction dipped during the early years of the pandemic, but what happened later on, after most restrictions had been lifted, is less well understood. “Unfortunately, most of the studies that were carried out did not continue [in the later years of] the pandemic, so there was a big gap in the…
Critic’s Rating: 4.1 / 5.04.1For Valentine’s Day, The Rookie Season 7 Episode 6 wanted to deliver, and they wasted no time with their developments for many of the coveted characters.

Credit: Rene Martin New research by scientists at the American Museum of Natural History and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln reports, for the first time, the widespread occurrence of biofluorescence in birds-of-paradise. The study, based on Museum specimens collected since the 1800s, finds biofluorescence in 37 of the 45 known birds-of-paradise species and suggests that this special “glow” is important among males for hierarchy and mating displays. The research is published today in the journal Royal Society Open Science. “The unique mating rituals and…

A super-Earth has been confirmed in the habitable zone of a nearby star, raising possibilities for future studies on potentially life-supporting planets.

Initially detected two years ago, the planet, named HD 20794 d, is situated 20 light years from Earth and has a mass six times that of Earth. Scientists suggest its orbit places it at an optimal distance from its star to sustain liquid water, a key factor for habitability.Observational Data Confirms Planet’s ExistenceAccording to a study published in Astronomy &…

Critic’s Rating: 4 / 5.04Hunting violent serial killers as an established team is challenging enough. The Hunting Party is attempting this with a team that was thrown together. This could make or break the series since team dynamics and chemistry are the main pull. Two cliffhangers were dropped at the end of The Hunting Party Season 1 Episode 1. Jacob Hassani revealed a long list of violent criminals their team had to find and capture, and Oliver Odell (Nick Wechsler) hinted that the prison break wasn’t an accident. That’s a lot for Bex to process and enough for her to…

Artist’s impression of an asteroid nearing the moonNASA/JPL-Caltech Asteroid 2024 YR4 is on a potential crash course with Earth, but there’s a very slight chance the moon could take the hit. Based on current observations, there is a 2.1 per cent chance that the asteroid – about as long as the Leaning Tower of Pisa is tall – will crash into our planet on 22 December 2032. Although it is very likely to miss, a direct strike on a populated area would be catastrophic. But if it is in fact heading directly our way, new calculations show that there… View…
