What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write The Cursebound Thief? I was drawn into the heist genre by Heist Society by Ally Carter, and my love was cemented by Leigh Bardugo’s Six of Crows duology. The unlikely friendships, the magic, the deception, the time jumps… so well executed and so entertaining. I wanted to bring that sense of wonderment into more contemporary settings―Vegas to Florida to New England―with immediately relatable characters. If you had to pick theme songs for the main characters of The Cursebound Thief, what would they be? Jerek – Carry On by fun.…

Photography by Getty Images “Is this a dress or a top?” By Annika Lautens Date August 11, 2022 Let me clarify: At 5’11”, I know I’m tall. You know I’m tall. So I don’t need you to tell me I’m tall. It doesn’t matter whether I’m meeting a Bumble date or a new colleague, for some peculiar reason, people feel the need to verbally acknowledge my height as if I’ve got something in my teeth and haven’t noticed.

America’s Test Kitchen has a huge archive of excellent, tested recipes, and it frequently cherry-picks from them to make specialized cookbooks.

(Right) In the proposed model, HSCs and progenitors are generated independently from pre-hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell (pre-HSPC) populations.

This view assumes that the relationship between HSCs and descendant progenitors is conserved from embryo to adult. Using lineage tracing and HSC-depleted mutant mice, a research collaboration based in Kumamoto University, Japan…
