Credit: University of Tennessee at Knoxville Understanding how birds respond to climate change is a critical area of research that Elizabeth Derryberry, associate professor in the UT Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, and her colleagues are racing to understand, including the increased prevalence and intensity of heat waves.

“I would advise against anything really constricting,” says Fischbach. “You want to get the most comfortable you can be to avoid cramping, swelling, and anything that can affect you later.” Allowing for healthy blood circulation is especially important to avoid deep vein thrombosis (DVT), which occurs when a blood clot forms in a vein, usually in the legs. “It’s very important to be able to move around a bit in your seat—very difficult, I know—and keep your blood flowing,” Fischbach explains. “If you are tall, travel a lot, or are on a long flight, this is extremely important because you…

It is always a delight to see more and more books written by genderqueer and nonbinary authors! Over the years, I’ve definitely seen more of their books out in the wild, especially in SFF.

Nevertheless, those stories are out there, and they’re absolutely worth putting in the hands of more readers. And hopefully, the number…

Archaeology is fundamentally the study of humanity and its past. Archaeologists study things that were created, used or changed by humans. They do this by looking at the material remains that we leave behind, such as stone tools, hut dwellings, skeletons covered with gold jewelry or pyramids that majestically rise from a desert floor. Sometimes, archaeologists study modern societies to shed light on those that flourished in the past, a practice that is sometimes called “ethnoarchaeology.”Archaeology is practiced around the world by archaeologists who work with people from a wide variety of other disciplines to help answer questions about who we…

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write The Chippendale Letter? I have always been interested in American history, especially the 1940s and the war years. Blending in a romantic story, or in this case, two romantic stories, seemed to be a natural fit. In my previous novel, Fate’s Final Destiny, I used America’s history to move the romance along. I doubled down on that approach in The Chippendale Letter by having history provide the background for two separate tales of lost love. The challenge was taking two stories twenty-five years apart and coming together at the…

It was little surprise that developments worked out poorly for the fugitive witches. The big question remaining at the end of Motherland: Fort Salem Season 3 Episode 3 was whether they were better or worse off than before. The problem has been that the Bellweather Trio, especially the two Tarim, weren’t prepared for life on the run. Raelle at least was aware of the Dodger culture in The Cession. But since Mycelium Mom Willa was treating her condition, Raelle was unavailable to offer her perspective.

I like to think of myself as a cyclist, but bikes are incredibly complicated. They have a ton of different parts that move at high speeds and endure lots of stress, and those parts tend to break or squeak. The number of times I’ve boiled over about popped tires and other mechanical issues is too damn high for someone who, you know, gets paid to know these things.This is why I adore the Cowboy 4 ebike. It has no gears, but it does have a built-in phone holder and wireless charger, gorgeous automatic lights, and sleek splash guards. It came…
