Credit: Unsplash/CC0 Public Domain Women directors on Fortune 500 boards skillfully use tactics that enable them to display warmth, competence or both, allowing them to avoid backlash and meet specific aims, according to new Cornell University ILR School research. These tactics can help women directors achieve aims including diversifying conversations, clarifying perspectives and amplifying their expertise, and help them manage the “double-bind”– expectations for women to express both warmth and competence—to get things done in the boardroom, said Courtney L. McCluney, assistant professor of organizational behavior in the ILR School and second author of the research. “Our study suggests that…

CLIMATEWIRE | The world’s first carbon border fee was always expected to roil nations that export their emissions through polluting goods. Now it could go further than originally proposed. The European Union brought carbon border adjustments into the spotlight last year. Since then, the proposal has gained momentum among legislators who want to expand its scope and ambition and raised discussion among other countries considering similar measures. Across the Atlantic, U.S. lawmakers and industry are keeping a close watch, wary of how it might impact American trade and manufacturing. “There’s a real prospect that Canada, E.U. and U.K. all basically…

To the human eye, layered crystals after osmotic swelling are only visible as unclear, clumped structures. Credit: Chr. Wißler Nanosheets are finely structured two-dimensional materials and have great potential for innovation. They are fixed on top of each other in layered crystals, and must first be separated from each other so that they can be used, for example, to filter gas mixtures or for efficient gas barriers. A research team at the University of Bayreuth has now developed a gentle, environmentally-friendly process for this difficult process of delamination that can even be used on an industrial scale. This is the…

Photography courtesy of Getty Images Here’s why. By Natalie Michie Date June 6, 2022 The defamation lawsuit between ex-spouses Johnny Depp and Amber Heard came to an end on June 1, but the fallout from this case has just begun. The jury found both parties to be guilty of defamation, and awarded Depp $15 million in damages and Heard $2 million. It was a victory for Johnny Depp, but some argue the verdict was a loss for abuse survivors everywhere. To recap: The jury found Heard defamed Depp in a 2018 op-ed for The Washington Post, in which she did…
Jean-Laurent Casanova, head of the St. Giles Laboratory of Human Genetics of Infectious Diseases at the Rockefeller University, has been one of those spearheading the movement. In the same issue of the journal that published Mogensen and Duncan’s findings, Casanova and his colleagues describe a similar genetic variant in seven children with heritage from another remote population: West Polynesians. All of the children were of West Polynesian descent. “We thought that this could hardly be coincidental,” he says. However, this time the mutation was in the gene that codes for IFNAR1, another protein that binds with type I interferons. They decided…

How many oil slicks are there in the ocean? Where are they, and where did they come from? These seem like simple questions, but with 139 million square miles of ocean, keeping an eye on these slippery streaks on the sea surface is no mean feat. Now, however, researchers have used the unique capabilities of satellites to assemble what they say is the first global map of oil slicks. Their results, published on Thursday in Science, suggest that oil covered a total area more than twice the size of France between 2014 and 2019 and that the vast majority came…

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write The Starstrike? I was recovering from some health issues at the time I started writing The Starstrike. Issues I wasn’t expected to face at my age. The idea of a strong heroine who rapidly ages began to manifest and I turned her tale into a new adult book in a sci-fi fantasy world. If you had to pick theme songs for the main characters of The Starstrike, what would they be? Cold’s Remedy, comes to mind for my main character GG5. A lot of what she has to face…
One of my favorite things about movies is how writers and directors can take the every day and use it to give us food for thought. Locked In writer and director Carlos V. Gutierrez hopes to do that with his film. Locked In is not entirely successful, but you’ll be looking over your shoulder the next time you’re in a storage facility. Mena Suvari stars as Maggie, a pious woman raising her 17-year-old daughter, Tarin (Jasper Polish), alone. Maggie’s husband is in prison, which gives the devout character some wiggle room when dealing with seedy individuals and reminds her that…
Ah, the 1980s. The decade of shoulder pads wider than doorways and hairstyles dependent on whole cans of hair spray was not an easy time for minimalists or shy and retiring types. Many people who lived through the extreme fashions of the day recoil in horror now at the thought of them returning. Eighties outfits were all about ultra-conspicuousness and being noticed. From meringue dresses and rah-rah skirts to leg warmers and stilettos, Spandex and lamé to door-knocker earrings and giant sunglasses, this was the era of OTT style, and the ’90s took a sharp about-turn following the visual overload.Now, with time and distance from this…

The star-crossed lovers or forbidden romance trope is always a big draw to me as a romance reader — who doesn’t love all that angst of characters who should be together but are kept apart for Some Big Reason? I also enjoy this trope because while enemies-to-lovers is great, the obstacles of forbidden romance or star-crossed lovers goes beyond the personal dynamics between your protagonist and love interest and usually involves bigger reasons why they shouldn’t — or can’t! — be together.

Editor’s Note: This feature has been updated after originally running ahead of Misfits’ 2016 reunion. With singer Glenn Danzig’s inimitable voice and love affair with countless horror films, the Misfits rose to prominence in the late ‘70s/early ‘80s as one of punk rock’s most explosive acts. But as with any relationship built upon chaos, there were fights — lots of fights. After just two albums, 1982’s Walk Among Us and 1983’s Earth A.D./Wolf’s Blood, Danzig and only consistent member Jerry Only parted ways, but not before establishing themselves as punk rock royalty. Only re-formed the Misfits in 1995 with a new…
