We think it’s pretty safe to say that fans of Maverick will enjoy this one too.The plot of…
What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write I Guess We’re Heroes? My interest in writing began with tabletop roleplaying games, with my favorites being Dungeons & Dragons, D20 Future, and GURPS. I loved creating vast and detailed worlds for the player characters to interact with, and coming up with contingencies for whatever direction their actions steered the plot. While I usually enjoyed the chaotic nature of the TTRPG format, I sometimes felt a little boxed in with what kinds of stories I could tell, since I only had a loose influence over the actions of the…
Neve Campbell’s tenure as Sidney Prescott is over. After rumors emerged over the weekend that the beloved star declined a return for Scream 6, Campbell is setting the record straight. “Sadly I won’t be making the next Scream film,” Campbell said in a statement, according to Deadline. “As a woman I have had to work extremely hard in my career to establish my value, especially when it comes to Scream,” she added. “I felt the offer that was presented to me did not equate to the value I have brought to the franchise.” “It’s been a very difficult decision to…
The history books say the infamous plague pandemic of the 14th century killed at least half of the population of Europe.

few people, if they drive for a long enough time, can say they’ve never broken down on the side of the road. One day, you might turn the ignition key and nothing will happen, or you’ll hear a pop and a hiss as your tire does its best impression of a sad hot-air balloon.

Motionless in White are a week out from their latest studio album, and they’re now sharing the crushing title track from their upcoming Scoring the End of the World album. And the song features a guest turn from someone who knows a thing or two about scoring, as renowned video game composer Mick Gordon (Doom, Wolfenstein, Prey) lends his talents to the track.Given Motionless in White’s sound and Gordon’s background, this pairing comes up with a song that is supremely epic. A crushingly brutal wall of synths is offset by melodic and at times soaring vocals that uplift and motivate…

Credit: Shutterstock Reproduction is the ultimate goal in life for most animals, but securing a mate is hard work. You must not only find a potential suitor, but hold their attention, identify yourself, and advertise your quality. To achieve this, animals use “sexual signals.” These conspicuous displays or ornaments help beat out the competition in the contest for mates. And some of the most beautiful aspects of the animal world have evolved for this purpose. Sexual signals are costly, though, and not just in terms of the energy it takes to sing or dance. One seemingly obvious and profound cost…

As sessile organisms, plants have to continually adapt their growth and architecture to the ever-changing environment. To do so, plants have evolved distinct molecular mechanisms to sense and respond to the environment and integrate the signals from outside with endogenous developmental programs. New research from Nitzan Shabek’s laboratory at the UC Davis College of Biological Sciences, published in Nature Plants, unravels the underlying mechanism of protein targeting and destruction in a specific plant hormone signaling pathway. “Our lab aims at deciphering sensing mechanisms in plants and understanding how specific enzymes function can be regulated at the molecular levels” said Shabek,…
