Science has largely neglected pregnancy’s effect on the brain, even though it involves dramatic surges in steroid hormones, which are known to alter the organ. A decade ago neuroscientist Elseline Hoekzema, then a young postdoctoral fellow thinking about having her first child, and two of her female colleagues set out to bridge the knowledge gap. “There’s this enormous event involving such strong hormone changes,” says Hoekzema, now at Amsterdam University Medical Center. “It’s really weird that so little was known about this.” Their initial study, published in 2016, revealed for the first time that pregnancy produced significant structural changes in…

The essay’s strength lies in its bold, bullish copulative sentences that use “is” like an equal sign and land with absolute certainty. “The future of integrated electronics is the future of electronics itself.” Blammo. Some of the prose then sounds like a patriotic newsreel (“No American can have freedom and justice unless there is freedom and justice for all!!”) or like Johnson himself bucking up geopolitical spirits. In the very month that “Cramming” appeared, LBJ declared of Vietnam, “The only path of reasonable men is the path of peaceful settlement.”Then there is the essay’s central claim: “With unit cost falling…
BABYMETAL have shared the new song “Monochrome,” the second single from their forthcoming concept album, THE OTHER ONE, arriving March 24th. “Monochrome” continues the Japanese band’s push into heavier, more extreme territories. Grinding hi-fi riffs separate melodically sung verses, recalling the sonic contrasts of ’90s/’00s alternative metal such as Evanescence and Korn. While there are still elements of the pop-metal sound of yore, BABYMETAL are clearly embracing a darker prog direction with their latest material. This is also reflected in the ambitious sci-fi concept for the THE OTHER ONE: BABYMETAL were “sealed” from the world after a 10-year journey and…

It’s impossible to hide from a female mosquito — she will hunt down any member of the human species by tracking our CO2 exhalations, body heat, and body odor. But some of us are distinct “mosquito magnets” who get more than our fair share of bites. Blood type, blood sugar level, consuming garlic or bananas, being a woman, and being a child are all popular theories for why someone might be a preferred snack. Yet for most of them, there is little credible data, says Leslie Vosshall, head of Rockefeller’s Laboratory of Neurogenetics and Behavior. This is why Vosshall and…

Daredevil: Born Again is taking shape at Disney+. The highly anticipated revival has cast Michael Gandolfini, Deadline reports. Gandolfini is best known for playing young Tony Soprano in the Sopranos prequel movie The Many Saints of Newark. Details remain scarce about Born Again, a revival of the hit Netflix series starring Charlie Cox, so there is no telling who Gandolfini will portray at this stage. Cox played Matt Murdock on the Netflix series, a role he has reprised several times since. Most recently, he suited up as the superhero on She-Hulk: Attorney at Law. Vincent D’Onofrio is also returning as…
Just like humans, wastewater treatment plants can get sick, due to viral attacks. Now, new research from Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, reveals the implications for the surrounding environment in case the plant catches a cold. The efficient running of wastewater treatment plants is an essential part of modern society. In the sewage industry, the ‘work’ of wastewater plants is often executed by microscopic bacteria. Biological processes carried out by these bacteria turn the wastewater into cleaned water that is safe to discharge into the environment. Essentially the bacteria break down the pollutants and purify the water, keeping the plant…
Yesterday, the Palace announced that King Charles III’s coronation would take place on May 6, 2023—coincidentally the 4th birthday of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s first child Archie. At this point, it is unclear whether the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will fly to England to attend the ceremony, although Entertainment Tonight reports they will of course be invited, and King Charles and Camilla, the Queen Consort, want them there.Royal expert Katie Nicholl explained, “Behind the scenes, Camilla has done really everything she can to try and bring this family back together, and press the importance of trying to move…
In 2017, Zink met with Christopher Nolan, director of Inception, Interstellar, and a trio of Batman films. Nolan offhandedly bemoaned how terrible home TV sets made his movies look, and Zink took on the task of improving that situation as something of a personal challenge. The UHDA then reached out to dozens of directors, cinematographers, colorists, and other film industry experts to ask what would make their work look best on people’s TVs. The answer was simple: Turn off all of those post-processing settings.“There’s no real reason not to just switch into Filmmaker Mode, simply because what it really does…
Wilko Johnson, the influential guitarist who spearheaded the United Kingdom’s pub rock scene with Dr. Feelgood, died Monday (November 21) at the age of 75, BBC News reports. Although no cause of death was given, Johnson received a diagnosis of terminal pancreatic cancer in 2013 before making an unlikely recovery, as documented in the 2015 film The Ecstasy of Wilko Johnson.Formed in Essex’s Canvey Island in the early 1970s, Dr. Feelgood played no-frills R&B characterized by Johnson’s playful riffs and juddering guitar stabs. He wrote several songs for their first two albums, 1974’s Down by the Jetty and 1975’s Malpractice,…
1600 film critics were polled for Sight & Sound’s once-a-decade list of the greatest films ever made, and when the votes were counted an experimental Belgian film titled Jeanne Dielman, 23, quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles — not Vertigo or Citizen Kane or Casablanca — was the greatest film ever made.Although long celebrated by critics (obviously) along with scholars and academics as a landmark feminist and avant-garde cinema, it’s easily the most obscure movie to top the Sight & Sound list in 70 years. Odds are, most casual readers who stumble across the Sight & Sound list will have never seen it. Many have likely never even heard of it at all.Jeanne Dielman was…

They’re gonna hold on. Oscar winner Jessica Chastain and two-time nominee Michael Shannon, costars in the 2011 thriller Take Shelter, reunite as country music’s hotheaded hitmaking couple George Jones and Tammy Wynette in the riveting six-episode profile, George & Tammy. “They had one of the most passionate and indestructible loves I’ve ever seen,” says Shannon of the pair, who wed (the third time for each) in 1969, the year after her legendary “Stand by Your Man” was released. “Even after they were divorced [in 1975] and married to other people, they still couldn’t get over each other.” The actor takes…
To make efficient hydrogen energy technology a reality—from generating hydrogen through electrolysis to next-generation chemical fuel cells—scientists need to know exactly how individual hydrogen atoms move through water. A neutral water molecule comprises two hydrogen atoms bonded to a single oxygen atom, the entire structure bending to give the molecule a partially positive side and a partially negative side, like a magnet. If you could zoom in on a glass of water, you would see trillions of such molecules, along with some excess individual hydrogen atoms that have lost their electrons (in other words, just protons). For 200 years researchers…

It’s been two years since the last season of The Mandalorian ended. Granted, since then Mando himself has appeared on — and technically took over — The Book of Boba Fett for a couple of episodes in very early 2022. He appeared so much in Boba Fett, in fact, that almost felt like The Mandalorian Season 2.5.But now the actual, real third season of the show is finally approaching its premiere date. Today, Disney announced that The Mandalorian will return for its third season on Disney+ on March 1. They also showed off a brand-new still from the film which… looks pretty much like every episode of The Mandalorian, with Pedro…
