It was 2014 and Marquer was a junior at the University of Wyoming, a baby-faced Eagle Scout from Cheyenne who’d become a fixture in Laramie’s college-town punk scene.

My skin looked greasy, congested and frankly, the most unhealthy it had ever been.After explaining the thought process behind my moisturiser switch-up to every skin expert who would listen, I was informed that things aren’t quite that simple (a tidbit of wisdom that, I have come to learn, rings true in just about every faction of skincare). While skin hydration is paramount, that’s not to say every skin type needs thick moisturiser every single day. Hydration,…

Antarctic krill form the biggest biomass swarms on Earth. “You can even see them from space,” says Alicia Burns, a behavioral biologist at Taronga Conservation Society Australia.

But Burns and her colleagues describe in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B that unique and mathematically predictable social rules govern the seemingly chaotic crustacean crowds. To observe swarming behavior, the researchers teamed up with the Australian…

Last year, like many new parents, I was walking the extreme tightrope of keeping my young child healthy and happy. When my daughter left the stages of infancy into becoming a much more aware toddler, I decided that it was high time to put her in preschool. It was better than her staring at the same four walls of the living room while I contemplated the health risks over and over. After a few internet searches and some phone calls, I chose one that was close and had spots open (which was pretty hard to obtain). When I started the…

We were searching for rocks that we hoped would contain clues to the darkest chapter in our planet’s history.
