What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write The Frequency – False Flag?

Contestants had to write the first fifteen pages of a script based on a logline: a teenage girl whose home is destroyed and sets out on a journey. I am a big fan of The Wizard of Oz and grew up with family lore of a horrible Easter Sunday tornado that destroyed my great-grandparents’ home in Michigan. I swirled in a dash of…

Talisa Garcia has been cast in Disney+’s Willow series, making history as the first openly trans woman to be cast in a Lucasfilm production.

Skilton observed similar patterns among 45…

It’s February 2020 and the world has yet to be upended by the coronavirus pandemic.

This name is well-chosen, as great white sharks have rows of up…

For many years, scientists have sought to understand what happens when our genes are flipped to the “on” position. Now, scientists at the University of California San Diego and Rutgers University have identified a new protein that contributes to this important process. Inside each of our cells, genes serve as the master copies of information in the six-foot-long molecular chain of instructions known as DNA. In the activation of our genes, an enzyme known as RNA polymerase synthesizes an RNA copy of the DNA in our genes. RNA polymerases in animals were discovered over 50 years ago, and most of…

Ice cores allow climate researchers to look 800,000 years back in time: atmospheric carbon acts as fertilizer, increasing biological production. The mechanism removes carbon from the air and thereby dampens the acceleration in global warming. Even under ice age conditions will plants, plankton, and other life forms be able to increase production whenever atmospheric carbon concentrations rise. The mechanism will not prevent an ongoing trend of global warming, but at least dampen the acceleration. This conclusion stems from an international collaboration involving the Physics of Ice Climate Earth (PICE) center of Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen. “Global biosphere production…

When it comes to finding out your correct bra size, we’ve got you covered with a genius calculator, and when it comes to shopping the best bras, we also know where to go.
