Photography by Getty Images It’s not as scary as you think! By Annika Lautens Date April 6, 2022 I think we can agree that there was a lot of good and a lot of bad in the early 2000s. Good: everything involving Beyoncé, velvet tracksuits, Jennifer Lopez in that Grammy’s dress. Bad: men in fedoras, invisible eyebrows and beyond toxic body ideals. But the most hotly debated Y2K trend of them all? How to style low-rise jeans. Thanks to designers like Miu Miu, Diesel and Bottega Veneta, and style icons Dua Lipa, Hailey Bieber and Bella Hadid, below the belly…

“Engage” was my preferred mode, and it was still plenty fast. Whisper was more purposefully lethargic, in order to smooth out the accelerating forces, but any half-skilled application of the accelerator pedal in Engage would suffice. Selecting each mode also triggers changes in ambient lighting and, in Whisper, turns off the false engine noise that’s otherwise played throughout the interior.There’s also one-pedal driving, in which lifting your foot off the accelerator pedal slows the car down via regenerative braking. It allows you to do much of your driving without using the brake pedal, although you still need to use it…

“We made a terrible mistake,” says BD Wong’s Dr. Wu in the new Jurassic World: Dominion trailer.Uhhhh, you think? You’re only realizing this now? It took you five movies to figure this out?

In the last ten years, YA books have become exponentially more inclusive when it comes to race, sexuality, and gender. This isn’t to say that there isn’t still room for improvement and growth, and more books that celebrate and explore intersectionality are always welcome — but if you are not white, cis, or straight, there are many more YA books for you in 2022 than there was in 2012. However, one dynamic that YA has yet to explore more deeply is polyamorous relationships in…

Popular culture has historically bolstered the stereotype of the saintly woman as someone who works quietly needing no recognition. She is always ready to offer her all to the people she loves. She shrinks herself for others, waits for everyone else to make decisions for her, and is reluctant to take up space. Saintly women are martyrs and ideal mothers who don’t have even one mean bone in their bodies and are ever tolerant of all the injustices doled out to them. Sometimes…

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Spare Parts? I worked as a janitor in an old hospital that was built into a mountain. During my four year tenure there I listened to stories about how humans swore the place was haunted. I thought, “what if it was” one day and the story just kind of unfolded in front of me. If you had to pick theme songs for the main characters of Spare Parts, what would they be? The Doctor: Vampira by The Misfits. Alessia: Don’t Stop Me Now by Queen. Simon: Enter For (Your…

Credit: Unsplash/CC0 Public Domain Organizational climate is key to managing the flow of proprietary knowledge within an organization and to preventing knowledge spillovers to competitors. Letting knowledge flow within organizational boundaries generates opportunity for learning and innovation. However, if knowledge spills over to competitors, it might erode competitive advantage. A study by Giada Di Stefano (Bocconi University, Milan) and Maria Rita Micheli (IESEG School of Management), published online in advance in Organization Science, finds that employees are more likely to share internally when they work for an organization they feel an integral part of. On the contrary, they would rather pass knowledge to someone working for…

Researchers have identified the gene expression regulation mechanisms that drive the metamorphosis of coral from larvae that float freely in the ocean to sedentary adult reef builder adults. A study describing the researchers’ findings appeared in the journal Zoological Letters on January 25, 2022. The moment that corals metamorphose from free-swimming (planktonic) larvae to sedentary polyps is perhaps the momentous event in this animal’s life, producing a radical and abrupt change in both body structure and behavior. When larvae encounter certain cues or stimuli from an underlying surface (substratum), they stop swimming and rest on the substratum on one end…
