What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Punish? Almost nothing angers me more than animal abuse. No creature deserves to be mistreated. Because I don’t want to risk my freedom by going after a perpetrator or perpetrators, I decided to rely on fiction. Punish is the first in the three-book thriller series I call Primal Justice. It revolves around a trio of huge grey dogs that do what civilized humans don’t dare. The dogs are ruled by primal justice. There’s a romance in each story which means I put my heroes and heroines through emotional wringers.…
Kate Walsh returns as Dr. Addison Montgomery in the May 5 episode of Grey’s Anatomy, and it’s at a time that some major changes could be heading Grey Sloan’s way.

She told Dr. Nick Marsh (Scott Speedman), “I’m ready to start over. I’m definitely ready. I’m gonna take that offer.” And now it seems that it’s time for Meredith to let her sisters…
Turkeys stand in a barn on turkey farm near Manson, Iowa on Aug. 10, 2015. When cases of bird flu are found on poultry farms officials act quickly to slaughter all the birds in that flock even when it numbers in the millions, but animal welfare groups say their methods are inhumane. Credit: AP Photo/Charlie Neibergall, File The spread of a bird flu that is deadly to poultry raises the grisly question of how farms manage to quickly kill and dispose of millions of chickens and turkeys.

We love a superstar collab, and the past couple of years have given us some great ones, like “Kiss Me More” with Doja Cat and SZA, “Rain on Me” with Ariana Grande and Lady Gaga, and “WAP” with Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion.

The pop singer and rapper linked up for “Sweetest Pie,” a sexy yet playful upbeat track that sees Megan on the verses and Lipa on the chorus and bridge. This marks both artists’ first release of 2022, and…

Netflix’s latest game show is so edgy, I can’t even print its full title on this website.It is called Bulls—: The Game Show and it features game show mainstay Howie Mandel in a series that will apparently award someone $1 million purely on their ability to spew the best bulls—.

It’s sort of hard to get the full mechanics of the game from it, but basically it…
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…
President Biden’s FY 2023 Budget request to Congress includes a request to increase funding to the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), a federal organization that provides funding to libraries and museums in the United States through state sponsoring programs. The request is for $276.8 million, an increase from what is usually less than $250 million and a welcome reprieve from threats to eliminate the IMLS altogether that had been coming from the previous presidential administration. With this increase in funding, the IMLS will be able to continue providing vital sponsorship for programs that support Native American and Native…

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. But what about the best lingerie brands? Lingerie doesn’t just cover bras—we’re talking about knickers, pj sets, bodysuits, robes and bras.

Sarah Vitak: This is Scientific American’s 60-Second Science. I’m Sarah Vitak. Charles Darwin’s famous trip on the HMS Beagle is primarily known for bringing us the concept of evolution. But Darwin also investigated coral reefs and their formation. One thing about reefs in particular really confused him—that conundrum became known as Darwin’s reef paradox. The paradox is this: Voolstra: How can you find this lush, teeming of life in the otherwise, nutrient depleted ocean. Vitak: That’s Dr. Christian Voolstra, a professor at the University of Konstanz in Germany. Voolstra: And the trick is symbiosis. Corals are basically sessile organisms or…

When neuroscientist Jakob Seidlitz took his 15-month-old son to the paediatrician for a check-up last week, he left feeling unsatisfied. There wasn’t anything wrong with his son — the youngster seemed to be developing at a typical pace, according to the height and weight charts the physician used. What Seidlitz felt was missing was an equivalent metric to gauge how his son’s brain was growing. “It is shocking how little biological information doctors have about this critical organ,” says Seidlitz, who is based at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. Soon, he might be able to change that. Working with…
