Abortion makes many people uncomfortable. I get it. When I was an ob-gyn resident, I recall telling my supervising physician that I would learn the skills to perform an abortion, but probably wouldn’t provide them after I graduated because doing so made me “a little uncomfortable.” My supervising physician asked me in response, “Do you think women have a right to this procedure?” I thought, “Well … yeah, of course.” With the leaked decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, the Supreme Court has indicated its willingness to place a heavy brick on the scale of the statue of…

Jennifer Garner has had an off-again-on-again relationship with John Miller since 2018, but their pairing doesn’t get much attention compared to her ex-husband Ben Affleck’s renewed engagement to Jennifer Lopez.

A source told US Weekly that Miller is on the same page as Garner explaining, “She loves how little he cares for the limelight or the whole Hollywood scenester stuff… Very different from Ben and J. Lo’s relationship in that way. You’ll…
Previously unknown “zero-day” software vulnerabilities are mysterious and intriguing as a concept.

Two reports this week from the threat intelligence firm Mandiant and Google’s bug hunting team, Project Zero, aim to give insight into the question of exactly how much zero-day exploitation has grown in recent years.Mandiant and Project Zero each have a different scope for the…

The Essex Serpent provides brilliant period costumes but does not live up to expectations with intriguing yet slow premieres. The Essex Serpent Season 1 Episode 1 took a lot of time to set things up, and we quickly got bored. Tom Hiddleston (Loki) and Claire Danes (Homeland) do their best to try and salvage the series, but it falls flat. Claire Danes dons her best British accent, and Tom Hiddleston is as handsome as ever, but neither of them can save the show from itself. Based on the novel of the same name by Sarah Perry, Danes plays Cora, a…
“In high-poverty schools that were remote for more than half of 2021, the loss was about half of a school year’s worth of typical achievement growth,” explained Thomas Kane, who heads up the Center for Education Policy Research at Harvard. Credit: Rose Lincoln/Harvard file photo A new report on pandemic learning loss found that high-poverty schools both spent more weeks in remote instruction during 2020–21 and suffered large losses in achievement when they did so. Districts that remained largely in-person, however, lost relatively little ground. Experts predict the results will foreshadow a widening in measures of the nation’s racial and…

While working to map every cell in the human body, scientists uncovered an elusive type of immune cell that first emerges in the womb. The existence of such cells in humans has been hotly debated — until now.These mysterious cells, known as B-1 cells, were first discovered in mice in the 1980s, according to a 2018 review in The Journal of Immunology. These cells arise early in mouse development, in the womb, and they produce various antibodies when activated.

Like Dracula or a horde of zombies from a cheesy B movie, Mystery Science Theater 3000 has proven impossible to keep down.

Cast member and writer Felicia Day was disappointed when Netflix canceled MST3K in 2019, but had a feeling that creator Joel Hodgson would find a way to resurrect it. “Joel has a lot of pluck, a…

It all began late one night in June 2004, with a small dot swimming into view through the optics of the Kitt Peak National Observatory in the mountains of Arizona. Astronomer Fabrizio Bernardi and two of his colleagues flagged the dot as a possible newly discovered asteroid and confirmed its space-rock status in short order. Initially designated 2004 MN4, the asteroid was intriguing but unremarkable—an object with a width of a few hundred meters (now estimated at 340 meters) about 170 million kilometers from Earth. “It was not particularly interesting at that point,” says Bernardi, now at the Italian space software…
