Diana Rigg, as Emma Peel, wore one. So did Britney Spears and nearly every Catwoman from Julie Newmar to Zoë Kravitz. By turns fetishistic and innocent, futuristic and throwback-worthy, the modern-day catsuit came into being when designer John Sutcliffe introduced the style for bikers in the ‘50s. It went from fun, liberatory garment to slick Barbarella accoutrement fast, and its contradictions have been fascinating fashion ever since.This season has brought us a full-on catsuit resurgence, both on the runway and in celebrity wardrobes. It feels like the perfect marriage of the body-conscious fashion that has ruled recent years and the…

Candida albicans, which is related to Candida auris. Credit: CDC Researchers at McMaster University have unlocked an evolutionary mystery of a deadly pathogen responsible for fueling the superbug crisis: it can reproduce by having sex. And while such fraternizing is infrequent, scientists report it could be producing more drug-resistant and more virulent strains of Candida auris, capable of spreading faster. C. auris is a fungus that can cause severe infections and sometimes death, often striking immunocompromised hospital patients. Unlike animals and plants, microorganisms of this nature usually divide and reproduce asexually, so one produces two, two produce four and so…

The gun safety law forged through tense bipartisan talks in the Senate last month has been heralded as the first federal legislation in 30 years to combat rising gun violence. But what often falls below the radar is the new law’s focus on improving mental health services. News coverage has largely centered on the law’s provisions to enhance background checks for younger buyers, encourage states to implement their own “red flag laws,” and close the “boyfriend loophole.” Less attention has been paid to the mental health programs that most of the estimated $13 billion is earmarked for. “It is kind…

Gaming laptops are an ever expanding breed, especially in 2022 when machines with powerful graphics cards extend far beyond the traditional hefty devices with flashing RGB you may  expect in this field. Oddly, the MSI Katana GF66 sits more firmly in the past, though not necessarily in a bad way. It’s a laptop made for PC gamers who don’t want to splash out for the highest quality of materials and design as well as top-tier performance. As a result, there are a few compromises to accept. And perhaps the hardest to swallow is that, even though the Katana presents itself as…

The news roundup this week is minimal because of the holiday, which is both worth celebrating and worth being wary of. This summer, right-wing groups across the country are planning their fall strategies for censorship, and it is already gearing up to be a season worse than this last school year. Rather than a rundown of the (tiny number of) news stories, here are a few things to think about and prepare for this week.

Astronomers from the University of Warwick reveal a new phenomenon dubbed the “rocking shadow” effect that describes how discs in forming planetary systems are oriented, and how they move around their host star. The effect also gives clues as to how they might evolve with time. Dr Rebecca Nealon presented the new work this week at the 2022 National Astronomy Meeting at the University of Warwick. Stars are born when a large cloud of gas and dust collapses in on itself. The leftover material that doesn’t make it into the star ends up circling around it, not unlike how water…

CLIMATEWIRE | Nearly everything needs to go right for America to reach the climate targets set by President Joe Biden. So far, very little has. The Supreme Court has limited EPA’s authority to craft greenhouse gas regulations for power plants. A major legislative push ended in failure after running into opposition from Sen. Joe Manchin, a conservative Democrat from West Virginia. And the political landscape has been dramatically altered by a runup in energy prices, with gasoline prices briefly averaging $5 per gallon last month. The combination makes it increasingly difficult for the United States to meet the emission targets…

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write This Time Next Summer? I wrote the novel during and immediately after a rough break-up. I suppose people read for pleasure for one eternal reason: to find words that express how they feel. I also suppose that most of the time we spend our entire lives looking, searching, hoping to find words that express what we feel. As a writer, I find myself struggling enormously trying to express the inexpressible. How do I articulate my feelings? How do I tell her she is beautiful without using a word, an…

Everyone complains that there are too many awards shows these days. Well, the 2022 Emmy Nominations show why spreading the wealth is not only a good thing but a necessity. If you didn’t know better, you’d think there are less than 25 programs on the air across all categories and mediums. With over 550 shows to choose from, it’s unreal that the categories are littered with multiple numbers of nominees from the same shows. Yes, Ted Lasso is highly entertaining; but is it so entertaining that they should sweep the supporting actor in a comedy category? With Ted Lasso getting…

While most of us are familiar with type 1 and type 2 diabetes, you may not have come across the term ‘type 3 diabetes’ before. First things first, this is not to be confused with type 3c diabetes, which is something else entirely. It is, however, related to insulin resistance in the brain. Being diagnosed as insulin resistant generally means that someone is either prebiabetic or has type 2 diabetes. But scientists have proposed that it can also result in the brain’s neurons lacking glucose, which is needed for proper function, and this can lead to symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease. While type…

On June 26, the “First Class” musician showed up to the red carpet in Lil Nas X merch following the “Montero” rapper’s nomination snub.
