I feel like Pixar’s Elio got a little bit of a bad rap. It did not perform well at the box office, and articles in the trades at the time of its initial release detailed its “catastrophic” journey to theaters, including the departure of one director and heavy rewrites of the film’s storyline and characters.I never saw the original concept for Elio. Maybe it would have been a masterpiece that would put the version released to theaters to shame. But … I quite enjoyed the Elio we got. It was a sweet and charming movie about a lonely orphan who discovers the community he’s always wanted among…

The tropical vlei rat has fur that shimmers with iridescent huesJessica Leigh Dobson More than a dozen mammal species shimmer and glint purple and green, like precious opals. Their fur is iridescent, meaning its colour appears to change depending on the animal’s orientation relative to the viewer. The effect is similar to an oil slick’s colourful sheen, or the metallic dazzle of hummingbird feathers – and it’s more common among mammals than biologists thought. Jessica Leigh Dobson at Ghent University in Belgium was studying colour in mammals using specimens at the Royal Museum for Central Africa, also in Belgium, when…
