What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Goodbye Never? I wanted to write something that spanned different decades. Something that captured love at different stages of our lives. If you had to pick theme songs for the main characters of Goodbye Never, what would they be? No doubt, Lennon’s theme song would be “Survivor” by Destiny’s Child. Duke could have a whole album, but I’ve settled on: “More than Friends” by Jason Mraz and “Danger Zone” by Kenny Loggins from the Top Gun soundtrack. He’s a helicopter pilot in the Marine Corps, but it still works.…

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Azazel: The Search For Life After Death? I would say my own life inspired this story. I originally finished writing this book back in 2011, when I had a year left to go before I graduated with my B.A. in English. Frustrated at myself, for not knowing what to do with my degree, and for simply listening to people say that a college degree is all that I needed. I was upset at myself because I didn’t have a plan, didn’t know what to do after college, and because…

Scientists at Scripps Research have invented a way to image, across different tissues and with higher precision than ever before, where drugs bind to their targets in the body. The new method could become a routine tool in drug development.

The researchers demonstrated the method with several different experimental drugs, revealing where — even within individual cells — the drug molecules hit their targets. “This method ultimately should allow us,…

The other thing the Evo Lite+ offers is better low-light performance. The Air 2S has a maximum ISO of 6,400 in manual video capture, or 1,600 if you’re shooting D-log. The Evo Lite+ can shoot ISO 48,000, thanks to a dedicated Night Mode. Now, that number might sound like a recipe for noisy, mostly useless video, but surprisingly, it’s not. Autel’s Dark Mode algorithm manages relatively crisp video without scene-ruining levels of noise, even in moonlight. That said, I have never actually flown a drone at night (other than to test this feature), so how useful this is will depend…
In 2021 Republican legislatures in 19 states passed 34 laws that restricted access to voting in more than a dozen different ways. And those are just the bills that succeeded; hundreds of other provisions, some still under consideration, were introduced nationwide. “The momentum around this legislation continues,” the Brennan Center for Justice, which tracks these efforts, wrote on its Web site. At least 165 restrictive voting bills were already on the docket for this year by mid-January. “These early indicators—coupled with the ongoing mobilization around the Big Lie (the same false rhetoric about voter fraud that drove [last] year’s unprecedented…
