We saw the new ant display at the AMNH last summer. It's incredible:
"It was a cold, gray afternoon in December, and at the American Museum of Natural History, a half million leaf-cutter ants were hunkered down in their homes."

'Perhaps his most famous photograph, Peter Magubane’s 1956 image of a Black maid tending to a white girl captured the racial divide in apartheid South Africa.'

"The complex circuitry of the brain above was captured by a new M.R.I. scanner developed at the University of California, Berkeley.
The machine has a resolution 10 times better than its precursors’ and could help researchers examine the processes underlying illnesses like schizophrenia and autism.

'The book that gives us Calvino the romantic and Calvino the craftsman in equal measure is “If on a Winter’s Night a Traveler.” It is the book that makes people fall in love with Calvino, because it is a book about falling in love through reading—specifically, “reading Italo Calvino’s new novel, If on a winter’s night a traveler.”' (Illustration by Daniele Castellano)

"In Ireland, seeking work has often meant moving to England. The early songs of the Pogues documented what awaited there in the early 1980s — a time when it was, to put it mildly, challenging to be Irish in London. Irish people had been portrayed variously as buffoons, insurrectionists and animals in the British media since Victorian times, and ethnic hate and discrimination were prevalent well into the 1980s. The conflation of all Irish with the Irish Republican Army led to miscarriages of justice like the Guildford Four, the Birmingham Six and the Maguire Seven, who were wrongly imprisoned for I.R.A. bombings in the 1970s."
