Indian Head in Lincoln, New Hampshire

September 13, 2021

In 2003, New Hampshire’s most recognizable symbol, the Old Man of the Mountain, collapsed after years and years of intense weathering. Residents were devastated. The Old Man was their state’s mascot. He adorned license plates! State highway markers! He was even on the state coin! Who could ever replace the Old Man? But in the nearby town of Lincoln, a different stone face had been attracting visitors for years. Yes, while not nearly as famous or renowned as his……

September 13, 2021

MIT engineers, in collaboration with scientists at Cancer Research UK Manchester Institute, have developed a new way to grow tiny replicas of the pancreas, using either healthy or cancerous pancreatic cells. Their new models could help researchers develop and test potential drugs for pancreatic cancer, which is currently one of the most difficult types of cancer to treat. Using a specialized gel that mimics the extracellular environment surrounding the pancreas, the researchers were able to grow pancreatic “organoids,” allowing……

As if the Boston startup market needed additional momentum, it appears restaurant software startup Toast will dramatically bolster its valuation in its upcoming IPO.

American Bookbinders Museum in San Francisco, California

September 13, 2021

The first thing many people say when they come into this small San Francisco museum is “I never knew this place existed.” The thing they say on their way out? “I didn’t think it would be this fascinating.” The American Bookbinders Museum tells the story of a familiar object, the book, from its earliest forms (think: scroll or clay tablet) through hand-bound, leather-covered tomes, to the glittering cloth-bound books made by the first industrial machines–many of which are on display. There’s……

September 13, 2021

A spotlight pierces the darkness and reveals swathes of cloth fluttering on a makeshift stage. A model of a ship—flat, made of wood, but with a recognizable silhouette—floats in the center. After the model passes, we see a man and a woman climb a small fragment of the bow of a ship, her arms outstretched as he supports her from behind. An iconic soundtrack blares through the speakers, and the packed house whips into a frenzy. This was nearly……

Ca’ Milesi in Cassiglio, Italy

September 13, 2021

Cassiglio is a tiny village along Val Brembana, in the Bergamo Alps. As of 2017, it was home to just over 100 inhabitants. For years, the overall trend has been downward, as the young seek better prospects in urban areas, and the old die away. Charming as the surroundings may be, this village is quite ordinary, with one solitary exception: Casa Milesi. One side of the house, also known as Ca’ Milesi, is decorated with an eye-catching painting. Seven……

September 13, 2021

This story was originally published in The Guardian and appears here as part of the Climate Desk collaboration. Tuatara—the ancient, slow-moving, “living fossil” reptiles unique to New Zealand—have surprised researchers with their fast-moving sperm. The discovery came amid a new effort by scientists to gather and preserve the sperm of the protected at-risk species, to try to ensure it survives new threats and a warming planet. Tuatara themselves are ponderous creatures, sometimes taking 16 months to hatch, and 35……
