Gracious Servanthood in Downton Abbey

Last updated on: January 15, 2013 at 1:08 pm By Geoffrey Reiter

One of the latest fads to cross the pond from England to America is Downton Abbey, the brainchild of Gosford Park creator Sir Julian Fellowes. The show, whose third season premiered for American audiences this month, follows the affairs of the British aristocratic Crawley family, while also keeping up with the lives of their various paid servants “downstairs.” The first season began with the sinking of the Titanic in 1912, but the show has already reached 1920 by now,...

The New Androgyny

Last updated on: January 15, 2013 at 12:49 pm By Lauren Rambo

Your teenage son comes to you wanting to wear a skirt. You momentarily panic, an understandable reaction from someone who wants to raise their son in godliness and also preemptively shield him from ridicule. After all, you were only mildly horrified when he painted his nails midnight blue, which you reasoned was a “manly” color and remembered many of your favorite musicians went through a makeup and nail polish stage. But a skirt? Sure, you admired Kanye’s Givenchy leather number... Read more

In Which Jodie Foster Feels All The Things

Last updated on: January 14, 2013 at 10:15 pm By D.L. Mayfield

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=efYg0vQyPGA Sunday night I watched the Golden Globes. I could tell I was in a fragile place of life, because I got in my pajamas, grabbed a bag of M&Ms, and for several hours, watched a bunch of celebrities pretend to be shy and grateful and embarrassed to be awarded for their work. I could tell that I was trying to escape some very pressing realities, because I ate up every minute of it, every awkward close-up, every sore loser... Read more

Giddy over Gaiman’s Chu’s Day

Last updated on: January 11, 2013 at 8:08 am By Erin Wyble Newcomb

It arrived in the mail yesterday, the plain brown cardboard disguising the school-bus-yellow book jacket underneath. On the cover, an adorably goofy panda with aviator goggles and, emblazoned in bold text, the names of two of my favorite authors: Neil Gaiman and Adam Rex. A preschooler’s book written by Gaiman (whose entire corpus I love) and illustrated by Rex (whose talents are best displayed in the charmingly silly and unexpectedly profound The True Meaning of Smekday). This is gonna be... Read more

Did we find the “Human” gene? A Critical take on a classic idea of genetics

Last updated on: January 10, 2013 at 6:43 pm By Christopher Hutton

One of the biggest questions connected to the study of biology is that of whether man is unique from apes. If we look at our genetic structure, we find that there are an astounding number of genetical similarities between humans and their genetical relatives. It creates a notion that man and ape are actually physically the same species. That’s where miR-941 comes in. This is a gene recently discovered in mankind that gives them a distinctness apart from apes. From Medical... Read more
