Each cell has a preference – a “handedness,” they call it, and that may make a difference in cell repair, in cancer, and in survival. “Ramsdell and a cadre of other developmental biologists are trying to unravel why the organisms can tell their right from left. It’s a complex process, but the key orchestrators of the handedness of life are beginning to come into clearer focus.”

Shia LaBeouf’s ‘He Will Not Divide Us’ Has Found A New Home
The piece, a live-streaming art protest by by Shia LaBeouf, Nastja Säde Rönkkö, and Luke Turner, was shut down at the Museum of the Moving Image in New York last week even though it was supposed to stay up for as long as the current officeholder is president. But “the project has found a new home at the El Rey Theater in Albuquerque, New Mexico.”
Clyde Stubblefield, Drummer To James Brown And Famed Solo Performer On ‘Funky Drummer,’ Dies At 73
“Stubblefield saw ‘very little’ in royalties and never expected them. But Stubblefield was held in high esteem by his fellow musicians. When Prince got wind in 2000 that Stubblefield was deep in debt after fighting bladder cancer, he personally paid $90,000 to cover his bills.”
Poetry Is In Desperate Need Of A Revolution
Or really, more than one revolution – and constant revolutions: “Art isn’t easy. It’s not just that we need a revolution in style but also a revolution in audience, distribution, circulation, performance, perception and, indeed, motivation. These revolutions are never a question of being marked as ahead of the times. … Rather, the issue is staying in and with the times and not letting the times drown you.”
Moving A 12,000-Pound Civil War Diorama Into A Rightful Place In History
The 19th-century painting has been feted by both North and South over the decades since it was painted. “”It’s one of our greatest Civil War artifacts in what it can teach us about what Americans have remembered and disremembered about the Civil War,’ Gordon Jones, senior military historian at the Atlanta History Center and co-leader of the cyclorama move and restoration team, told Hyperallergic.”
Artist Saloua Raouda Choucair, One Of The First Abstract Artists In Arab Art, Has Died At 100
Her story is compelling, and her art came to London and New York with the power to change the accepted story of art history. “It was not until she was in her 90s that Ms. Choucair, who lived and worked nearly all her life in Beirut, gained recognition outside Lebanon as an unsung hero of the modernist story, a distinctive, eloquent artist relegated to the margins of a traditionally Western narrative.”
Canada Starts To Recognize Its Indigenous Women Artists, But There’s Much More To Be Done
One current show has an intentionally provocative name because “‘It’s really a colonial idea that our women didn’t carve. Our women have always carved,’ said Lou-ann Neel, the carver’s granddaughter and an advising curator for the exhibition. ‘I’ve already heard a few people say, ‘Well, you know, our grandmother was also a carver.’ Good, I want to hear about her. Let’s talk about her, too. Because all of our communities need these role models to come from the last couple of generations and encourage our young girls and women to pursue the arts, too.'”
Movies Have The Power To Change Minds, And Real Lives
Civil Rights leader Vernon E. Jordan Jr.: “Division has always been a product of assumption — assuming that our story is the only story, or that our lives are harder than someone else’s, or that people who don’t look like us don’t have the right to live and work for the American dream. But no matter how divisive life in this country may become, the movie theater has always been a place where we can rediscover what unites us.”
Music Is One Of The Last Places Where Mentorship Is Sorely Needed, And Sometimes Sorely Lacking
A conductor who had Michael Tilson Thomas as a mentor for years says, “If I don’t mentor folks and get involved with them, then who’s going to care for the next generation? In my mind, a mentor is someone who can actually serve as a role model for what a great person or a great musician might be, and that’s where you’re going to get folks hopefully emulating and striving to do that kind of work. … Those are the kinds of musicians you want around.”
How To Shoot A Documentary About An All-Women Racing Team In Palestine
Canadian filmmaker Amber Fares: “There are so many films that deal with the politics of Palestine/Israel, but we didn’t want to get into the details of that; it just plays out naturally through their lives. It’s politically important that we see more diversity in our media, full stop.”
