Nature at the Rink
As a hockey mom of three, I spend an inordinate amount of time at the rink. This also means that I spend a huge amount of time in the car driving to and from the rink and in arenas watching practices and games. So much time spent in sterile indoor spaces does not sit well with me as an environmental ethicist, a fact that appears to be of little significance to my three teenage children, Inga, Clara, and Carl, all of whom seem to love hockey more with every waking hour. Thus, this season I resolved to...

A professional doctorate for a career beyond academics
Originally posted on - blogs by NPG staff
Frankly, I wasn’t interested in science or medicine to begin with. I wanted to study law and work as a corporate lawyer. But for my Bengali parents, the definition of education was simply “science”. They steered me into science but left me to get as creative as I could with the subject. I prepared to sit in the medical entrance examinations in India but got through dental sciences only. As I was aware of my pathetic practical hand, clubbed with the fear of not performing well (and keeping in mind the general well-being of humanity), I chose not to go ahead with it. Read more

The story behind the story: A billion dots of light
Originally posted on - blogs by NPG staff
This week, Futures is pleased to welcome back Matt Thompson with his story A billion dots of light. A London-based experimental musician, Matt brought us the intriguing story Ded-Mek last year. You can catch up on his other work at his website or by following him on Twitter. Here, Matt reveals what inspired his latest tale — as ever, it pays to read the story first. Read more

SciArt Scribbles: CRISPR and the smell of rain
Originally posted on - blogs by NPG staff
Many scientists embrace the artistic medium to infuse new ideas into their scientific works. With science-art collaborations, both artists and scientists challenge their ways of thinking as well as the process of artistic and scientific inquiry. Can art hold a mirror to science? Can it help frame and answer uncomfortable questions about science: its practice and its impact on society? Do artistic practices inform science? In short, does art aid evidence? Read more

Peep Show
A diesel rattles, gravel crunches, camera shutters click, and a collective breath is inhaled by a group of twenty. Mist hangs over the stalled cars blocking two lanes of traffic near Avalanche Peak. A hush descends on all of us idling in our vehicles and on those standing outside daring to get too close to an animal that is trying to cross the road. The animal is silent save a random snort after lifting his head in the air to catch a scent laden with vehicle exhaust. The bulk of his body makes little noise in the drying grass that...

Gifts and Omens from the Polar Vortex
The publisher of my memoir thinks comparing my sister to a garbage-eating corvid needs a few anecdotes to support such harsh phrasing. I concede the point.
When the 2019 Polar Vortex was on its way to Chicago at the end of January, I decided to spend the deep freeze at home, writing about my strange and estranged sister. I opened my MacBook to get started the day before the weather-forced hibernation. But brain cells holding certain memories seemed to have been snatched from my frontal lobe. Perhaps it was the spirit of that plucky crow-sister, disguising herself as my own cognitive decline,...

A Fascination with Pigeons
Editor’s note
Photographer Arthur Ruffino recently reached out to the Center for Humans and Nature to share some of his many pigeon photographs with us. His timing was impeccable. His email arrived as we were readying a blog post this week by Elisa Shoenberger that discusses her childhood fascination with urban pigeons. We’re pleased to share a gallery of Arthur’s images this week as a compliment to Elisa’s piece, and also as a testimony to pigeons’ appeal to people from around the globe.
We asked Arthur about his fascination with pigeons. The following is his response:
In regard to my interest...
