Why Claire Danes's Face Matters In addition to facilitating subtle emotional expressions on screen, allowing our faces to age naturally increases our ability to experience our own and others' emotions.

Institute panel discusses community, honesty in media β€œJournalism is an incredibly hard profession. I embrace people when they decide to come in because journalism is like long-term unrequited love. It will never love you as much as you love it,” Lynette...

Why Scholars Should Take Their Show On the Road To ensure that informed and nuanced perspectives are part of public dialogue, academics need to hone their persuasive communication skills.

some thoughts, with folk like Barry Lam, Ethan Kross, Lisa Feldman Barrett, Michele Tugade, and Dave DeSteno in mind!

I haven't even started the interview part yet, but @marcmaron.bsky.social's breathless and hilarious rant about locking his keys in his car is one of the best antidotes to anxiety in these times I've heard..."I have control over nothing, but sometimes, there's ice cream." Amen brother.

BOMB Magazine | David Greenwood by Kate Reed Petty The debut novelist on work, the search for inner life, and the last days of enchantment.

great interview w/my brother: "With his signature precise, erudite sentences, he brings humor and lightness to otherwise bleak portraits of what it means to be a person. He’s a tightrope walker crossing a chasm of loneliness, doing cartwheels." @bombmag.bsky.social bombmagazine.org/articles/202...
