Steampunk gears up for a broader audience Those who watched Doctor Who’s season premiere this August were confronted with something strange—and it wasn’t just the striking new Doctor, Peter Capaldi. The episode, “Deep Breath,” was set in Victorian England…but there were robots. And not futuristic-looking robots, either—ones full of gears, pistons, and other old-fashioned mechanisms, the sort of technology that actually existed in the 1800s. As a sensibility, steampunk—a word that evokes old-timey aviator goggles, brass machinery, and, of course, steam engines—is nothing new. Although it’s bled over into everything from film and TV to fashion and music, steampunk is primarily a literary genre. The Bullet-Catcher’s Daughter, written by Rod Duncan, came out on August 26. The Victorian Era may have been a romantic age, but it was also rife with injustice—and those societal problems (sexism, racism, economic disparity) are part of the reason the genre has never really appealed to a wider crowd.
Fake Science - A less-than-factual guide to our amazing world Guia dos Quadrinhos - Todas as HQs publicadas no Brasil, num só lugar! The Homo Bonobo Project The Homo Bonobo Project is a multimedia presentation by the globe-trotting Belgian primatologist Dr. Ghislaine Pussait, as played by her creator Shelly Mars, AKA the “after-hours Lily Tomlin.” Inspired by the classic performance works of Jane Goodall, Al Gore, and the Pink Panther’s Inspector Clouseau, the show weaves themes of sexuality, love, and violence into a genuinely educational evening about our gentle jungle cousins, the bonobos. Starting in 2006, Mars began an intensive study of the bonobo apes, the most endangered and least known of the Great Apes. The bonobos have been recently featured in pop culture and the press as “the make-love-not-war apes,” or “the hippie chimps,” because of their nonviolent nature, pansexuality, and matriarchal social structure. Graceful, charming, intelligent—and tragic—bonobos bear a striking resemblance to humans, and are our closest relatives, sharing 99.5% of our DNA.

Back to the Future Origem: Wikipédia, a enciclopédia livre. Zemeckis e Gale escreveram um roteiro depois de Gale ter se perguntado se ele teria ficado amigo de seu pai se tivessem estudado juntos no colégio.

The Imaginary Monsters of U.S. Cities Sure, the sticks have Sasquatch and the Jackalope. But what creepy cryptids lurk in thriving American cities? If you want to catch a cryptid doing its thing in America, common sense would deem you drive far out into the woods where humankind rarely ventures. After all, it's typically hunters and hikers who wind up having awkward run-ins with Bigfoot or the Flatwoods monster. But city dwellers who want a taste of the supernatural ought not to despair.

Life at The Limits: Showcasing Nature’s Weirdest Adaptations “You might think of them as nature’s very own superheroes,” AMNH president Ellen V. Futter said at a press preview of the exhibition, entitled Life at the Limits: Stories of Amazing Species, which will be open from April 4 until January 3, 2016. She also called the featured species “ambassadors of the great story of evolution.” Waterfall climbing cave fish. “This exhibition really examines the power of natural selection and the amazing ways it has shaped the kinds of lifestyles that we show,” added AMNH paleontologist Michael Novacek, who led a discussion with the exhibition’s two curators, parasitologist Mark Siddall and ichthyologist John Sparks. Indeed, the sheer diversity of lifeforms featured in the special exhibition is overwhelming. Indeed, the tardigrade—or the water bear, as it is colloquially called—was the unofficial mascot of the entire exhibit. Tardigrades greet visitors to the exhibition. The black swallower.
