The Poet: Edward Hirsch, "I Was Never Able To Pray"
*"I Was Never Able To Pray"* "Wheel me down to the shore where the lighthouse was abandoned and the moon tolls in the rafters. Let me hear the wind paging through the trees and see the stars flaring out, one by one, like the forgotten faces of the dead. I was never able to pray, but let me inscribe my name in the book of waves and then stare into the dome of a sky that never ends and see my voice sail into the night." - Edward Hirsch read more

We are terribly confused by the mere fact of our existence, and a danger to ourselves and to the rest of life." - Edward O.

Research That Shines Light on How Cells Recover from Threats May Lead to New Insights into Alzheimer’s and ALS
*Brian Andrew Maxwell* *Health, * Scientists still need to identify which enzymes are responsible for putting the ubiquitin tag on proteins during stress in the first place. *The big idea* Our bodies contain a special protein tag that plays a role in how cells recover from specific threats to their survival, according to new research I co-authored. Understanding how this process works may be key to future treatments for neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease and some forms of dementia.
