Words With Jefre Cantu-Ledesma: Root Strata, the San Francisco Scene, and Music as Gift The roots of Root Strata and its S.F. scene; the genesis of "Gift Songs"; ambient music as phenomenon; the creative process.

The Most Chilling Detail in the U.S. Attack on an Iranian Naval Ship The Iranian warship was taking part in an international exercise with many other countries—including the United States.

This is a chilling crime. A shame on our country. The Iranian ship was unarmed. The US knew this. The sailors were murdered by our navy, and the survivors were left to die at sea.

NIH Says It Will No Longer Recognize the Research Fellows’ Union NIH leadership said the union “should never have been certified,” in an email to the union’s leadership.

RFK Jr. Tells Joe Rogan He’s About to Unleash 14 Banned Peptides RFK Jr. plans to reverse a sweeping compounding ban of certain peptides issued by the FDA in late 2023.

If you ever want to read a paper for free and can't find it otherwise, email the lead author and politely ask for a copy. You will not be bothering the person. You will in fact make their whole entire day. I have had scientists get so excited I asked they sent me everything they ever published.
