EA / EA I review a whole lot of new video games each year. So when one sticks with me long after I’ve beaten it, that’s an indication of a truly great game — doubly so if it’s a AAA release.

I gave the game a four-star review in April, and it’s been one of the most memorable games for me in 2023, a year that had tons of fantastic games. This…

Montreal-born, Scottish-based author Sarah Bernstein’s second novel, Study for Obedience, spins a carefully woven web of culpability and criminality – of which gender is one fine thread – in answering its central question: if attacks on minority groups are unrelenting, in what ways do those groups internalise blame?The…

In a groundbreaking study published in Science Advances, scientists chronicled the unique case of an individual who developed twelve distinct tumors, including five malignant types, within less than forty years. Strikingly, the patient has survived despite bearing mutations in both copies of a gene, MAD1L1, essential to cell division. In the past, such mutations would cause embryonic death in animal models. Researchers suggest that the patient’s frequent production of altered cells triggered a chronic defensive response…
