Dr. Scarpetta and his colleagues make the case that the ancestors of Fiji’s iguanas crossed on mats of floating vegetation.

The question has definitely captured the imagination of scientists and the public alike

Mr. Lee said he hoped Dr. Doutaghi’s job and access to emails and campus would be restored, and he is asking the school to take “public action to restore her reputation.”

The decision came three days after a news site, powered at least in part by artificial intelligence, published a story about Dr. Doutaghi’s connections to the group.

Last week, though, she was abruptly barred from Yale’s campus in New Haven, Conn., and placed on administrative leave.

Helyeh Doutaghi, a scholar in international law, began a new job in 2023 as the deputy director of a project at Yale Law School.

The stakes aren’t just instrumental either. Having some sense of an independent reality

ignorance leaves him vulnerable to someone who may get some perverse satisfaction from taking advantage of him. (Can it really be that the two episodes you happen to know about represent the full extent of his roommate’s betrayals?)

Do I have an ethical obligation to tell my son, or should I let him continue his convivial and peaceful last year of college with this tight-knit group of guys?

I called the company and they sent me a copy of the front and back of the check, which was signed and deposited by the same lying roommate.

My son is a senior in college. His best friend and roommate for the last four years recently took something from him that was in a hiding place no one knew about except for my son and this friend.

A lift ticket for around $100 “might sound like a pretty freaking good deal,” Ms. DesLauriers said, “for a powder day with five-minute lift lines and 1,700 vertical feet.”

The passes prompted crowds of skiers, yet exacerbated traffic jams, long lines and housing shortages in small resort communities.

What Bolton lacks in glam it more than makes up for with its terrain and friendly vibe. It has cultivated a niche among Eastern ski areas as a hybrid downhill and backcountry resort, leaning into demand for backcountry skiing with its fabled 1,200-acre powder preserve, known as the Bolton Backcountry.

“We have Formica in the bathrooms, not marble.”

“We are the littlest of the big ski areas,”

Stowe takes Epic and Sugarbush takes Ikon, and each resort has more than 100 trails, a vertical drop of over 2,000 feet, a dozen or more lifts, and luxury slope-side lodging.

But he hadn’t, he noted, anticipated the intensity of the vitriol, which, he said, included doxxing and vandalism, as well as death threats.

“In a time of life with cynicism, Paddington is a remarkably generous-spirited, uncynical character,” he added. “And the film reflects that.”

(no one has been able to find that review).

So Warners had one hand tied behind their back in terms of marketing,” Heyman said.

That is, until “Paddington 2” became available to watch on Amazon Prime Video in March 2018 and then became a streaming hit in 2020 during the coronavirus pandemic.

Hugh Grant as the ridiculously campy villain, Phoenix Buchanan — was also a breeze.“Hugh knows a good part,” he said, laughing.King’s confidence as a director grew from the first film to the second, Heyman said, as he became more comfortable with the bevy of visual effects required to create the C.G.I. bear, who was represented during filming by a toy bear head on a stick.“There was a lot more time to focus on the script and on working with the actors,” Heyman said. “It was really fun. The spirit of the film was reflected on set.”

“There’s humor in it for adults; there’s humor for children,”

it is hard to imagine that when “Paddington 2” first arrived in theaters stateside, it was only a modest box office success.

This tweet was not ironic.

The fish is only about six inches long. It also has a less scary alternative name: the humpback anglerfish.

This fish with “devil” in its name is no friendly guppy or koi. It is black as the depths in which it normally lives. Its teeth look like razors. Its lidless eyes, staring forward, seem to have a remorseless cruelty. Its mouth, perpetually open, frankly looks as if it wants to swallow you and everything you hold dear.

big mouths, sharp teeth and a desire to eat almost anything.

Even the light of the sun cannot penetrate the inky blackness below. The pressure of the water above is crushing. And yet life somehow survives, adapted to that strange world.

It’s possible that further exploration will uncover “the ancestors of ostriches, fowls, neoaves and ducks that may have roamed alongside non-avian dinosaurs.”

It’s surprising to me that this is the fourth Oura Ring and that these problems, in addition to inaccurate step counting, haven’t already been solved. Wake me up when they are.

Its seven-day battery life could constantly

I liked wearing the Oura — thinner and more comfortable than its predecessor, it looked just like an everyday ring. I also understood its appeal: Its seven-day battery life could constantly monitor vitals like my heart rate.But my sleep and fitness data were so hit or miss that I can’t confidently recommend making the splurge and paying a subscription.

The inside of the ring comes embedded with tiny sensors that collect data on vitals like heart rate, body temperature and movement, in an effort to track a wearer’s sleep patterns and pinpoint issues that may cause poor rest.
