![]() Lindy West covers many similar topics in Shrill: Notes from a Loud Woman (Hachette, $16).

She writes about competitive Scrabble tournaments, body image, rape culture, 50 Shades of Grey and seemingly everything in between. In her brutally honest and open essays, which vary in both subject and tone, Gay lays out her examples of feminism (albeit sometimes "bad feminism"). ![]() "When you can't find someone to follow, you have to find a way to lead by example." So says Roxane Gay in her essay collection, Bad Feminist (Harper Perennial, $15.99)-and Gay, along with fellow essayists Lindy West and Julia Serano, are excellent examples of writers exploring feminism and femininity in new and innovative ways. ![]()

Empire of pain by patrick radden keefe5/24/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Do you think these dynamics have been too aggressive? Do they provide any benefits to the healthcare community and consumers?ĥ. Do you think that medical advertising would even be an industry if Sackler hadn’t invented it? It started with advertising, creating medical journals, but eventually led to an army of drug representatives paying doctors to promote their drugs. What do you think about the strategy of convincing the medical community that the drugs could be used long term and without addiction?Ĥ. Some would say that the problem wasn’t the medications - they are effective - but the fact that they were used ‘off label’ or otherwise abused. Do you see this narrative as a 'Rise and Fall' story of the Sackler family? Can you identify a specific point in the book’s timeline that the Sackler organization put profit over harm to patients and society?Ģ. ![]()

These Things About Us by Laura Beege5/23/2023 ![]() ![]() The outcome is that, notably, the rules of engagement and the resulting structural outcome are dictated by the composition and properties of the membrane, rather than by the Aβ variant. In this emerging perspective, the study presented in this paper investigated whether the organization of model membranes is affected by contact with Aβ in the nascent state, as monomers. Recently, it has been suggested that nascent Aβ, out of the amyloidogenic pathway, plays a physiological and protective role, especially in the brain. ![]() Their involvement in the pathological route of Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is currently considered to be the most relevant, triggered by their aggregation into structured oligomers, a toxic species. The physiological and pathological roles of nascent amyloid beta (Aβ) monomers are still debated in the literature. ![]() |
