Aaron Johnson doesn't get to make much of an impression as Bennett (watch for his breakthrough role later this month in Kick-Ass) but if you could picture the girl you'd most like to turn up on your doorstep, announcing she's pregnant with your dead son's child, it would be Mulligan's Rose. Despite an absent father and a mother in rehab, Rose is poised, mature and smart enough to have won a full scholarship to Barnard. This movie lacks the energy and verve of An Education, the coming-of-age drama that catapulted the British...
What was your downfall? I wanted to last 30 days, but they caught me a little before that. My wife was heavily pregnant while I was on the run, and she got ill. She needed to go to the hospital and she needed me to come [with her]. I took a lot of precautions: I was really careful about how I entered the hospital, but they hacked into her medical details, and they knew she was going to be there and assumed it would draw me out of hiding...
What happens when a guy is becoming a father? The hormone testosterone is going down and the hormone prolactin is going up in the male brain, because he is smelling the pheromones of his pregnant wife. Prolactin is the hormone in females that makes breast milk. We don't know what it's doing in males yet. We assume it has something to do with making the daddy-brain circuits. By the time the baby is born, he's able to hear infant cries much better. So something about his auditory-perceptual system has actually changed. His sex drive...
...field of gender-based medicine, which takes into account the differences between men and women in the diagnosis and treatment of disease, has been slow to catch on, especially in the pharmaceutical industry. Before the 1990s, women were largely excluded from clinical drug trials - an attempt to protect pregnant women from harm and avoid the potentially confounding effects of women's hormone fluctuations. Since then, as studies have actively recruited women, gender-based research has begun to reveal crucial information about how the development of diseases - such as heart disease, lung cancer and autoimmune disorders - may affect women in markedly...
...Most female astronauts in the U.S. and other countries don't have children not because of the adverse effects of spaceflight but because they have intentionally delayed getting pregnant. Female astronauts who want to have kids tend to put it off early in their careers because of unpredictable flight schedules and because much of their training is forbidden if they're expecting. "Most prefer to get at least one spaceflight in before pregnancy," says Jennings, and are approaching their early 40s by the time they begin trying for children, when the risk of genetic defects and miscarriage is much increased...
