Ultimately, however, it's a mistake to use any one storm - or even a season's worth of storms - to disprove climate change (or to prove it; some environmentalists have wrongly tied the lack of snow in Vancouver, the site of the Winter Olympic Games, which begin this week, to global warming). Weather is what will happen next weekend; climate is what will happen over the next decades and centuries. And while our ability to predict the former has become reasonably reliable, scientists are still a long way from being able to make accurate projections about the future...

Livingstone is far from alone in her exploration of the science animating works of art. Many of her colleagues, including some at Harvard, pursue similar interests; they channel their curiosity about human visual perception into an artistic study or use scientific findings to explain some of the fundamental principles that underlie works of art. The Vision Sciences Laboratory, located in William James Hall and run by a group of psychology professors, explores this very chiasm in their experiments—though their approach is slightly different than Livingstone?...
...alternative physics” operating in representational artworks. Impossible shadows, reflections, and contours number among the artistic flaws surveyed in an article Cavanagh wrote for the science journal “Nature” entitled “Artists as Neuroscientists.” “Artists use this alternative physics because these particular deviations from true physics do not matter to the viewer,” he writes. “The artists can take shortcuts, presenting cues more economically, and arranging surfaces and lights to suit the message of the piece rather than the requirements...
...Strange Reunions” serve as reminders of the band’s earlier work, but these are exceptions to the forward-moving, electric sound of the rest of “Odd Blood.” This feeling of forwardness is largely due to a change in percussion use from “Cymbals.” The band has eschewed their old tricks of changing rhythm and meter for drumbeats that are consistent throughout almost every track, which avoids monotony and instead highlights their apt use of electronic melodies and driving vocals...
