And if he doesn't know, then we do, that he already starred in three X-Men movies dating back to 2000. So Logan/James/Wolverine/Hugh is both nine years older than he was at the beginning of the series, but also 20 to 50 to 100 years younger. Superhero mythologies can be so complicated, only a lonely comic-book-reading kid could make sense of it all. (Are graphic novels Hollywood's new gold mine...

...AGRE database. The hope, says Dawson, a co-author of the two Nature papers, is that researchers could ultimately develop drugs that affect the biochemical pathways associated with these genes. Drugs that are precisely targeted in this way are already being tested in an autism-related disorder called Fragile X syndrome. Even if there are hundreds of genetic combinations that lead to autism, there may be common pathways for drugmakers to target...
Various groups are proposing NASA missions that would further investigate such phenomena, including Harvard’s Energetic X-ray Imaging Survey Telescope (EXIST) and Penn State’s Joint Astrophysics and Nascent Universe Satellite (JANUS...
