The 54-year-old has seen extremes in his personal and professional lives, paths that weaved together and led him to become Murray Hill, which is the main thread of the book. “I identify as a trans man in solidarity with and to support my community,” he writes. “But I would rather not constantly be asked how I identify and what my pronouns are.” When people ask how he identifies, he writes, “I’m just me, Murray.” Before he was Fred Rococo in “Somebody Somewhere” with Bridget Everett or Murray in “Life & Beth” with Amy Schumer, or hosting the “King of Drag” competition show on Revry network, or hosting cabaret shows around the world, he was a student at Boston University trying to figure out who he was.

There’s a different kind of feeling that comes with the first few weeks of a football season. For some players, it’s the excitement of putting on the pads for the very first time. There’s a different kind of feeling that comes with the first few weeks of a football season.

For scientists studying the ocean, finding the right data can sometimes be as challenging as figuring out what to do with it. Want to know seafloor depth, the location of underwater mountains or sea surface temperatures? The information exists, but it can take considerable time and computer coding to pull it together from different sources and get it into the proper format.

Scientists have long been interested in cellular nanodiscs, tiny particles made from natural cell membranes that mimic many of the functions of living cells. While previous studies demonstrated the therapeutic potential of nanodiscs for drug delivery, detoxification and vaccines, one fundamental question remained unanswered: How does size influence how well they work?

Water isn't always as it seems. Under extreme conditions, such as those found on other planets, it has been discovered to change its atomic structure, giving it the means to alter its appearance and other properties.
