Mary Ziegler, a law professor and historian at the University of California, Davis, who has written five books on abortion in the United States, said reproductive rights groups had long had a fund-raising advantage over anti-abortion organizations, in part because the former tend to be more recognizable. “There hasn’t really been the equivalent of a…
Food choices, oral hygiene habits and certain health conditions can play a role — but there are ways to keep dragon breath in check.
“Our culture really pushes this narrative of ‘you can do it if you really want to,’” she said. “This is very oversimplifying.” Life happens. Research suggests the true path to longevity and consistency in any activity are “enjoying it and feeling accomplished,” she added. This becomes easier when we celebrate our progress, no matter how…

For an artist with a lifelong interest in science, there may not be a more ideal scenario than hobnobbing with NASA scientists at…
