    Deborah M. Gordon
    How do ant colonies get anything done, when no one is in charge? An ant colony operates without a central control or hierarchy, and no ant directs another.

Ant Encounters provides a reveali...

  • Sometimes Things are Punk, Sometimes They are Not
    Juventino Manzano
    This diary is very different from my grandmother’s in many ways-the generational differences are apparent upon reading. Hilda helped ran a garage for her father, while Esther worked as a stenographer and was very much a lady, whereas Hilda would have been considered a 'tom boy.'

    Suddenly, there is a blur in front of my face. I try to see it and I do not see anything-there it is again. I see a flash of green and scarlet and realize that there is a hummingbird hovering over my head. It rockets,hovers, bounces, and dodges unknown particles only it sees, and now it is less than a yard away looking directly at me. It dives into one of the moonflowers and in...
