When we came to live in Cyprus 26 years ago now, water was rationed to two days a week on our road. However, the house we later bought had a well in the garden, so we were pleased about that, and I was able to start a garden after all with flowers and not just […]

Beyond rhetoric: the remaking of the Eastern Mediterranean

The sharp exchanges between Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Benjamin Netanyahu are real. The language is harsh. At times, extreme. It is tempting to dismiss them as political posturing aimed at domestic audiences. It is equally tempting to see them as a prelude to war. Both interpretations miss the point. This is not theatre. Nor is […]

Here’s how Tyrannosaurus ended up with a big head and small arms

Tyrannosaurus rex possessed a preposterously massive skull – 5 feet long (1.5 meters) and built to enable bone-crunching bite force – but presented preposterously puny arms. And many other meat-eating dinosaurs shared this ​mismatched combination of traits. So how did this come to be? Researchers studying this phenomenon have now documented how skull robustness in […]
