Hollywood's a strange place: while some musical artists have managed to age gracefully (through their career, of course - Botox is for real aging), there are some who never seem to break out of the original formula that made them famous. Madonna's newest album, MDNA, again proves that the star is still making music that would be better suited for up-and-comers half her age.
Have you ever had a single scent, melody or picture transport you to a distant memory? MIT scientists have done something similar but with neurons as the trigger. In other words, they have been investigating whether a few neurons can bring to mind an entire memory.
When a patient suffering from an acute lung injury enters the intensive care unit, the intensity of the injury is not the only factor that may affect their mortality.

The Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History in D.C. gives visitors an "inside" look at fish with its visiting exhibit, X-Ray Vision: Fish Inside and Out.
Springtime at Hopkins is a magical season. As temperatures rise and students eagerly escape from indoors, the brilliant sunshine, fresh, green grass and exploding magnolia trees bring out the weathered beauty of the campus's red-brick buildings. What could be a more perfect backdrop to a brand new artists market on campus?
The First Friday Artists Market is a sort of flea market-style affair where students pay a small fee for a table and get to hawk some of their art to their fellows. As is traditional with this kind of affair, a decent amount of what was being sold was either poorly made or simply boring. On the boring end of the spectrum there were mugs with "cute" little customizable graphics on them. On the poorly made end of the spectrum, there was a decent amount of the abstract art that makes you think more about what you are going to have for lunch later today than the meaning of life, and of course there was the booth that sells those crappy little bead bracelets that obviously took all of thirty seconds to put together, look boring and cost five dollars.
Recent work done by a group of Hopkins researchers has shed new light on the factors contributing to the development of schizophrenia in individuals.

As each passing day draws us closer to the 2012 presidential election, reminders of partisan politics remain at the forefront of the discussion. Take the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, for example. In a recent poll conducted by ABC News and the Washington Post, just over half of surveyed individuals believed that a Supreme Court decision on the Act, which is expected sometime in June, will likely be made with political interests in mind.
This week, the Christian Science Monitor reported that illegal immigration in the United States has hit a net zero for the first time in 50 years. The population of undocumented immigrants in the U.S. has fallen from 12 million to around 11 million and new immigrants haven't been entering the U.S. at a high enough number to replace those who left.

I recently had some family members visit me and in a shamefully uncreative act of desperation to entertain, I did what most Baltimoreans do when they have guests in town for an afternoon.
Not that far away from our insulated campus lays a sometimes forgotten treasure trove of music. This, of course, is none other than the Peabody Institute. It is easily accessible - all it takes is a short trip on the JHMI shuttle - and it is constantly abuzz with a variety of contemporary and classical performances. Most importantly, it is cheap for those living on a budget; a student ID comes with student discounts.
This Single of the Week, "Monoliths," comes to you from dream-pop band Lotus Plaza.
