Pity poor Trump, whose Nobel hopes were dashed by common sense | Dave Schiling

Political figures and movements often respond to setbacks by denying legitimacy, projecting indifference, and reframing losses as conspiracies or personal insults.

The Political Power of Timeless Art

His sentences can go on for hundreds of pages; his plots don't resolve, they dissolve; and his persistent mood is existential dread. But the Hungarian novelist's central theme is easily parsed and sadly evergreen. Krasznahorkai writes about the stultifying effects of political oppression, but he also writes in defiance of people's readiness to accept them. As a result, his work is equal parts depressing and invigorating.

SF scientist, UC alum nabs Nobel Prize for immune system discoveries

In 2001, Ramsdell and Brunkow made a key discovery while studying a mouse strain prone to autoimmune disease. Together, the researchers found that mice possessed a mutation of a gene they named "Foxp3," which they compared to the mutations in the human version of the same gene, which caused a severe autoimmune disorder known as IPEX. Two years later, Sakaguchi demonstrated that Foxp3 played a key role in producing a class of immune cells he had first identified in 1995.
