When Nobel prize winner Dr. Carol W. Greider first made her breakthrough discovery in 1984, she put on Springsteen and "danced and danced and danced." But she's serious right now, especially about the issue of sexism in science. More »K8 Hardy Makes Fashion Arty, Fun
"This blanket expression that you shouldn't judge a person by their clothes is ridiculous to me," says artist/stylist K8 Hardy. For Hardy, fashion is more than just what you wear, it's art. More »John Edwards Either Is Or Isn't Going To Admit He's The Father
Is John Edwards about to announce that he's the father of Rielle Hunter's baby? Did he really promise her a rooftop wedding, complete with the Dave Matthews Band? As with so many things, it depends on who you believe. More »What's The Best Way To Combat HIV/AIDS Around The World?
