Preet Bharara, Doing Justice
The Mueller report is in, but the conversations and controversies surrounding it look set to continue for quite some time. Preet Bharara, a former US attorney for the Southern District of New York, was fired by President Trump early in his tenure. In his new book Doing Justice, he casts a keen eye on the role that the Department of Justice has to play in holding politicians to account.
UW male birth control study
For decades, the burden of birth control has fallen on women. On one side of the aisle: condoms. On the other side: pills, patches, IUDs, diaphragms, shots, and sponges – as well as their attendant side effects. But that might be changing. A team at the University of Washington is testing multiple new types of birth control for men. Professor of Medicine Dr. Stephanie Page is helping lead that study; Aaron Lockhart Jr. is a participant.
Cory Doctorow, Radicalized
Radicalized is a term that is selectively applied. It shouts from newspaper headlines when the organization in question is ISIS, but science fiction author Cory Doctorow says it’s just as applicable to men who join the incel movement. His new book, Radicalized, tells the stories of some of the men who walk down these paths.
