Tonight!! The Grand Guignol Spectacular: An Evening of Victorian Variety, Macabre Merriment, and Horror Live on Stage!

Posted on by


Tonight! At the Coney Island Museum! Very much hope to see you there!

Grand Guignol Variety Show at The Coney Island Museum
Featuring classic Grand Guignol performances, film, toy theatre, song, dance, film and more, followed by a DJed after-party
Date: Saturday, December 10th
Time: 8:00 (doors at 7)
Admission: $25 (tickets available here)
Location: The Coney Island Museum, 1208 Surf Avenue, Brooklyn
Presented by Morbid Anatomy, Atlas Obscura and The Coney Island Museum and curated by Joanna Ebenstein & John Del Gaudio

From turn-of-the-century Paris through the 1960s, the Theatre of the Grand Guignol gleefully celebrated horror, sex, and fear with infamous productions featuring innocent victims, mangled beauty, insanity, mutilation, humour, sex, and monstrous depravity in a heady mix that attracted throngs of thrill-seekers from all echelons of society, making it the progenitor of today’s blood-spilling, eye-gouging, and limb-hacking “splatter” films.

Join us on December 10th at the Coney Island Museum for a one-night-only ode to The Grand Guignol and its legacy. Our evening of variety theatre was developed in conversation with Mel Gordon, author of Grand Guiginol: Theatre of Fear and Terror; Participants will include Doll Parts, Meg Moseley, GF Newland, Melissa Roth, Shannon Taggart, Alison Termine, Ronni Thomas, and Kathleen Kennedy Tobin and the role of Master or Ceremonies filled by Lord Whimsy. Projects include stagings of two classic Grand Guignol plays, a toy theater version of Bryusov’s “The Sisters,” a harmonious and creepy rendition of “Dry Bones,” and more, all followed by an after-party with music and Hendrick’s Gin cocktails courtesy of Friese Undine.

When Blago leaves prison …

Posted on by

Not anything related to digital pathology. Taken from Chicago Tribune.

It is possible the president in 2024 might be 22 now.  Playing Xbox right now.

Let's hope the Bulls have 6 more championships by then but I kind of doubt it.

Medicare running out of money could be a bad thing, particularly since I will still need it as a source of income and a plan I have been paying into and will continue to for years and will need long after it is gone.

As much as any Chicagoan would like to see the Olympics in our hometown I think it is more likely Medicare could run out of money by then.

And who will be the Bears quarterback then?  Where is he right now? Let's hope playing Pop Warner football in Mississippi, Louisiana or Western PA. Some good ones have come out of there.

If former Gov. Rod Blagojevich reports to prison as scheduled Feb. 16, he could be released in early 2024, after serving the required 85 percent of his 14-year sentence imposed Wednesday. Here's a look at some other news expected that year:

• The U.S. will elect a new president. If Barack Obama is re-elected in 2012 and is succeeded by another two-term president, the commander in chief chosen in 2024 will be our nation's 46th, and could be as young as 22 right now.

• Bulls guard Derrick Rose could be finishing the 2023-24 season at 35, an age whenMichael Jordan played his last game for the team and by which he had amassed sixNBA championships.

• If still alive, former Presidents Jimmy Carter and George H.W. Bush will turn 100, as will actresses Doris Day and Lauren Bacall, former New York City Mayor Ed Kochand businessman Lee Iacocca.

• "Saved by the Bell" actors Mark-Paul Gosselaar, Tiffani Thiessen and Lark Voorhies would turn 50.

• A total solar eclipse will occur April 8. The area around Carbondale will make news for experiencing two such eclipses within seven years, the other occurring Aug. 21, 2017.

• The Medicare hospital insurance fund is projected to run out of money, according to a report issued this year by Medicare trustees.

• Fifty-year observances will take place recognizing President Richard Nixon's resignation, Hank Aaron's breaking of Babe Ruth's home run record, the first printing ofPeople magazine and the invention of Rubik's Cube.

• The Summer Olympics will take place, in a city to be determined. If the International Olympic Committee holds to form, that decision will be announced in 2017. Could it be … Chicago?

The Evolution of the Broad Chemical Biology Informatics Platform – Ben Alexander (Broad Institute) – Video

Posted on by

The Chemical Biology Platform within the Broad Institute screens both the Molecular Libraries Small Molecule Repository (MLSMR) and a unique compound collection synthesized internally through diversity oriented synthesis, yielding novel starting points for follow-up chemistry in a range of disease areas including cancer, diabetes, and psychiatric illnesses. The supporting informatics needs include sample tracking, analysis of high-throughput assay data, hit evaluation, and analysis of compounds by patterns of activity across multiple assays (eg, to understand mechanism of action). Data and results have been made public first through ChemBank and subsequently through PubChem and CARS.

Biological roots of empathically motivated helping behaviour, strong evidence – Video

Posted on by

Can rats display empathy by alleviating the suffering of an unrelated rat? To find out, psychologists Inbal Ben-Ami Bartal, Jean Decety, and Peggy Mason at the University of Chicago tested whether rats would rescue a trapped cagemate without any obvious reward. The group found that rats would release trapped cagemates from restrainers, but ignored empty restrainers or those containing only a toy rat.
