The Story Of Ancient Egypt's Mysterious Queens
Ancient Egypt has a rich history spanning over 6,000 years. The lives and deaths of its famous characters continue to fascinate us today. We visit museums to get a real sense of ancient Egypt's grandeur, like its monumental statues of monumental men. But when examining the faces in museums, we see they are all men. Where are the women of ancient Egypt? Of course, the most famous is Cleopatra, but to learn about earlier great women, we must go from the monumental to the tiny, as most images of them are on small coins. I want to uncover who these influential women were. By looking in the right places, we see ancient Egypt's story is also one of extraordinary women who left an extraordinary legacy. Queen Hetepheres, Pharaoh Hatshepsut, Queen Nefertari, and Pharaoh Arsinoe paved the way for each other and Cleopatra, creating a legacy of female authority that shaped not just Cleopatra but generations to come. They are incredible role models even today. By telling their stories, I'll take a fresh look at this great civilization through the eyes of ancient Egypt's women.

Bad Medicine
From the Garden of Eden to the jungles of the Amazon, snakes are creatures that have evoked both fear and fascination in human lore, myths, and reality. Fear of snakebites and snakes is grounded in a stark reality as snakes are responsible for an estimated 81,000 to 138,000 deaths each year, with many more suffering from the consequences of their venom. Despite this fear and the high stakes of snake encounters, humanity's quest to understand and counteract snake venom has led to significant medical advancements. A new book, authored by Bob Ashley, Charles F. Smith, and Gordon W. Schuett, entitled, “A Photographic History of Snakebite Treatments: Bad Medicine: Snake Oil, Potions, Elixirs, and Kits,” sinks its teeth into the topic of "Bad Medicine" and explores its fascinating history.
