Brilliant Indian comic book turns rape victim into a kick-ass super hero 

India’s rape crisis has a new female face, but it’s not what you think. 

A new comic book, Priya’s Shakti, is making waves in India for its unconventional heroine: a rape victim-turned-superhero who fights gendered violence with the help of the Hindu goddess Parvati. 

According to the comic’s website, the storyline focuses on Priya, a mortal woman who experienced a brutal rape and ensuing social stigma and isolation. Inspired by Parvati, Priya breaks her silence and reveals her assault, encouraging people around the world to take action against sexual violence.

This is much more than a comic. Literally.

Rosetta results reveal water on comet different from Earth’s water

ABC News: Results released Wednesday from Europe’s Rosetta mission pokes serious holes in the theory that most of the water on Earth came from comets.

Observations from the mission show water vapor found on comet 67P is unlike the water we live with on Earth. Scientists will continue to collect data on how the comet behaves for more information on the origins of the solar system.

Empathy & Compassion in the brain

Empathy is a complicated task for the brain.

Reptiles probably can’t do it and it’s going to occur in pretty simple forms for most mammals. But in humans, it really engages the frontal lobes: these newer regions of the brain that are involved in more complex symbolic processes like language, considering alternatives and imagining the future. Empathy requires that you think: there’s someone else out there who has feelings and thoughts that may be different from mine.  That’s a complicated cognitive achievement!

Compassion —the caring instinct— is located down in the center of the brain, near the top of the spinal cord where a lot of our basic instincts are regulated. It’s a very old part of the brain called the periaqueductal gray, which is common to mammals when they take care of their young.

So that’s striking: there’s one kind of thing —empathy— that’s really about understanding people (very complicated!) in the frontal lobes. But caring is is really old in the nervous system.
