Yes, that’s a human brain on a cafeteria tray. UCLA fair shows off science cuts under Trump

UCLA's researchers go low-tech to plead their case to the public with poster boards and props. The Trump administration has suspended more than $500 million in research grants to the university.

Nehru's India: A History in Seven Myths is now out in paperback and it has an evocative new cover! To me, it brings to mind some of René Magritte's paintings from the 1950s and 60s. Thanks to Princeton University Press for the new design.

You might already be familiar with it, but Partha Chatterjee's A Princely Imposter comes to mind. More of a narrative than theory. Imposters to the Russian throne were common, particularly in times of instability, so you might find something looking at Russian Imperial history.

Help! I'm looking for scholarship on "the impostor" in social history. Not spies, not those who used pseudonyms, but figures who embellished their records to gain social status, entry into certain circles, or credentials among socialists, revolutionaries, or anarchists.

Prashant Kidambi writes about Jim Masselos, the historian who spent six decades detailing so many aspects of Bombay's history, who passed away this week: scroll.in/article/1083...

scroll.in

For historian Jim Masselos (1940-2025), Mumbai was a city that was both his archive and his muse

Masselos wrote about the world of the urban mohalla, crowds and popular culture, and the changing rhythms of everyday life in the city.
