  • Vulva sculpture in Brazil sparks controversy

    Agua Preta, Brazil, Jan 6 (EFE).- The gigantic sculpture of a vulva, established in a mountainous area in the Brazilian state of Pernambuco by artist Juliana Notari, is designed to serve as a protest against the "secular abuse" suffered by women and "opens (the) wounds" of a culture pummeled by the current government, the work of art's creator said. (Camera: WALDHEIM GARCÍA MONTOYA / GIOVANI SAVICKAS)SHOT LIST: B.ROLL OF THE MUSEUM PARK USINA DAS ARTES IN THE CITY OF AGUA PRETA.SOUND BITES: ARTIST JULIANA NOTARI (IN PORTUGUESE)TRANSLATIONS: "I think that 'Diva', in the context of Latin America and in this landscape, I consider it an open wound, which has to do with colonization, with slavery, with monoculture. All of this is an open wound in Latin America. And this relationship with Carlos Garaicoa is also good, (an artist who is exhibiting his work in 3L Usina Das Artes Museum Park). This place here is emblematic in the history of Latin America, with colonization."

  • Not Quite A Perfect Match: Twins Are Not Genetic Clones

    New research shows regardless how similarly they may look, identical twins are not exactly genetically the same. Icelandic researchers sequenced DNA from 387 pairs of identical twins — those derived from a single fertilized egg — and their close relations. According to HuffPost, that allowed them to find early mutations that separate identical twins. A mutation is an alteration in a sequence of DNA that can influence physical features or susceptibility to certain diseases. On average, identical twins have 5.2 of these early genetic differences, the researchers found. But about 15% of identical twin pairs have more genetic differences, some of them up to 100. That could influence why one twin is taller or why one twin is at greater risk for certain cancers.
