“Most orange cats are boys, a quirk of feline genetics that also explains why almost all calicos and tortoiseshells are girls.”
“After 60 years, scientists know why gingers, calicos, and tortoiseshells look the way they do.”

Current nonfiction read is one I've been looking forward to for a bit. Lucked into finding a copy of Eve by @catbohannon.bsky.social at the local library and have been thoroughly enjoying it so far!

Given the buzz around Bluesky lately- if you'd like to read more on blue skies, I recently wrote for MoMA on perhaps the most beloved work in its collection - the Starry Night - and Van Gogh's fascination with the theme of artificial illumination www.moma.org/magazine/art...
Star Man: Vincent van Gogh’s Illuminated Nights | Magazine | MoMA
The author explores Van Gogh’s fascination with different kinds of illumination, from stars to newly invented gaslight.

My new book, The Forbidden Garden of Leningrad, is out today. It tells the story of the botanists who worked at the world's first seed bank during the 900-day siege––and how they were faced with a terrible decision: eat the fruits of their research to survive, or protect the collection for science.
