  • Straight Shooter
    Danny Reinberg chose an unconventional model organism to study gene expression. In the process, he’s revealed fascinating things about ants, behavior, and aging. by robin marantz henig Straight Shooter photography by mackenzie stroh HHMI Bulletin / Winter 2014 17 Photo credit Photo 18 Winter 2014 / HHMI Bulletin Supportive and Intense From a young age, Reinberg set about defying expectations. As the oldest in a family of two boys and two girls, he was expected to take over the family business. But he hated working in his father’s stores, where he sold jewelry and furniture during school breaks. Like most young people in his city, he was expected to live at home until he married, but he couldn’t wait to get away from a household filled with discord. So at age 19, he moved into his grandfather’s small apartment in Viña del Mar, one and a half hours away, and eventually studied science at the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparaíso. “My father hoped that if I didn’t take over the family business, I’d at least become a doctor or a lawyer,” he says. “But that’s not what I wanted.” At the university, Reinberg loved all of science: physics, chemistry, and especially biology—the more the better. “In Chile no one worked on weekends,” he says. “I was the only crazy person at the microscope on Saturdays and Sundays.” He finished with a degree in cell biology in 1976 and started a doctoral program in Santiago in a histology/cell biology lab. When he found the science to be too descriptive, he switched to biochemistry.

  • How Twin Peaks Changed the Face of Contemporary Television
    “That Show You Like Might Be Coming Back in Style” 44 DOI: 10.1515/abcsj-2015-0003 “That Show You Like Might Be Coming Back in Style”: How Twin Peaks Changed the Face of Contemporary Television RALUCA MOLDOVAN Babeş-Bolyai University, Cluj-Napoca Abstract The present study revisits one of American television’s most famous and influential shows, Twin Peaks, which ran on ABC between 1990 and 1991. Its unique visual style, its haunting music, the idiosyncratic characters and the mix of mythical and supernatural elements made it the most talked-about TV series of the 1990s and generated numerous parodies and imitations. Twin Peaks was the brainchild of America’s probably least mainstream director, David Lynch, and Mark Frost, who was known to television audiences as one of the scriptwriters of the highly popular detective series Hill Street Blues. When Twin Peaks ended in 1991, the show’s severely diminished audience were left with one of most puzzling cliffhangers ever seen on television, but the announcement made by Lynch and Frost in October 2014, that the show would return with nine fresh episodes premiering on Showtime in 2016, quickly went viral and revived interest in Twin Peaks’ distinctive world. In what follows, I intend to discuss the reasons why Twin Peaks was considered a highly original work, well ahead of its time, and how much the show was indebted to the legacy of classic American film noir; finally, I advance a few speculations about the possible plotlines the series might explore upon its return to the small screen. Keywords: Twin Peaks, television series, film noir, David Lynch Introduction: the Lynchian universe In October 2014, director David Lynch and scriptwriter Mark Frost announced that Twin Peaks, the cult TV series they had created in 1990, would be returning to primetime television for a limited nine episode run 45 “That Show You Like Might Be Coming Back in Style” broadcast by the cable channel Showtime in 2016.
