  • Transverse02.Pdf
    The April 2004 Centre for Comparative Literature’s Graduate Student Colloquium was a great success in that it was able to synthesize divergent fields of study into a forum which not only encouraged dialogue, but encouraged a deeper understanding of various literary disciplines, as well. I am honoured to present several of those papers given at this recent colloquium in the second issue of Transverse. Stay tuned for a third isse of Transverse this coming winter which will focus on the visual interpretations of various artists (photographers, graphic designers, illustrators, painters...) in and around the University of To- ronto campus, and various other campuses in the city.

  • Orac (Alias David Gorski) December 31, 2014 She’S Baa-Aack
    http://scienceblogs.com/insolence/2014/12/31/oh-no-gmos-are-going-to-make-everyone-autistic/ nearly 500 comments Orac (alias David Gorski) December 31, 2014 She’s baa-aack. Remember Stephanie Seneff? When last Orac discussed her, she had been caught dumpster diving into the VAERS database in order to torture the data to make it confess a “link” between aluminum adjuvants in vaccines and acetaminophen and—you guessed it!—autism. It was a bad paper in a bad journal known as Entropy that I deconstructed in detail around two years ago. As I said at the time, I hadn’t seen a “review” article that long and that badly done since the even more horrible article by Helen Ratajczak entitled Theoretical aspects of autism: Causes–A review (which, not surprisingly, was cited approvingly by Seneff et al). Seneff, it turns out, is an MIT scientist, but she is not a scientist with any expertise in autism, epidemiology, or, for that matter, any relevant scientific discipline that would give her the background knowledge and skill set to take on analyzing the epidemiological literature regarding autism. Indeed, she is in the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory at MIT, and her web page theredescribes her thusly: Stephanie Seneff is a Senior Research Scientist at the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory. She received the B.S. degree in Biophysics in 1968, the M.S. and E.E. degrees in Electrical Engineering in 1980, and the Ph.D degree in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science in 1985, all from MIT.

  • Casse Tête Au Club Des Veufs Noirs
    1 CASSE-TETE AU CLUB DES VEUFS NOIRS PAR Isaac ASIMOV Traduit de l’anglais par Michèle VALENCIA 2 À Alex Zupnick, Don Laventhal et Bob Zicklin, qui se donnent beaucoup de mal pour m’éviter de me fourrer dans le pétrin. 3 INTRODUCTION Pour une raison ou une autre, peut-être à cause de la douce et sympathique modestie qui me caractérise, je vis constamment dans la crainte que quelqu’un ne parvienne à endiguer le flot incessant des ouvrages que je publie. Ainsi, par exemple, en mars 1971, j’ai écrit, pour Ellery Queen’s Mystery Magazine (EQMM), une nouvelle policière sur un club que j’ai appelé « les Veufs Noirs ». Je n’avais pas l’intention de poursuivre, mais Frédéric Dannay (« Ellery Queen »), l’a présentée comme « la première d’une nouvelle série ». J’en ai donc écrit une deuxième… puis une troisième… Et chaque fois je tremblais de peur en pensant que Fred, ou quelqu’un d’autre, pouvait me dire : « O.K. ! maintenant, ça suffit. » Heureusement pour moi, personne ne l’a fait. Finalement, après avoir écrit douze nouvelles de cette série, je me suis dit que j’en avais assez pour publier un recueil que j’ai intitulé Tales of the Black Widowers (Doubleday, 1974)1. Les douze nouvelles suivantes ont donné lieu à la publication de More Tales of the Black Widowers (Doubleday, 1976).2 Je sais que vous m’avez devancé : je viens de terminer une troisième douzaine de nouvelles, donc, voici Casebook of the Black Widowers. Et personne ne m’a encore demandé de m’arrêter.
