  "Get off your phone and read Jess Kimball Leslie's funny book!" -- Andy Cohen, host of Bravo's Watch What Happens LiveILove My Computer Because My Friends Live in it is a hilarious memoir of growing up in the early days of the Internet and celebrating technology's role in our lives. Coming of age in suburban Connecticut in the late '80s and early '90s, Jess Kimball Leslie looked to the nascent Internet to find the tribes she couldn't find IRL: fellow Bette Midler fans; women who seemed impossibly sure of their sexuality; interns trudging through similarly soul-crushing media jobs. Through effortlessly comedic storytelling and looks at tech through the ages (with photos!), Jess takes you on a journey through the hilarious times that technology and the Internet changed her life. From accounts of the lawless chat rooms of early AOL to the perpetual high school reunions that are modern-day Facebook and Instagram, Jess's essays paint a clear picture: That each of us has a much more twisted, meaningful, emotional relationship with the online world than we realize or let on.

  For over half a century, DNA has dominated science and the popular imagination as the "secret of life." But over the last several decades, a quiet revolution has taken place. In a series of breathtaking discoveries, the biochemist Thomas R. Cech and a diverse cast of brilliant scientists have revealed that RNA—long overlooked as the passive servant of DNA—sits at the center of biology's greatest mysteries: How did life begin? What makes us human? Why do we get sick and grow old? In The Catalyst, Cech finally brings together years of research to demonstrate that RNA is the true key to understanding life on Earth, from its very origins to our future in the twenty-first century. 
   
   
   
  A gripping journey of discovery, The Catalyst moves from the early experiments that first hinted at RNA's spectacular powers, to Cech's own paradigm-shifting finding that it can catalyze cellular reactions, to the cutting-edge biotechnologies poised to reshape our health. We learn how RNA may have jump-started life itself, and how, at the same time, it can cut our individual lives short through viral diseases and cancer. We see how RNA is implicated in the aging process and explore the darker depths of the supposed fountain of youth, telomerase. And we catch a thrilling glimpse into how RNA-powered therapies may enable us to improve and even extend life beyond nature's current limits.

  Risk Management and ISO 31000 -...

  Risk management is a primary concern for any organisation. Its significance has only increased since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. Organisations need to prepare for all types of threats, both probable (a server breaking down) and improbable (the office being flooded), to ensure that their operations can survive and adapt to continue with BAU (business as usual) in the face of a disaster.
  Yet risk management isn't solely about preventing negative outcomes, it is also about an organisation taking a known risk to uncover new opportunities to improve the organisation. For example, the transition of employees to remote working could risk an organisation's security as an employee could connect their laptop to an unsecure Wi-Fi connection. However, as demonstrated in the pandemic, remote working helped protect employees as the risk of infecting one another with COVID-19 was reduced.
  Read this pocket guide to understand how:
  
  - Risk-based management can prepare your organisation for future threats and therefore help the success of a BCP (business continuity plan);
  - To identify whether the opportunities gained from a 'risky' decision can outweigh the perceived threat;
  - The principles of ISO 31000 can help your organisation develop a framework for its approach to risk management;
  - The guidelines of ISO 31000 can be interwoven with controls in other standards such as ISO 27001 and ISO 9001; and
  - The organisation must continually review its approach to risk management to stay prepared for the latest threats.

  Into the Abyss - The Science of...

  Dark space, a term that captures the vast and mysterious regions of the universe that remain elusive to the human eye, is one of the most fascinating and perplexing subjects in modern astronomy and physics. It refers to the areas of space that are largely empty or seem devoid of matter, yet are crucial to our understanding of the cosmos. Unlike the stars, planets, and galaxies that illuminate the night sky, dark space is often invisible to our telescopes and our senses. This absence of light and matter doesn’t mean that dark space is inactive or devoid of interest. On the contrary, dark space is full of hidden forces and phenomena that scientists are only beginning to understand. It holds the secrets to some of the most fundamental questions about the universe's structure, its origins, and its ultimate fate. 
  The origins of dark space can be traced back to the very beginning of the universe. When the Big Bang occurred, it led to the creation of matter and energy. However, the universe didn’t begin with the stars and galaxies that we are familiar with today. Instead, it started as a hot, dense point that rapidly expanded. As the universe cooled, matter began to condense and form structures, such as galaxies, but there was also a significant amount of empty space that remained. This space, often referred to as "dark" because it contains little to no visible matter, is not empty in the sense that it is void of energy. Instead, it is filled with forces and substances that we cannot see directly. 
  One of the key aspects of dark space is the presence of dark matter, a mysterious substance that makes up a large portion of the universe’s total mass. Although dark matter cannot be directly observed, its presence is inferred from its gravitational effects on visible matter.
