    Finalist for the 2021 Gerald Lampert Memorial Award
    
    To devote oneself to the study of beauty is to offer footnotes to the universe for all the places and all the moments that one observes beauty. I can no longer grab beauty by her wrists and demand articulation or meaning. I can only take account of where things touch.
    Part lyric essay, part prose poetry, Where Things Touch grapples with the manifold meanings and possibilities of beauty.
    Drawing on her experiences as a physician-in-training, Orang considers clinical encounters and how they relate to the concept and very idea of beauty. Such considerations lead her to questions about intimacy, queerness, home, memory, love, and other aspects of human existence. Throughout, beauty is ultimately imagined as something inextricably tied to care: the care of lovers, of patients, of art and literature, and the various non-human worlds that surround us.
    Eloquent and meditative in its approach, beauty, here, beyond base expectations of frivolity and superficiality, is conceived of as a thing to recover.Where Things Touch is an exploration of an essential human pleasure, a necessary freedom by which to challenge what we know of ourselves and the world we inhabit.
    2021 Gerald Lampert Memorial Award Jury Citation:
    "Tapestry-like in form, Orang's lyrical poetic essay stitches together an exploration of beauty and aesthetics that is woven with humility and relationality to other. Her immense sense of craft and confidence make for breath stopping moments, over and over, while at the same time filling the senses with powerful and piercing revelation. 'Reading,' she writes, 'is a kind of ecological activity'– and it is a privilege to situate yourself within Orang's topographies of love."

    A powerful, entertaining and, at times, eviscerating commentary on the most controversial of original superfoods. 
     
    Milk. It's in our coffee, on our cereal. We see it in processed form – yoghurt, butter, cheese, skimmed and lactose free. It's there in almond form, or made from oats or soy, and is as lauded as the 'perfect' food or lambasted as not fit for human consumption and a toxic planet killer, depending on who you trust. Which type you drink, whether you were raised on breastmilk, what you think of it, is affected by culture, biology and fashion. How you view it is driven by your gender and your politics, as well as your geography. 
     
    The miracle liquid has suffered an image problem. It has been used to keep people poor, to keep women subjugated, and to build corporate and medical careers. It's been blamed for climate change, the breakdown of human health, and an enabler of the industrial revolution. From perfect food to pariah, milk's role in life has often been debased. 
     
    Milk celebrates the majesty of this noble liquid, and delves into the pretenders to its throne, from formula to Mylk. It looks at the transformation of what a milk-producer eats into one of the most nutrient dense foods available, and how that can be transformed again into the butter, cheese and clotted cream that we know and love today. It's an exploration of the science, history and politics of what makes mammals different from every other life form on earth.

    Gravity's Hidden Partner -...

    Dark matter is one of the most perplexing and elusive concepts in modern astrophysics. It was first proposed in the early 20th century when astronomers and physicists observed that galaxies and galaxy clusters seemed to be moving in ways that couldn't be explained by the visible matter alone. Despite the fact that dark matter cannot be directly seen or measured through conventional means, its existence has been inferred through its gravitational effects on visible matter, radiation, and the large-scale structure of the universe. 
    The concept of dark matter emerged after astronomer Fritz Zwicky made an important observation in the 1930s. He noticed that galaxy clusters were moving much faster than they should have been based on the amount of visible matter present in them. In other words, there seemed to be an invisible force or substance that was exerting additional gravitational pull on these galaxies. However, it wasn't until the 1970s when Vera Rubin made similar findings in her studies of galactic rotation curves that the theory of dark matter gained significant traction. 
    Rubin's work revealed that the outer edges of galaxies were rotating faster than expected, based on the amount of visible matter present in them. If only the visible stars, gas, and dust were taken into account, the outer regions should have been moving slower, but they weren't. This discrepancy suggested that there was more mass in these galaxies than what could be seen. This unseen mass was later attributed to dark matter, a substance that doesn't emit, absorb, or reflect light, making it undetectable by conventional instruments.
