On retractions

Our regulations for privatizing articles align with our policies on source anonymization: If it’s deemed that publication may endanger the author, whether to retaliation, risk of verbal or physical threat, or fear of national level surveillance (such as the potential revocation of a VISA), the article will be removed. 

On writing

It is human nature to create, to dream, to strive, and while I may feel silly sometimes talking to friends in “loftier” or more stable career paths, I still feel the drive to write, to sing, to scream, to learn.

“Jaws in Concert” was a Splash

The Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra played the score of the film live, while the movie itself was projected above the musicians. It was a beautiful performance and an affectionate tribute to such a famous film.
