Dark Horse Comics - Go Behind the Scenes of Serenity: Better Days
"Here's your chance to see how a comic book is put together! From scripting to pencils, and coloring to lettering, it's all right here in our "Making of a Comic" feature for Serenity: Better Days #1.

Joss Whedon returns to the world of his blockbuster film with the three-issue comics series Serenity: Better Days. This brand-new comic revisits everyone's favorite space cowboys in this thrilling, action-packed adventure, with Mal and his crew on a heist that promises a big payoff--what's surprising is that this heist just might make good on that promise. Whedon reunites with Brett Matthews and Will Conrad, his collaborators on the best-selling 2005 series Those Left Behind. Adam Hughes joins the creative team for cover art."

Are We Alone? - "Science and Art: Worlds Apart?"
Leonardo da Vinci is considered a genius for combining art and science. But how usual is this for us mere mortals? Can science and art sucessfully inform each other?

We'll hear how the insights of French writer Marcel Proust anticipated modern neuroscience. Also, a debate over the evolutionary function of art. Does it have survival value? We meet a robot whose painting talents have garnered it a job in one of America's top museums. And, hear - or don't hear - why some of our relatives don't monkey around with music.
Guests:

• Jonah Lehrer - science journalist, editor-at-large, Seed magazine and author of Proust Was a Neuroscientist
• David Sloan Wilson - evolutionary biologist at Binghamton University, and author of Evolution for Everyone: How Darwin's Theory Can Change the Way We Think About Our Lives
• Ellen Dissanayake - independent scholar and author of Art and Intimacy: How the Arts Began
• Leonel Moura - conceptual artist

Find out more about RAP, including a picture, at the American Museum of Natural History website! Whip up some madeleines (click here for a recipe) and savor your own remembrance of things past.
