The turquoise killifish is largely unremarkable except for how fast it ages . In just three months, it goes from a spry, young fish (left) to a decrepit, old one (right). For scientists who study aging, the turquoise killifish could be the key to their future experiments.

“Leonard Nimoy just died.”
You hear things like that in an office all the time, especially when everyone works on the internet. And normally hearing those words are sad, but you can bounce back from them. You are aware that public grief is a strange beast, made more strange by social media. Countless pieces get written on this phenomena, on participating in grief by sharing articles and ‘liking’ statuses, on whether it means anything. But at the moment, I just can’t be bothered with that kind of analysis. What we feel is real.
And Leonard Nimoy meant something to me.
[I long have, and forever shall be, your friend.]

While he will always be known as Spock, the late Leonard Nimoy was talented in many other ways that didn’t involve space travel. One of the actor’s most interesting and provocative works, for instance, is his 2007 photo collection entitled “The Full Body Project.” Featuring mostly nudes, the series celebrates female beauty by highlighting subjects that do not often conform to the tradition standards of beauty set by Hollywood.
Scroll through to see some of his work, but there are a lot of naked women here so, you know, it’s pretty NSFW.
