Feminist neuroscientists also develop research approaches for a more gender-appropriate neuroscientific resear...

Overcome with horror at the bloody climax of the battle of Pharsalus, Lucan's narrator threatens to derail his own epic project by wishing tears would perish, and claiming he will stay silent. This assertion – immediately disregarded – illustrates a paradox in Lucan’s text: his work is epic, both in its martial content and its meter, but the nature of civil war disrupts the narrative by provoki...
