A recent study conducted by Lance Price of the Translational Genomics Research institute (TGen) and his colleagues, showed that circumcision lowers the chances of contracting HIV. They conducted a detailed genetic analysis of microbes among a group of Ugandan men using the latest technology, before circumcision and again a year later after circumcision. The results were pretty dramatic. Circumcised men carried way fewer bacteria that contribute to easier HIV entrance by lowering the immune defenses than uncircumcised men. Circumcision lowers the risk of transmitting HIV by as much as 50%.

The University of Wisconsin-Madison has been holding an annual Cool Science Image contests for three years now, and the 2013 collection is quite impressive. These images are meant to break the boundaries between art and science. "The motivation was to provide a venue and greater exposure for some of the artful scientific imagery we encounter," says Terry Devitt, the coordinator of the contest. "We see a lot of pictures that don’t get much traction beyond their scientific context and thought that was a shame, as the pictures are both beautiful and serve as an effective way to communicate science."

Ottawa, Ontario-based photographer Daniel Picard has created a very realistic set of photos that show us the secret life of Hollywood toys. Called 1:1 Toys, the series, which puts Picard in the "director's seat," is shot all around his hometown. It all started out when, one day, Picard noticed a field whee he wanted to shoot a model in a dress. "The road in front was going to be closed down in two days, for almost a year. So, with no time for a human model, I tried shooting it with a robot I had just bought, the first of my collection. I liked the result so much, that it was the beginning of not only my toy series but my interest in building a fun toy collection."
