Saturday assorted links
1. New York Film Festival looks strong this year.
2. Tattoo artists in Japan no longer need medical licenses.
4. Messi vs. Massi: “Footballer Lionel Messi can register his name as a trademark after a nine-year legal battle, the EU’s top court has ruled.”
5. Day one of voting the polity that is Fairfax.
6. The making of a Harvard department chair (somewhat depressing, actually). “Nearly half of the 40 department chairs in Harvard’s Faculty of Arts and Sciences received tenure within Harvard and nearly three-quarters have been teaching at the University for more than 15 years, an analysis by The Crimson found.”
7. The importance of protein folding, with a role for citizen scientists too (New Yorker).
