Ella Purnell
There’s a common thread among Ella Purnell’s roles: survival. “I really like thinking about the end of the human rope—the extremities you can push yourself to,” the 27-year-old English actress says. “I love taking characters and either completely destroying them, breaking them down, or building them up.” The latest in Purnell’s growing collection of characters is Lucy MacLean of Fallout, Amazon’s ambitious video game series adaptation. Born generations after a nuclear apocalypse, Lucy is sheltered and unwaveringly positive. She’s “Ned Flanders mixed with Leslie Knope,” Purnell says, “but she could also kill you.” When Lucy’s father is kidnapped, she goes on a solo mission to find him. The atrocities that await her are many—mutated monsters and an undead bounty hunter among them—and Purnell likes it that way. “I really just want to get down and dirty,” she says. “I want to see what’s inside, not just surface level.”—Erica Gonzales

How to Antiage Your Dog- Could a new pill help dogs (and us) live longer?
Celine Halioua is a dog lover who studied neuroscience and nanobiotechnology. Her thesis is that the short lifespan of big dogs is like "an accelerated aging disorder, an unintended consequence of historical inbreeding for size." In an effort to correct genetic mistakes, Loyal's drug LOY-001 reduces insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1), a biomarker hormone, also present in humans, that drives cell growth and is key to regulating the aging process. The hope is that it will slow down this process to a more sustainable rate, so that big dogs can have more healthy years. The injectable medication would be given by a vet every three to six months, starting at age seven, for dogs 40 pounds and up. Clinical trials are now underway for LOY-002, a daily pill for older dogs of nearly all but the smallest breeds. "Research is ongoing, but we think they will help dogs get at least one extra year of healthy living," Halioua says.
Hoyeon Takes Hollywood - With her first English-speaking role with an A-list director, the model and Squid Game alum is proving she's here to stay.
With her first English-speaking role with an A-list director, the model and Squid Game alum is proving she's here to stay. Her debut acting role in Squid Game made her a breakout star in 2021 for her magnetic performance as Kang Sae-byeok, a North Korean defector with an "I'm not here to make friends" iciness, who participates in the deadly competition to provide for her little brother. A year later, she won a Screen Actors Guild Award for Female Actor in a Drama Series. Now she has 18.8 million followers on Instagram and fans all over the world. (When a group of NYC teenage girls wearing baggy jeans spot her outside the Chinatown coffee shop we've moved to post-steak, they quiver and audibly freak out.)
