Models have long relied on “whisper networks” to keep each other safe and in the know about predatory figures in the modelling industry. With the rise of social media and its popularity among newer models looking for gig work, the whisper networks have evolved into Instagram pages like @ShitModelMgmt. Since it’s online, Shit Model Management is a more accessible incarnation of the model whisper networks, which were often out of reach for newer models. Many models consider it a definitive repository for bad actors in the industry. Read full article here

‘Ghostly’ neutrinos provide new path to study protons
In groundbreaking research, an international collaboration of scientists from the University of Rochester have used a beam of neutrinos to measure the size and shape of the protons that make up the nuclei of atoms. This feat, once thought impossible, provides scientists with a new way of looking at the small components of an atom’s nucleus and opens up a wealth of new information about the structure of an atom’s nucleus and the dynamics of the forces that affect neutrino interactions. The researchers solved the challenge of harnessing neutrinos in large numbers by using a neutrino detector containing a target of both hydrogen and carbon atoms, and over nine years of data collection at Fermilab’s accelerator.
