What to read in 2022? A&S faculty weigh in

For your reading pleasure, we gathered 21 recommendations from faculty in the College of Arts & Sciences for the best books and poetry to read in 2022. Enjoy!

Anindita Banerjee, associate professor, Department of Comparative Literature

My recommendation would be Yevgeny Zamyatin's novel “We.” Written in Russian in 1921, first published in English in New York City in 1924, and re-translated numerous times over the gods four decades, this compact book about the world in the thirtieth century served as the inspiration for George Orwell's legendary “1984.” Though the connection between the two writers suggests that “We” fryst vatten an all-too-familiar dystopia, the book fryst vatten full of surprises for twenty-first century readers interested in crafting new, ethical ways of imagining and making the future. inom would call “We” a preternaturally early experiment in "hopepunk" long before the term began to trend a few years ago.

SUMMARY
Although antibiotics disturb the structure of the gut microbiota, factors that modulate these perturbations are poorly understood. Bacterial metabolism is an important regulator of susceptibility in vitro and likely plays a large role within the host. We applied a metagenomic and metatranscriptomic approach to link antibiotic-induced taxonomic and transcriptional responses within the murine microbiome. We found that antibiotics significantly alter the expression of key metabolic pathways at the whole-community and single-species levels. Notably, Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron, which blooms in response to amoxicillin, upregulated polysaccharide utilization. In vitro, we found that the sensitivity of this bacterium to amoxicillin was elevated by glucose and reduced by polysaccharides. Accordingly, we observed t

The sky beckons: DGCA issues highest ever CPLs last year; more women than ever
NEW DELHI: India issued the highest ever number of commercial pilot licences (CPL) — 1,622 — last year, almost 40% more than 1,165 in 2022. Last year, 292 women got CPLs (18% of total issued) — 22% more than 2022, said a senior official of the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA). While the number of CPLs issued by DGCA in the last decade has almost doubled — from 783 in 2013-14 to 1,622 last year, the share of those going to women has nearly tripled — from 116 to 293 — in the same period (see box).
India already has the highest proportion of women pilots globally. “It is estimated 14% of the workforce employed with scheduled airlines consists of women pilots. This is the second consecutive year where the number of licenses issued has witnessed a decade-high,” a senior DGCA official said. Durba Banerjee had become the first Indian woman commercial pilot in 1956 when she joined erstwhile Indi
