“I was always fascinated with rangoli designs and I really wanted to try it out,” says Kuala Lumpur artist Haris Rashid (@harisrashid) reflecting on the experience of creating his first rangoli for a local shopping mall during the annual Hindu holiday of Diwali (or Deepavali), which is observed this week. Many who celebrate the holiday create rangoli with colored rice, flower petals, and other materials on streets and the floors inside homes to bring good luck, and is an essential decorative tradition for this festival of lights. For this particular project, Haris extensively researched the art form and even colored his own rice. “I wanted to make something unique while still keeping the vibe of Deepavali, so I chose a peacock and incorporated my artistic style. It took me three days to finish, but it was a lot of fun!” For more rangoli photos and videos, browse the #rangoli hashtag.

At an early brewery site in Skara Brae, Scotland, archaeologists found residue of a beer made with henbane, hemlock, meadowsweet, and nightshade. Henbane could also produce a feeling of flight, and was a common component in witches’ flying potions. Nightshade, or Belladonna, causes delirious hallucinations. It was also used during the Inquisition to torture some of those same potion-wielding witches into confessing.
Beer could be even more potent than that. Ergot, for example, is powerful stuff. Some Nordic brewers were fond of a parasitic fungus called Claviceps purpurea, or ergot, that grew on rotted barley and rye. Archaeologists have found its tell-tale bloated purplish grains in the guts of buried bog bodies. The fungus shares some of the same chemical compounds as LSD, which can yield wild hallucinations and ecstatic dancing. Doctors call it “convulsive ergotism.” The bad side known as, “gangrenous ergotism,” causes abdominal pain, convulsions, a sensation of burning limbs called St. Anthony’s Fire and, ultimately, death.

The Knick is about a lot of sexy things: there’s cocaine addiction, back-alley cadaver deals, and actual sex. But it’s also full of real-world historical science. The discoveries, the inventions, even the cocaine addiction, are real—a fact that can be both fascinating and horrifying.
Take, for example, “Thackery’s point”—the location Dr. John Thackery (Clive Owen) finds that allows him to safely perform an appendectomy. It wasn’t discovered by the show’s fictitious main character, but it was located by Charles McBurney in roughly the same time period as the show. (It’s still known as “McBurney’s point.”) That crazy nose reconstruction (above) Thackery does for a woman who loses part of her snout to syphilis? That was also a common treatment at the time, having been invented in Italy during the Renaissance and used for years thereafter. The early 1900s, as The Knick shows, was also when X-rays were coming into common usage. (However, people didn’t entirely understand that long-term exposure to radiation could kill you.)

One morning in March, when the first case arrived at the Liberian unit of Japan’s Bridgestone Corp. , managers sat around a rubber-tree table and googled “Ebola,” said Ed Garcia, president of Firestone Natural Rubber Company LLC. Then they built two Ebola isolation clinics, using shipping containers and plastic wrap. They trained their janitors how to bury Ebola corpses. Their agricultural surveyors mapped the virus as it spread house to house, and teachers at the company’s schools went door-to-door to explain the disease.
“It was like flying an airplane and reading the manual at the same time,” said Philippines-born Mr. Garcia, who runs this 185-square-mile stretch of rubber trees.
