How tattoos could be boosting your immune system
Mic – Oct. 3
Scientists have been curious about the effect that tattoos have on the immune system for a while. Christopher Lynn, an anthropologist at the University of Alabama, published research in 2016 suggesting that getting tattooed may boost your body’s immune response and make you less susceptible to common infections, like colds. How’s that, you ask? Long story, short: Tattoos are wounds and when your body is hurt, your immune system swoops in like a cellular superhero that fights infections in not just the tattoo, but throughout the whole body.

Black actors take center stage in “Intimate Apparel”
Crimson White – Oct. 3
Penned by two-time Pulitzer Prize winner Lynn Nottage, the University’s production of “Intimate Apparel” is showing this week at Marian Gallaway Theatre. The production features a majority-black cast, which excites many actors involved in the UA Department of Theatre and Dance. Alexa Nunn, a junior majoring in theatre who plays Mayme, a New York prostitute and Esther’s close friend, thinks it’s a step in the right direction. “As an actor, it’s hard,” Nunn said. “Growing up, I remember going to audition rooms in middle school and high school, knowing I wasn’t going to get a role because I don’t look like Cinderella, or I don’t look like whoever. So coming into this space, it was a different type of confidence I had, and it was really needed in this educational theatre environment.”
