A Berkeley homeowner who spends half his time at his second home in New Zealand used a California environmental law passed by Ronald Reagan to cut enrollment at one of the best universities in the world.

This sentence is unbelievable, yet somehow entirely factually accurate.

IMPORTANT UPDATE! “We concluded that the detections of SARS-CoV-2-related viruses in #pangolins are most likely a result of their exposure to infected people, wildlife, or other animals *after* they entered illegal #WildlifeTrade”-Jimmy Lee, @EcoHealthNYC https://t.co/IYJkGePf2B

sea urchins protect themselves by putting rocks and shells on their "heads" so apparently if u give them tiny hats they will put them on and wear them

It's sad to see schools that claim to "prioritize" equity and accessibility force students requesting fee waivers to turn their applications in 7 days earlier, giving students of higher socioeconomic status a leg up in the application process. Like, do better.

did you know that the reason tattoos remain visible for so long is bc of MACROPHAGES?

I thought it was bc the ink stained long-living fibroblasts, but no! dermal macrophages phagocytose the ink and store it in vacuoles, where it is still visible from the surface.

[Faith De Amaral @FaithDeAmaral]

The number of people who are against this for some reason??? Gtfo no one wants you here

UC Berkeley's LeConte and Barrows halls lose their names.

The decision was made in response to growing awareness of the controversial legacies of the halls’ namesakes that clash with UC Berkeley’s mission and values.

Oh btw I'll probably use Twitter a bit more now that it feels like instagram is just trying to get me to buy stuff. I haven't really used my account since like 2013 so here's a picture of my cat
