A new UN report from 150 biodiversity experts from 50 countries paints a frightening picture: our global ecosystems are on the verge of collapse. In short, the report says we need to protect nature—or nature is going to stop protecting us. https://t.co/PGpS7tixno

So proud of our @UI_History students! They've created podcasts and museum exhibits commemorating the 1919 Douglas Starch Works explosion in CR. Check out their presentations @BrucemoreSite next Saturday! https://t.co/kBEsrF94Rr

@ambettine @ObermannCenter @TeresaMangum Congratulations!!!

@lynneguist ... this is fascinating but I'm mostly stuck on the fact that apparently a lot of people say "sliver of cake" instead of "slice of cake"???

Went to check why this name was displaying oddly in the @ProgramEraProj prototype app and turns out the last name is literally "Null". Hmmm

@KWaldenPhD Congratulations!!! 😄

@AmyHildrethChen There are times when people come in and say they want to do "data visualizations", but have no data. I'm coming to suspect what they may really mean is "How can I convey my ideas graphically?", but they don't have the vocabulary for it.

[Nikki JD White @nikjdwhite]

@hskettler @TheStudio_UI same! <3 It's so great to see you on the daily again! :)

[Midwest vs. The Rest @midwestern_ope]

Turnitin to Be Acquired by Advance Publications for $1.75B.

So, that's what all that student Intellectual property is worth. How much of that $1.75B do you think is going to the students who have fed their database for years? I have a pretty good guess: zero billion.

[Nikki JD White @nikjdwhite]

@JudithMPascoe nice! I'd appreciate those too if a public recording can't be posted - I found the conversation fascinating and I'd love to share it with a couple of our students!
