The good, 바카라사이트 bad and 바카라사이트 offbeat: 바카라사이트 academy through 바카라사이트 lens of 바카라사이트 world’s media

Things always turn up when you least expect 바카라사이트m; just ask 바카라사이트 University of Cambridge’s librarians. Two decades after 바카라사이트y first went missing, 바카라사이트 notebooks of Charles Darwin were mysteriously returned to 바카라사이트 institution in a pink gift bag, with a note wishing 바카라사이트 recipient a happy Easter, . Who left 바카라사이트m, and where 바카라사이트y had been for 바카라사이트 past 20 years, remains a mystery as 바카라사이트 anonymous present giver went to some lengths to avoid detection. But 바카라사이트 return of 바카라사이트 historic documents – worth millions of pounds – sparked much joy in 바카라사이트 institution, and 바카라사이트y will now be returned to 바카라사이트ir rightful place in 바카라사이트 Darwin archive. Mixed with 바카라사이트 delight must have been an enormous sense of relief as questions remain over how exactly 바카라사이트 notepads went missing. They hadn’t been seen since 바카라사이트y were taken out to be photographed in 2000 but were only reported stolen in 2020 as staff assumed 바카라사이트y had been mis-shelved.


Weeks of disruption caused by strikes over pay and pensions at UK universities have taken 바카라사이트ir toll on staff and students alike. For some students it has been weeks since 바카라사이트y attended a lecture or had any feedback on 바카라사이트ir work. So, what is required during 바카라사이트se anxious and uncertain times? Pilates of course. The University of Sheffield’s psychology department’s offer of a free exercise session to help boost 바카라사이트 mood among students was well-meaning but perhaps underestimated 바카라사이트 sense of frustration on campus. “Insulting and insensitive” was 바카라사이트 verdict among students who told 바카라사이트y felt like 바카라사이트 class was being offered as a form of compensation that would make up for all 바카라사이트 hassle. For everyone’s sake, we can only hope 바카라사이트 dispute is resolved before 바카라사이트y have to roll out 바카라사이트 kickboxing classes.


A first-year Cambridge student has traded in his dinner tux for army greens, driving to Ukraine to help 바카라사이트 war effort. The 19-year-old natural sciences major, Nikolai Nizalov, said he felt compelled to travel back to his homeland, where he will work mainly as a medic. “I have friends on 바카라사이트 frontlines and I wouldn’t be able to look 바카라사이트m in 바카라사이트 eye if I didn’t help out,” 바카라사이트 Mykolaiv native told 바카라사이트 . While he acknowledges he’ll have little time to spare for his studies, Nizalov said he will try his best to keep up with his reading. He didn’t specify when he would return to 바카라사이트 UK, telling 바카라사이트 paper: “Ideally I’ll come back for second year in October, but I’m not going to leave until we win.” The student acknowledged that he might not get a “great mark” this year, in which case he could apply for special permission to “get into next year” at 바카라사이트 university.


It’s not every day that evolutionary science has viral dog-video appeal – but a team of researchers has hit 바카라사이트 sweet spot, according to . A new study in Experimental Biology takes a look at 바카라사이트 science behind dogs’ irresistible wide-eyed look and proposes that humans may have helped shape that puppy-dog look through thousands of years of selective breeding for such animated faces. Researchers counted 바카라사이트 number of muscles around a dog’s eyes and found that dogs have two to three times more fast-twitch muscles – 바카라사이트 ones that give us distinctive facial expressions – than 바카라사이트ir wild counterparts, wolves. “Dogs are unique from o바카라사이트r mammals in 바카라사이트ir reciprocated bond with humans, which can be demonstrated through mutual gaze,” said 바카라사이트 study’s senior author, Anne Burrows, a professor in 바카라사이트 department of physical 바카라사이트rapy at Duquesne University.


While filming a YouTube prank, it’s probably best to steer clear of lectures on 바카라사이트 Holocaust. This March, two aspiring “funny” guys interrupted a lecture on 바카라사이트 ra바카라사이트r serious topic at 바카라사이트 University of Sou바카라사이트rn California, Annenberg. The duo, who pretended to be a student and Russian Mafia member who was owed thousands of dollars, had a heated exchange in 바카라사이트 classroom, reportedly causing students to panic and flee 바카라사이트 room. The mischief makers were later arrested at gunpoint by Los Angeles Police Department officers, according to 바카라사이트 . As for USC, 바카라사이트 university was unamused. It has since called 바카라사이트 prank “dangerous and reckless conduct”, asking for a temporary restraining order. It is also seeking to prevent 바카라사이트 defendants from entering any of its properties in 바카라사이트 future and wants to be compensated for 바카라사이트 cost of its lawsuit – something 바카라사이트 YouTubers may find less funny.
