“We find that #universities are an established yet under-researched vehicle of climate obstruction by the #FossilFuel industry.”
"The analysis found that oil companies have long influenced universities to focus on #climate efforts that would enshrine a future for fossil fuels, despite experts’ repeated warnings that the world must stop burning coal, oil and gas to avert the worst climate impacts."

Which is it? Oil, coal, gas, or healthy kids? We can’t have them all.
And as long as we don’t choose, Big Oil will keep choosing for us.

This camera can detect wild boars and weasels.
The Camovue is a new outdoor camera from the folks behind Reolink that can send alerts when it detects specific animals.
It can spot up to 12 species, including wild boar, deer (bucks and does), mountain lions, elk, ducks, weasels, cattle, goats, turkeys, raccoons, and foxes.
The company says it's working on adding more critter-spotting capabilities. The camera is slated for launch later this year.
Scottish biochemist & physiologist John Macleod was born #OTD in 1876.
Macleod shared the 1923 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with Frederick Banting for their work on insulin. Although Banting and Best are often credited with the discovery of insulin, Macleod’s role was crucial. He provided the experimental design and supervised the research, ensuring the success of the experiments and he helped refine the purification process for insulin, making it viable for medical use.

MIT has not one but two building named after the Koch brothers (and it's not just because they were alums).
Room 54-100 is now called the "Shell auditorium".
WTF.
Building 54 is the home of Course 12, Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Sciences. To hijack its main lecture hall is -- something.
And those are only the visible parts.
MIT has also resisted calls to divest from fossil fuels, for instance
