Georgia Tech was recently recertified as a Level II Arboretum — a botanical collection of trees and plants.
Our campus has more than 130 different species and 15,000 trees — some over 100 years old! Happy #EarthDay26! 🌎🌳🐝 #WeCanDoThat | c.gatech.edu/4dXw5VU

Paper alert!
Cognitive ethology of nest building in a shell-dwelling cichlid
Swantje Grätsch et al. found that L. ocellatus builds nests through an innate behavioral sequence, which is orchestrated by a series of stimulus-response loops.

Posting a preprint: biorxiv.org/content/10.64898…, a new approach to understand the evolution of cell types in the vertebrate forebrain. Identifies deep cellular ancestry of neurogenesis, social behaviors and human disease. will be useful for other organs/traits.

Monday's astronomical high tide was enough to overtop the walkway to the Wiggly Bridge and float some ice chunks over it. Fourth image is from Long Sands Beach with the Nubble Lighthouse peaking out on the right.

Paulding County is a cornerstone of the GOP coalition in Georgia. Trump carried it last year with 62% of the vote. Tonight it was near evenly split. Democrats won huge in metro ATL and cut margins dramatically in Republican-friendly exurbs to flip PSC races. #gapol

BREAKING:
A federal judge issues an injunction BLOCKING the Trump admin from freezing Harvard's funding, calling the antisemitism excuse "a smokescreen for a targeted, ideologically-motivated assault on this country’s premier universities."
