New NOAA sanctuary just dropped?!?

In April 2019, in response to a community-based sanctuary nomination, NOAA announced its intent to designate a new national marine sanctuary in New York's eastern Lake Ontario.

The proposed sanctuary would celebrate the area's unique history and heritage and provide a national stage for promoting tourism and recreation. NOAA welcomes your input about the proposal during the public comment period which ends tomorrow! To learn how you can submit your comments, visit: https://sanctuaries.noaa.gov/lake-ontario/.

My professor: “If you woke up one morning and were now a neutrophil, what would you do?”

Me, internally, knowing neutrophils are super aggressive: I would choose violence

Today in Science History:

The first nuclear reactor, dubbed Chicago Pile-1, was constructed on a squash court underneath the University of Chicago by a team led by Italian physicist Enrico Fermi. It was made of of a “pile” of uranium, graphite (used as a moderator) and cadmium control rods, which act as neutron absorbers to “control” or “slow down” the reaction. It first achieved a self sustaining nuclear reaction on December 2nd, 1942 at 3:25 pm.
