Climate-fueled wild fires continue to ravage the West Coast, with Washington, Oregon, and California experiencing massive destruction.

A record 2.5 million acres have burned in California, nearly 20 times the amount of land burned by this time last year.

In Washington, communities have been devastated, while hundreds of homes have been destroyed in Oregon.

As of Thursday morning, President Trump has yet to provide a public statement on the historic wildfires. Trump has repeatedly said global warming is a ‘hoax,’ and he repealed Pres. Obama’s signature climate policy.

When wildfires raged across California in August, Trump blamed the state, saying, ‘You gotta clean your floors, you gotta clean your forests — there are many, many years of leaves and broken trees and they’re like, like, so flammable, you touch them and it goes up.’

Lecture

Getting a competitive internship

Skipping lab for illegitimate reasons

When someone says they studied for a lab exam

When someone asks us why we chose animal science as a major

When someone asks us what kind of job we’ll have after college

“I was going to major in AS, but I switched my major to Business.”

I used my study break to make this

[Image description: A meme labeled ‘Reasons to Study Geology’, under which are two pictures of John Mulaney. In the first, he is pointing and shouting 'No!’ with the words “Geologists make money, discover things about the Earth, help people live safely from natural disasters, work in diverse regions, travel to remote places on Earth, communicate across a range of fields, play a role in city building, environmental safety, highway development, and mining/petroleum industries, and there’s currently a shortage of geoscientists.” In the second picture, Mulaney is pointing and shouting “Yeah”, next to the words “You can eat in the geology lab”]
