This collaboration is a celebration of sea otters and the magic that comes to life when drag queens channel their ocean inspiration. It's also a beautiful reminder of the power of showing up as yourself. Because the ocean needs you, exactly as you are. Stay otter this world with us.🌈🦦🌎

At UC Berkeley this week and this campus is a Disney movie. There’s a squirrel calmly eating a cookie in the faculty club lounge and a baby deer hanging out by the door. I expect talking bears to greet me in the library tomorrow

Discovery of a 14-protein biomarker that predicts lung cancer 5.6 years before it is diagnosed, even in non-smokers, and an anti-inflammatory medicine that prevents its progression. And, challenging dogma, the proteins are not coming from cancerous cells!
