Jane Goodall passed away of natural causes. Sad news indeed. She was a true hero, and her legacy will live on in all students of anthropology, women in science, and lovers of primates. RIP and thank you for everything. 💔

Hope to see everyone next Friday for our annual Science Nite event featuring interactive science exhibits for kids and the young at heart! The anthropology department will display a variety of human, hominin, and primate skeletal specimens, and more!🐒💀

Many of us remember the dreadful days of chemistry, biology and, dare I say it, physics! Well, the Rotary Club of Huntington Beach and Golden West College have teamed to try to not only demystify science but to maybe, just maybe help kids like it.

"For conservation efforts today, this serves as a sobering reminder of the challenges faced by species at the brink of extinction. The woolly mammoths’ story is not just a tale of survival but also one of vulnerability. It reminds us that while science can illuminate the past, the intricate dance between genetics, environment, and luck continues to shape the natural world."

The fate of the woolly mammoth is a story shaped by survival, isolation, and one final mystery still unsolved. Once scattered across the sweeping tundras of the Ice Age, these towering animals thrived in cold, open landscapes. But as the ice receded and their habitat shrank, their numbers thinned. I...

Many of these intricate designs, only visible from the sky, have long eluded full...
