More big cuts to Universities and Colleges in Canada/BC.
This time it's smaller colleges in the Interior of BC. Coast Mountain College in Prince Rupert/Northwest, and Selkirk College in the SE/Nelson.
The Hazelton campus of CMC is being closed as is the Fine Arts campus of Selkirk.
All because successive Provincial and Federal governments in Canada thought the gravy-train of International students would last forever, allowing them to redirect funding for Post Secondary to other parts of the budget.
I don't think the system has found the bottom yet, and at the end, it will be Domestic students who suffer most from hugely diminished services at their local, and regional, and national colleges and Universities.

Very good. All public institutions, like universities, should follow suit! Especially those at the forefront of IT.

New Teflon Recycling Method Turns The “Forever Chemical” into Toothpaste  | Happy Eco News
Scientists from Newcastle University and the University of Birmingham developed a room-temperature Teflon recycling method that turns Teflon waste into sodium fluoride using mechanical shaking with sodium metal. The process breaks strong carbon-fluorine bonds without heat or solvents, producing pure sodium fluoride for toothpaste, water treatment, and pharmaceutical applications.

Unprecedented levels of forever chemicals found in dolphins and whales
New research has revealed that marine mammals who live far below the ocean's surface are not immune from the burden of toxic forever chemicals, with whales and dolphins showing unprecedented levels of PFAS contamination.

A once-in-a-generation discovery is transforming a Michigan dairy farm
At first glance, the 400 acres of soybeans growing on the Preston family's dairy farm in southern Michigan looks like a typical field. But these aren't ordinary soybeans. They represent a breakthrough partnership with Michigan State University that's saving the family tens of thousands of dollars a month in livestock feed costs—and it could change the dairy industry forever.

Sequent Calculi for Data-Aware Modal Logics
Data-aware modal logics offer a powerful formalism for reasoning about semi-structured queries in languages such as DataGL, XPath, and GQL. In brief, these logics can be viewed as modal systems capable of expressing both reachability statements and data-aware properties, such as value comparisons. One particularly expressive logic in this landscape is HXpathD, a hybrid modal logic that captures not only the navigational core of XPath but also data comparisons, node labels (keys), and key-based …

Eco-friendly technology removes toxic PFAS from water
Rice University researchers, in collaboration with international partners, have developed the first eco-friendly technology to rapidly capture and destroy toxic "forever chemicals" (PFAS) in water. The findings, recently published in Advanced Materials, mark a major step toward addressing one of the world's most persistent environmental threats.

The Outbursting YSOs Catalogue (OYCAT)
YSOs can display unpredictable and high-amplitude rises in brightness that can last from a few months to possibly over 100 years. These types of outbursts are explained by large changes in the mass accretion rate from the disk onto the central star. The outbursts support to a model of star formation (episodic accretion) where stars would spend most of their lifetimes accreting at low rates, and gain most of their mass through these short-lived accretion outbursts. The universality of episodic a…
