Since March 2020, Clark College students, faculty and staff members have felt stranded on an iceberg above the treacherous waters caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
While that iceberg continues to melt, the Penguins shared their resolve and goals for the future during Thursday’s online State of the College Address.
More than 140 viewers tuned in on YouTube and watched Dr. Karin Edwards, president of Clark College, speak for 30 minutes. Although there was no timetable for a return to in-person learning, Edwards spoke about how Clark responded to COVID-19, budget challenges and advancing racial equality. Associated Students of Clark College President Josiah Joner and 2021 Transforming Lives Award nominee Tosha Big Eagle shared their stories about life on and off campus in this changed reality.

Biodiversity loss caused by climate change is an ever-increasing concern globally. Another significant factor inducing biodiversity loss is the establishment of invasive species, which usually dislodge native species.

A new study has demonstrated that species have the potential to adapt quickly to an invader and that this evolutionary change could have an impact on how they handle a harsh climate.
Our results demonstrate that interactions with competitors, including invasive species, can shape a species’ evolution in response to climatic change.
Critical thinking is dangerous, according to a Times editorial urging readers to vet sources with Wikipedia lest they fall into traps set by evil conspiracy theorists and be tricked into questioning the paper's iron-clad truths. Charlie Warzel, a.

General Motors declared that it will stop making gas-powered cars, trucks and SUVs by 2035, the same year that California will require all vehicles sold in that state to have zero emissions. Some Washington legislators are pushing to make the shift here even sooner, in 2030, in hopes of averting a climate catastrophe.
This isn’t the first time a shiny electric-car future seemed within reach.
