The Superb Owl | PBS Science Video
As we get ready to watch that big football game that my lawyers tell me I’m not allowed to say the name of, let’s celebrate a champion of the bird world: Stealthy and silent owls! Learn how owls fly so silently, how they see in the dark, and how owls’ incredible hearing makes them such superb aerial hunters.

Lu Plauzoles with Korinna Domingo, at SMC Scholarship event. June11, 2017
I spent part of the afternoon with Korinna Domingo, our latest Santa Monica College recipient of the SMBAS Norma Foster Scholarship. As a result, I have come away even more impressed with the community college system. Korinna, a number of years from high school, is transferring to Humboldt State University to study Wildlife Management and Conservation. It has not been an easy path for her as a first-gen college student and she has strong dedication to her major, having experienced the arduous field work of a conservation biologist in tracking felines in the Verdugo Hills. If you, as I do, feel we should add to her scholarship for September, please feel free to click the little donate button to the right of this post or go to her GoFundMe site:(copy and paste this link) HTTP://TINYURL.COM/GT6CNHX

Humans aren’t the only creatures that get frustrated. Squirrels do too. One researcher wants to know, could there be an evolutionary benefit to losing your cool?
