Like many in the greater Caltech community, I’m sure I’m not the only one who was stunned when I heard that Caltech alum Cole Tomas Allen attempted to assassinate President Trump. Already the conspiracy theories have spread throughout the internet. A false flag? After the moon landing was faked, NASA wants us to believe we flew a helicopter on Mars?
Robert Indiana’s LOVE, one of the most recognizable works of 20th-century American art, is set to be part of The Huntington’s permanent collection later this year. Originally created as a drawing in 1964, LOVE turned the everyday word into an iconic symbol.
As Mother’s Day has just passed and Father’s Day is coming up, this issue will talk about parenting in the nonhuman animal world. While all but one photo was taken off campus, a lot of the animals (mostly birds as I am a bird expert) mentioned in this article can be found in the adjacent Pasadena area, so keep your eyes out for spring activity!

While it may look unsightly now, this is only the first step in a multi-year project by the Caltech Facilities department to restore this land’s original, natural beauty.
