Calling all comic book lovers!

Happening off-Campus: Jane Goodall, the pioneering primatologist whose groundbreaking work with chimpanzees transformed the world’s understanding of animal behavior and emotion, has died at the age of 91. The Jane Goodall Institute confirmed she passed away of natural causes in California while on a U.S. speaking tour. Goodall’s decades-long research redefined the relationship between humans and animals, documenting complex emotions, personalities, and social bonds in chimpanzees. Her work not only revolutionized primatology but also opened doors for women in science and conservation worldwide. (CNN)

Happening near Campus: A building partially collapsed in the South Bronx on Wednesday morning after an explosion at a NYCHA housing complex forced residents to evacuate. The blast, believed to have originated in a chimney vent shaft, caused part of a tower at the Mitchel Houses on Alexander Avenue and East 137th Street to give way. Fortunately, no injuries or fatalities were reported. Firefighters and city officials responded swiftly, shutting off gas to the building as they investigated a possible gas leak. A temporary shelter has been set up nearby as authorities assess the structural damage and continue their investigation. (Gothamist)
