One chronically sober Bwogger decided to do the observational work no one asked for – field notes from a college party. Upon editing, she acknowledges that any academic objectivity was never really an option to begin with. She is not an anthropology or sociology major, and she acknowledges that this probably doesn’t even count as […]

We’re back with Science Fair, Bwog’s weekly curated list of interesting STEM-related talks, symposiums, and events happening on campus.

Let’s just jump right in, and as always, if you enjoyed this content, if you wanna see more, make sure you smash that mf-ing like button and leave a comment down below. Ingredients: […]

Danielle, one of Bwog’s other staff writers, sings the praises of Columbia Law School’s lobby. To her, it’s the perfect studying environment. It’s quiet, but not oppressively so; it’s spacious, but not overwhelming; it’s off-campus, but not really. I, however, never really got behind the idea of wanting to study there. I’m someone who rarely […]

Early Sunday morning, Bwog was tipped video footage that depicts a white man standing in front of Butler Library and making several statements criticized by Twitter users as racist. The video is linked below, and according to Twitter user @blkgirlculture, the man was identified as Columbia sophomore Julian von Abele. The video shows von Abele shouting lines such as, […]

We sat down with some of our favorite philosophers for a symposium. The topic? Bwog in all its forms and glory (ya girl is reviewing for her Lit Hum final!). In the meantime, as reading week nears, take a breather by bringing your best pitches to our open meeting tonight at 9 pm in Lerner […]

Happening in the World: Italian Deputy Prime Minister Salvini held an “Italians First” rally yesterday in Rome, celebrating the six-month success of the far-right Northern League party. Happening in the US: The Trump administration released a plan on Thursday to open nine million acres of land to drilling oil and gas, threatening the habitat of […]

When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one Bwog family to dissolve the political board which has connected them with another, and to create among the powers of Bwog, the separate and equal new board to which the Laws of Nature and of past Alma Bwoggers entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that […]

The Barnard Biology Department recently held its annual honey extraction on Friday, and you’re supposed to go listen to the wonderful Professor Jon Snow talk about his research on bees and honey. Obviously, I went, but didn’t listen to Professor Snow and instead just gorged myself on lots of brie smothered in honey. (Shoutout to […]

New York City is packed with amazing culture and inspiring art, but sometimes it’s difficult to break the Morningside-bubble and experience it all first-hand. “Where Art Thou” is a weekly guide to interesting and notable lectures, events, and performances for the literary/musically/theatrically-inclined on campus. On Campus: Columbia’s Pops Orchestra is performing today at 2:30 in […]

On Friday night, Columbia Astronomy Outreach held their bi-monthly public lecture and stargazing series. Bwogger Mary Clare Greenlees went to find the answer to the old question, does size really matter? Moiya McTrier, a third year Ph.D. student, presented on whether or not size matters when using telescopes, and how it helps with her research […]

Happening in the World: Elvis Presley was stationed in the town of Friedburg, Germany from October 1958 to March 1960 while serving in the United States Army. To celebrate the King of Rock and Roll, Friedberg has used his image to create three pedestrian traffic lights. The ‘walk’ sign has the shadow of Presley dancing, […]

It’s coming. For some, it may even already be here. Finals season is upon us, and if you’re anything like me, you may be a little more open to making reckless choices than you usually would be. If you’ve already committed to one unnecessary choice, what’s one more? And if you haven’t figured out how […]

Last night, senior staffers Betsy Ladyzhets and Sarah Harty had the privilege of attending the Columbia Musical Theater Society’s production of Spring Awakening, a musical about sexual repression gone horribly wrong. The CMTS production was intense, confusing, beautiful, and powerful in equal measures. The doors and programs of the Columbia Musical Theater Society’s production of […]
