For anyone (STEM-majors […]

It is Sunday, my dudes, so why would you do anything today except come to Bwog’s second open meeting of the semester, at 9 pm, in Lerner 510? Now that you’ve firmed up your spring semester schedule, ignore all of the work you have for those five classes and join us for snacks, pitches, and (when […]

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: This Wednesday, Toyin Ojih Odutola, Barnard’s Lida A. Orzeck […]

On Columbia’s underslept campus in the city that never sleeps, late-night eats are usually the highlight of the night. But late at night when your decision-making skills are depleted and your stomach is growling, it’s hard to decide where to pick up a cheap plate of steaming greasy cheese or carbs. Here, Bwog pairs parties […]

You read our “Campus buildings as forms forms of contraception post” (or we hope you did). Here’s our next in the series. We hope you enjoy, and learn something too (about coffee, or sexual health). Remember: STI = sexually transmitted infection. Blue Java Cafe = Yeast Infection. Technically not an STI, but we are including it. Not […]

After a semester of living together, I’ve come to the conclusion that one of the signs of an impending apocalypse is a night where my roommate comes back to our room before me. No matter if it’s the weekend or a week day, no matter if I get back 8 pm or 3 am, she’s still […]

Yesterday afternoon in Hamilton 503, the Classics Department kicked off its semester of Classics Colloquia in style.

Bwog Science Editor, Alex Tang, attended the Bio Department’s Horwitz Prize Lecture, and introduces us to the role of the gut bacteria in childhood nutrition. Among his gathered insights: glycobiologists are a valuable, endangered species, and poop can tell us a lot about ourselves. More seriously, a viable solution to childhood undernutrition could be simpler […]

Lucy Danger (who loves Call Me By Your Name and Timotheé Chalamet, mostly unironically) and Idris O’Neill (who hasn’t seen it, doesn’t care to, and just wants to make fun of him) contributed to this post. If you loved Call Me By Your Name (or Lady Bird) as much as I did, you probably know that […]

A week into the semester, Bwog received a tip from a concerned reader asking a very topical and important question: how many antidepressant prescriptions are filled at the Duane Reade by campus? Wanting to get to the bottom of the scoop, one Staff Writer decided to put her humanities major to good use and determine the definitive, […]

Track and Field: Both the men’s and women’s track and field teams will compete at the NYC Armory this weekend–the only meet all season on the island of Manhattan. Student tickets are $10, but this might be your only chance […]

Dear Columbia students taking more than twenty credits: It’s not worth it. All six of those classes may seem interesting now, but just think of how exhausted you’ll be in a few weeks when midterms season hits and you have three exams, two papers, and a presentation all within five days of each other. Today […]
