Literal: Dung beetles apparently use the Milky Way to guide their poo-hauling journeys. Maybe they could bring some here to unclog McBain toilets?

Here’s your Saturday afternoon pick-me-up via a fellow student: Abigale Wyatt, GS, is a young officer candidate who was featured in”Breaking Through The Brass Ceiling,” a video from the New York Times.
