Students at the University of Arizona planned a Gaza protest on campus, but pulled it. AdvertisementAdvertisementThe pro-Palestinian group Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) axed a planned a Gaza protest on the University of Arizona's campus on Thursday. It said the event couldn't go ahead safely after the university's president condemned the protest as "antithetical to our university's values." The university's president, Robert Robbins, then released an open letter the next day, sharing the institution's support for Israel. He also denounced statements made by SJP, saying the organization had supported Hamas, which he deemed "antithetical to our university's values."

Female saurona butterflies have slightly more rounded wings than males, but are otherwise similar in pattern, the authors found. Giving newly described genera or species names drawn from pop culture can draw attention to underappreciated species, Huertas said.
