It would be weird if university students weren't protesting something.
There were no interesting big protests when I was in uni. Huge protests the year before I started against some corruption in the student union rep elections, and obviously plenty of times people were angry at one thing or another, but nothing like the full on camping-out protests we've got going on right now.

Oh boy I've always wanted to see a livestream of a seemingly solid object!
Jokes aside, this experiment is really interesting
I was watching it the other day and someone came and waved at the camera. Craziest thing I've ever seen on there, but I didn't think about it for too long, if I did - I would miss the drop.
MSU's 142-year-old Beal Seed Experiment.
@Spitzspot yeah I dunno why exactly the Pitch Drop experiment gets the label "longest continually-running experiment". Probably some kind of technicality about what exactly counts as "experiment" and "continually-running". There are some even older than Beal's listed on Wikipedia, depending on how you define it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long-term_experiment
