    I live in #Texas, and attend a #public #university

    Last fall, I took a #course titled "Introduction to #ClimateChange," a #geology course
    offered by the #geosciences Department.

    I need six #science #credits for my #major. The #instructor is temporary #faculty, and super awesome so he's still teaching this course this semester.

    Probably because #GregAbbott and his buddies are busy with the upcoming #elections, and pretending to #oppose #dataCenters seems more important right now.

    #Professor #AmyJillLevine was elected at the 88th annual meeting and will serve as #CBA president for the 2026–2027 year.

    #Levine is a #NewTestament #scholar. She is currently #University Professor Emerita of #Vanderbilt #DivinitySchool and also the Rabbi Stanley M. Kessler Distinguished Professor of New Testament and #JewishStudies at the #HartfordInternational University for #Religion and Peace.

    She has #authored or co-authored over twenty #books..."
