Farewell to Angel, the best cat ever and my little buddy for over 20 years. We started and finished my PhD, my postdoc, and over a decade at Cambridge. She was 21 and loved the sunshine, sitting on my lap, sleeping on my head, and getting white fur all over my black clothes. More pics to come:

The most valuable degree for the world at this moment in history isn’t STEM- it’s a gender studies degree
