(PhysOrg.com) -- If you are a graduate student, you are more than likely aware of the popular Piled Higher and Deeper, or PHD, Comics created by Jorge Cham. These comics cover the everyday struggles that scientists face while in grad school in a humorous and accurate depiction. For the last year, grad students around the world have found themselves missing their regular comics, it now appears that creator Jorge Cham had a very good reason for the comic going MIA. He has been working with a team of grad students from California Institute of Technology, or Caltech, to create a live-action film where the characters of his comic strip come alive.More, including a trailer for the film and a link to the film's website, at the link in the headline. If you want to cut to the chase and locate a screening, there is a map here.

Experts and patriots are enraged:
ReplyDeleteThe crazies secretly maneuvered more wealth into their pockets
In the last year, than they did in the last 185 years!
Meaning the top 1% now own as much wealth as half the world
Just 5 years ago the filthy rich were 388.
As of January 2016 there’s only 62 people who own
HALF the world!

No living soul can spend that much money in a lifetime…
And when people sits on money,
The economy stalls.
