Trailer: Divest Princeton Special Episode Series

The Daily Princetonian — Sun, 18 Apr 2021 07:00:00 -0400

Divestment movements have been around for a while. It started with protests against South African apartheid in the early 1970s, and then evolved into the 2006 protests about Darfur. Today, Divest Princeton is demanding that Princeton University divest from fossil fuels. It’s also targeting Princeton’s deals with huge fossil fuel companies like Exxon and BP.

The Daily Princetonian — Sun, 07 Feb 2021 09:00:00 -0500

For the past three weeks, Princeton students on campus have been spitting in tubes twice a week, putting those tubes into drop boxes not unlike a library deposit, and waiting around a day to find out whether or not they need to quarantine.

And what’s up with the research we students can opt in for? Today, we sit down with Dan Notterman, a lecturer and researcher with the rank of Professor in the Molecular Biology department, to find out more.
