Summary

Google's Campus Tel Aviv hosted a unique nine-week course called Campus for Moms, designed to accommodate mothers with babies while they explore the startup world by covering topics like cloud computing, legal, and financial advice, with the course culminating in presentations to potential investors. Remarkably, during this period, four participants also gave birth. In another intriguing development, recent studies reveal that chimps and orangutans possess remarkable memory retention, recalling events years apart, suggesting advanced cognitive abilities among primates. Additionally, the long-running pitch drop experiment at Trinity College Dublin finally concluded, after 70 years, with video evidence showing tar pitch behaving as a liquid and forming drops, marking a significant moment in scientific observation.
