Hunters in Nunavut are urging Baffinland’s Mary River Mine to alter its shipping plan, as the mine’s ships and ice-breaking activities are negatively impacting narwhal populations. Narwhal is a vital food source for the Inuit living around Eclipse Sound, and hunters say there is hardly enough to feed their families.

Now, his image earns millions for the university that he co-founded, the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, which maintains “extremely aggressive and litigious” control over it. With a patchwork of laws governing ‘publicity rights,’ which didn’t exist as a concept when Einstein died, the situation has ignited endless legal clashes.

A Black doctor tried to diversify medicine. Then she lost her job. After Hurricane Katrina, Princess Dennar made history as the first Black woman to run a physician residency program at Tulane University. In 2020, she made history again, this time by suing Tulane for racial and gender discrimination. Her white male bosses had “subverted” and “actively undermined” her leadership for years “to force her to resign,” she alleged, and young Black women training under her were suffering the consequences.
