The It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia Landmark That Appeared On Buffy The Vampire Slayer
According to IMDb, "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" was filmed in and around California. Its sets included Torrance High School, which served as the stand-in for Sunnydale High School, as well as the Angelus-Rosedale Cemetery, Castle Green Apartments, and California State University, Northridge, just to name a few of the real-life locations utilized by the show. However, could a location in "Buffy" go on to become an iconic landmark in the modern comedy classic "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia?" Was Philadelphia, like the town of Sunnydale where much of "Buffy" takes place, also built on a hellmouth? That would certainly explain some of the characters' actions on "Always Sunny." --Looper
To retain and inspire LGBT+ physicists, welcome them
Other researchers have looked across the sciences at how openness about queer identity correlates with publication rates. In two surveys, Jeremy Yoder, an evolutionary biologist at California State University, Northridge, and two colleagues found that “folks who describe themselves as not able to fully express themselves report higher workplace stress, less satisfaction, and less sense of belonging,” says Yoder. Those factors, in turn, reduce productivity, he says. Their first survey, conducted in 2013, included 633 LGBT+ scientists. In 2016 the researchers surveyed 1116 LGBT+ scientists and, for comparison, 629 scientists who were cisgender and straight. They discuss both surveys in a March 2022 paper. --Physics Today
