Answering questions at Boston College O’Neill Library
It can be helpful to ask what you find exciting about a science career, and if it connects with your talents and goals. The Career Center (bit.ly/BC-career) is also a great place to help you answer these questions.
There are no books currently banned by the United States government on a federal/national level. However, the American Library Association does keep track of bans and challenges on the school/district/state level, which you can find here: https://www.ala.org/bbooks/book-ban-data.

It makes me so happy to see declarations of love!
I’ll miss all of those graduating or going elsewhere, too. If you’re graduating, congratulations!
Hi!

I love these critters. Thank you for leaving me a delightful little treat. I wish I could pet them.
I hear that within fan communities, the “original” ships of Kirk/Spock and Scully/Mulder remain favorites. I also asked one of my Millennial assistants, who said there’s nothing quite like Destiel or Dramione. I’ll lean towards any of those!
Have your friend visit the counseling center (or call 617-552–3310, extension 2) right away and ask for a Psychological Emergency Clinician (PEC). More info: bit.ly/bc-pec.

Sexual orientation is not tied to a single gene.
It depends on the day and on the question.
Oh 🙁 I’m sorry to hear that.
It depends on so many factors that you really ought to have a lot of conversations about it with people whose judgment you trust. In a general sense, it’s OK to do whatever is best for you, of course.
Every college does. It’s a lot to juggle. But it sounds like things didn’t come out the way you wanted, and I’m sorry about that. On the bright side, perhaps your new situation will gift you with a lifelong friend.
Yes. Everyone’s important and everything’s connected. Including you.

Meowl is a beautiful creature! Thank you for this exquisite drawing!
My assistants got me a new dispenser, thanks! But I’m still a little sad that the old one disappeared and hasn’t been returned.
Not all locked buildings are empty. My awesome colleagues in facilities and housekeeping use this time to ensure buildings are well maintained and clean.
“It’s complicated” is the answer to almost any question related to a building that lots of human need to use. It might be that there are people working 24/7 in the space, it might be housekeeping staff, it might be some specialized equipment that needs to be on all the time and that the lights are tied to it. When I’ve asked my friends in facilities about specific buildings at specific times there’s always a reason the lights are on. What makes sense at home doesn’t always work the same way for commercial or academic buildings.
Just hangin’ out, like I do.
There’s nothing quite like being with a friend. I’m sorry they’re away, and hope you can be reunited soon.
Treat it like real grief, because it is. There’s no set timetable for processing a loss, you sort of have to work through it. Talk to friends about what you miss. Do things that make you happy, even if you’re not sure they will right now. Feel your feelings and you’ll move on when you’re ready.
I think you’re great.
