Investigation finds no evidence Cambridge Analytica colluded with Russians

October 16, 2020 -

The probe by the U.K. Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) was described by the authority as the largest it had ever undertaken.

Dissolved in 2018, the SCL had group links to Cambridge Analytica. Both companies had been accused by digital rights campaigners and whistleblowers of illegally harvesting personal data that they supposedly used to influence the 2016 U.S. presidential election as well as the Brexit referendum.No further evidence of Russian ...

Cambridge University blocked White students from applying for post-graduate programme

February 28, 2023 -

(Article by Niamh Harris republished from NewsPunch.com)

The initial plan was to exclude white students from a programme that would offer free accommodation on campus for six weeks, as well as an intern’s wage for 35 hours per week while the students trained in research skills.

The scheme would lead up to the students writing a 4,000-word essay giving them “the confidence and skills to apply for postgraduate study and other research careers”.

The plan ...

TWISTED: Cambridge Dictionary updates definition of “woman” and “man” to include transgenders

December 16, 2022 -

The online dictionary gave the following examples: "She was the first trans woman elected to a national office" and "Mary is a woman who was assigned male at birth."

"Our editors carefully studied usage patterns of the word woman and concluded that this definition is one that learners of English should be aware of to support their understanding of how the language is used," a Cambridge Dictionary spokesperson said in a statement. "The first definition at the ...

Cambridge promotes academic who said “White lives don’t matter” to full professorship

June 27, 2020 -

(Article by Paul Joseph Watson republished from Summit.news)

As we highlighted yesterday, the controversy began when Dr Priyamvada Gopal, English academic and Churchill fellow, tweeted, “abolish whiteness” and “I’ll say it again. White Lives Don’t Matter.”

This prompted the launch of a petition to have her fired which currently has almost 15,000 signatures.

However, both the university and media outlets responded by trying to frame a narrative that Gopal was ...

Cambridge University says children as young as 15 should take statins to reduce heart attack risk

September 11, 2024 -

With so many young people developing heart issues due to Operation Warp Speed, medical experts are apparently scrambling for solutions, even going so far as to push dangerous heart medications on young people.

(Related: Did you know that statin drugs are actually mitochondrial toxins that cause heart disease rather than prevent it?)

According to the research team, high or fluctuating cholesterol in childhood can lead to a condition of the heart called atherosclerosis....

Leftist academics trying to crush career of a young Cambridge researcher because he doesn’t subscribe to their ‘groupthink’

December 10, 2018 -

That explains why some 300 liberal extremist academics from the world over have joined an effort to destroy the promising career of a young researcher at Cambridge University, Noah Carl.

As reported by Breitbart, Dr. Carl’s ‘crime’ is that he espouses independent thinking such as supporting the right of all academic researchers to speak out freely and without regard to retribution on intellectual issues that may have political implications (or that have been ...

WOKE INSANITY: Cambridge dictionary redefines “woman” to include any man who cuts off his genitals and puts on a dress

December 15, 2022 -

Officially, the following sentence is now included in the Cambridge Dictionary under the word "woman:"

"An adult who lives and identifies as female though they have been said to have a different sex at birth."

In other words, a deranged guy with man parts who goes to the "doctor" and asks for his reproductive organs to be sliced off, and who possibly replaces them with some kind of abomination meant to mimic female parts, is now considered to be a "woman," ...

When Obama and Facebook teamed up in 2012 that was “technological genius,” but when Trump does the same thing, it’s a “scandal”

March 21, 2018 -

After reading the story you might be tempted to believe that somehow what the consulting firm, Cambridge Analytica, its chief investor, Mercer, and the campaign of Donald J. Trump, did was illegal or, at the very least, wrong.

But in reality, what Mercer’s firm did is nothing less than what the reelection campaign of President Obama did in 2012. And, in fact, you could even say that the Obama campaign had significant amounts of help from Facebook’s uber-liberal ...

“Mind-reading” neurons allow us to simulate the thought process of another person

November 27, 2019 -

A University of Cambridge research team found the specialized neurons in the amygdala of the brain of monkeys. The brain cells reproduced the thought process of a member of the social group that a monkey had previously observed while performing a task.

Understanding the functions of these mind-reading neurons may help researchers improve their grasp of the "theory of mind." Furthermore, the brain cells may contribute to the study and treatment of patients with ...

Pest-eating bats are easing financial pressure on farmers and may help regrow rainforests

July 19, 2019 -

Every year, humans cut down one percent of Madagascar's rainforest cover. They cultivate the cleared land to grow rice, the primary food crop of the country. However, insect pests ruin immense amounts of rice, forcing subsistence farmers to clear away even more rainforest for more rice paddies in a vicious cycle of destruction.

Most animals are negatively affected by the destruction of their habitat and the loss of biodiversity. But researchers at the University of Cambridge found ...

Brain training app claims to improve concentration, but is it better than proper diet and an active lifestyle?

May 19, 2019 -

They developed the app in response to the decreasing attention spans of young people. Increasing amounts of technologies require fast reactions to electronic messages and splitting one's attention between multiple projects at the same time. In turn, this leads to diminished concentration, and the problem becomes worse thanks to stress stemming from a global environment and constant travel, which causes jet lag and poor sleep.

The rise of smartphones has led to an increasing ...

Study: Almost ALL our genes are influenced by the food we eat

December 10, 2018 -

This yeast model was constructed by researchers from the University of Cambridge as well as the FCI. It indicated that the relationship between metabolism and genes are mutual.

Gene activity regulates our metabolic processes. In turn, metabolism produces nutrients that affect the genes in our cells. And when they act together, these two things control the behavior of our cells.

Researchers can learn a lot about an organism after viewing the genome that ...

Lawsuit exposes how the media and deep state hatched the Russiagate hoax

June 01, 2019 -

(Article by Margot Cleveland republished from TheFederalist.com)

Other than a blip of notoriety in 2015 when she won a £3.1 million award in a harassment case against her former employer, the Russian bank Sberbank CIB, Lokhova resided in obscurity at Cambridge University. At Cambridge, Lokhova focused on completing her PhD in Soviet Intelligence Studies under the tutelage of Professor Christopher Andrew.

According to Lokhova’s complaint, all that ...

Researchers discover how your skin regulates blood pressure and heart rate by changing temperature to alter blood flow

December 20, 2017 -

Even though the discovery was made while observing mice, the researchers posit that the same also holds true for humans. The study shows that skin, our largest organ that covers two square meters in humans, aids in the regulation of blood pressure and heart rate, depending on changes in oxygen level of the environment.

High blood pressure is linked to cardiovascular disease like heart attack and stroke. In most cases, causes remain unknown. The condition is often associated ...
