Hey SoCal! This week, the Academy Awards announced this year’s Oscars contenders. And the nominees are… not Gaga. But if you’ve been snubbing current events the way the Academy snubbed Mother Monster, don’t sweat it. Mike Ciriaco is bringing it back to your brain with this week’s Deja News.

The main issue appears to be teacher pay, with union officials saying they’ve worked without a contract for two years, while the district has spent money on various campus improvements.

A study released Monday by the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County found fragmentary fossils provide reliable information on the evolution of species.
The study, led by Hank Woolley, a graduate student-in-residence at the museum’s Dinosaur Institute, examined incomplete fossils and sought to discover which species they came from, what were the organism’s closest evolutionary relatives at the time and how the ancient organisms relate to organisms alive in the modern day.
