What's Alive on Campus: Melia azedarach - Persian Lilac

http://whats-alive-on-campus.blogspot.com/2009/01/chinaberry-persian-lilac-bead-tree.html

What's Alive on Campus. Thursday, January 22, 2009. Melia azedarach - Persian Lilac. Persian Lilac (Chinaberry, Bead Tree, "zanzalacht" in Arabic). When approaching campus from gate 5 you will see rather bare looking trees with white painted trunks lining the fence on either side. I must confess that even I do not find them very aesthetically attractive right now. Remember the " aliens. I met on campus last month as they were reading the caravan?

What's Alive on Campus: February 2009

http://whats-alive-on-campus.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html

What's Alive on Campus. Saturday, February 14, 2009. This evening I managed to photograph a bulbul for the second time on campus. Apparently, they are difficult to capture, so I am particularly pleased. The bulbul conjures fantasy images and mystic feelings because it occurs in many eastern tales. In Arabic, we often use the name bulbul for members of the bulbul family as well as (mistakenly) for nightingales. Be that as it may, I like bulbuls and love their call. Posted by Moshira Hassan.

What's Alive on Campus: October 2008

http://whats-alive-on-campus.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html

What's Alive on Campus. Saturday, October 25, 2008. A Fox on Campus. We had a fox on campus (1. A real, live, red fox visited us. A beautiful creature many of us think, how exciting, and what a privilege to be this close! Somehow a lot of people seem to believe that foxes are dangerous. Hey Bio-Club, Environmental Club! City people happen to often be fearful of "wild creatures", too many fairy tales and monster stories surround them You should start an awareness campaign! Posted by Moshira Hassan. We wou...

What's Alive on Campus: The problem, apparently, is not purple cows but yellow ducks.

http://whats-alive-on-campus.blogspot.com/2008/12/problem-apparently-is-not-purple-cows.html

What's Alive on Campus. Wednesday, December 17, 2008. The problem, apparently, is not purple cows but yellow ducks. The other day, when I was explaining the aim of this blog to a friend of mine, I told him the very illustrating example of how city kids think that cows were purple because of the advertisement for a particular brand of chocolate. The study wonderfully demonstrated how we city folks are alienated. From the natural world! From the official Milka website, translated from German). See also Wik...

What's Alive on Campus: Martians read the Caravan

http://whats-alive-on-campus.blogspot.com/2008/12/martians-read-caravan.html

What's Alive on Campus. Monday, December 1, 2008. Martians read the Caravan. Sunday morning I arrived to class a bit late. I couldn't help it. It was delightful to cross the courtyard under the Department of Biology. Trees had been planted. Finally! Continuing to the next courtyard with a great smile pasted on my face, I noticed that different trees had been planted here (more on the trees of both courtyards later). Are you visiting us from planet Mars? Clad in their green DDC. Posted by Moshira Hassan.

What's Alive on Campus: December 2008

http://whats-alive-on-campus.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html

What's Alive on Campus. Thursday, December 25, 2008. People often wish for a "white Christmas" and decorate things accordingly, but the "true colors" of Christmas, at least in Germany, are often green and red. What then, could be better suited than a pomegranate plant? By the way, the sweetness, slight acidity, and intensive taste of the fruit are ideal for jellies. Use the juice of the pomegranates (without the seeds). Make sure to use about 25 to 30% more pectin (or gelatin) and/or sugar than f...The o...
