Safiya Noble, a professor at UCLA and author of “Algorithms of Oppression,” said Tilly is a continuation of the kind of (emotional) distortions that social media photo filters cause people. “Those distortions, even though they are seemingly unreal, … circulate so much in our culture that they are celebrated and … liked and hearted,” Noble said. “And that certainly has a psychological and emotional toll on us.”

The winds appeared to be in L.A.’s favor this time, said Suzanne Paulson, UCLA atmospheric and oceanic sciences professor. When the explosion occurred, winds were blowing offshore, keeping pollution away from communities. And because of relatively windy conditions through the day, Paulson said the smoke from the fire will dilute more quickly. “None of the data indicate that the smoke impacted the city last night,” Paulson said in a statement.

A longitudinal study led by UCLA anthropologist Molly Fox has found a biological basis for eldest daughter syndrome. While it is not a psychiatric diagnosis, eldest daughter syndrome is a term used to describe the unique pressures and challenges faced by oldest female children because of their gender and birth order. Oldest daughters feel the pressure of perfectionism and high expectations from a young age, which can lead to anxiety and even relationship issues later in life.

The Hammer Museum’s 7th Made in L.A. biennale opened last week, featuring “Buggy Bear Crashes Made in L.A.,” a giant inflatable on the museum’s outdoor sculpture podium. The 25-foot custom creation named by ceramicist and painter Alake Shilling is now perched on the corner of Wilshire and Glendon, and was designed to look like it is about to merge onto Wilshire Boulevard, said Paulina Pochoba, one of Made in L.A. 2025’s curators.
This year’s Made in L.A. includes new and existing work from 27 L.A.-based artists and is wide ranging and multilayered in themes and practices. Sculptural and photographic work created in the 1960s by UCLA alum Pat O’Neill sits steps away from work by the show’s youngest artist, Ali Eyal, whose commissioned painting reflects his experiences growing up in the shadow of the U.S. invasion of Iraq. The exhibit runs through March 1 and lends itself to multiple visits.
