Would you guess that these jelly-like organisms are more closely related to humans than they are to jellyfish? Sea salps are tunicates and members of the phylum Chordata, which also encompasses vertebrates and cephalochordates. Jellyfish, on the other hand, are a part of the phylum Cnidaria, which includes the likes of corals and sea anemones. There are more than 45 species of salps that inhabit much of the world’s oceans. As filter feeders, they mainly consume phytoplankton but will also snack on other tiny particles that might float their way. Salps eat by pumping water into their mouths and out of their atrial openings, propelling themselves as they feed.

On #ThisDayInHistory in 1957, a mob of furious white people assembled to prevent nine Black students from entering Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas. The Black students had trained for this moment. But nothing could prepare them for the screaming, taunting crowd that surrounded the school. The nine students did not make it to school that day. Later that month, President Dwight Eisenhower intervened and the nine students - Minnijean Brown, Elizabeth Eckford, Ernest Green, Thelma Mothershed, Melba Patillo, Gloria Ray, Terrence Roberts, Jefferson Thomas and Carlotta Walls - were escorted by members of the 101st Airborne and finally let in.
