University of Waterloo, Canada

Updated with quotes for May 2023:

Classic:
The herd instinct is the strongest instinct, maybe stronger than the hunger and sex instincts – inherent, to be like everybody else, not to be cast out of the group and shunned.
— Tucker Carlson, speech at Heritage Foundation dinner, National Harbor, Maryland, April 2023.

 

Direct:
The material, biological qualities we share with other animals in the struggle to survive: the instincts for food, sex, protection of the young, also a herd instinct, an impulse to gang up, and an impulse to destroy what threatens us.
"Mobbing: a Natural Fact," Graz, Austria, January 2007.

Garden moment for May 2023:

Early, easy to grow, with longlasting flowers and more varieties than you can count —what's not to like about hellebores?
