Quick Glance: Biden Administration Implements Stricter Background Checks for Gun Dealers

A new rule by the Biden administration will require thousands of gun dealers to conduct background checks on buyers to close a legal loophole.

President Biden emphasizes that the measure aims to keep guns away from domestic abusers and felons to save lives.

The law mandates that sellers primarily engaged in selling firearms for profit must be federally licensed and perform checks.

Despite praise from advocates, the regulation is likely to face legal challenges from gun rights activists, concerned about potential infringements.

Quick Glance: Coffee Origins Revealed: Genome Study Uncovers Ethiopian Roots

Researchers unlocked the genome of Arabica coffee species, tracing its origins to a natural mating over 600,000 years ago in Ethiopia.

The study revealed Arabica's low genetic diversity and susceptibility to pests and diseases, limiting its cultivation locations.

The findings could lead to new breeding approaches in coffee to develop varieties with enhanced resistance to diseases and climate changes.

Arabica formed as a natural hybridization between parent species Coffea canephora and Coffea eugenioides, mainly used for global coffee production.

Quick Glance: Caitlin Clark Honored for Historic Collegiate Career in Iowa

The Iowa women's basketball program announced the official retirement of jersey No. 22 in recognition of Caitlin Clark, following the conclusion of her college career on Sunday with the Hawkeyes' loss to South Carolina in the NCAA tournament national championship game.

Moving forward, no Iowa players will wear the iconic No. 22 jersey. Clark now joins Megan Gustafson (No. 10) as one of the three players from the Iowa women's basketball team to have her number retired.

The decision was revealed by Iowa's Athletics Director, Beth Goetz, on Wednesday night at the Carver-Hawkeye Arena in the presence of Clark and the fans.

Clark has officially entered the WNBA draft scheduled for Monday, April 15. She is anticipated to be the top pick, selected by the Indiana Fever.
