The University of California San Diego has received a received 15 million (USDC) donation from a fund directed by co-founder Vitalik Buterin, the post-secondary institution announced on March 7.

The Balvi Filantropic Fund “is a scientific investment and direct gifting fund for deploying quickly to high-value COVID projects that traditional institutional or commercial funding sources tend to overlook,” its website says.

Researchers associated with the institute recently published a study showing that nearly three-quarters of the aerosols near Imperial Beach contained bacteria associated with the raw sewage in the Tijuana Estuary. Source: UCSD
