St. Cedd's College is a fictional college, created by Douglas Adams, of Cambridge University. It appears in the Doctor Who serial Shada, and in the novel Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency.
It is the home of Professor Chronotis, a retired time traveller who appears in Adams' fiction, and—in the fictional universe—was also the college of Isaac Newton (who actually attended Trinity) and Samuel Taylor Coleridge (who actually attended Jesus). It was named after Saint Cedd, brother of Saint Chad, whom Gently describes as "one of the duller Northumbrian saints."
It is based somewhat on Adams's own college, St John's. For Shada, scenes at St. Cedd's were filmed on location at Emmanuel College.
St Cedd’s College ... owes a little to my memories of St John’s College, Cambridge, although I’ve also borrowed indiscriminately from other colleges as well. The point is that St Cedd’s College is a completely fictitious assemblage, and no correspondence is intended between any institutions or characters in this book and any real institutions or people, living, dead, or wandering the night in ghostly torment.[1]
St. Cedd's College is also mentioned in the Torchwood online game, made during the show's second series. It is said to be the college attended by Dr. John Winters, a fictional character within the game.[2]

- Mammals did not evolve from any modern group of reptiles; rather, mammals descend from a Reptiliomorph (reptile-like) ancestor. The term reptile is problematic, since its conventional usage unnaturally excludes birds and mammals, and the modern consensus is that the reptiles are not a natural group.[7] After the first fully terrestrial tetrapods evolved, one of their lineages split into the the synapsids (the line leading to mammals) and the diapsids (the line leading to lizards, snakes, birds and other dinosaurs, and crocodiles). The synapsids and the diapsids diverged about 320 million years ago, in the mid-Carboniferous period.[8][9] Only later, in the Triassic, did the modern diapsid groups (the lepidosaurs and the archosuars) emerge and diversify.[10][11] The mammals themselves are the only survivors of the synapsid line.[12]

During the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine renewed controversy relating to the laptop's emails arose after Russia circulated propaganda citing "secret American bioweapons labs" as one of their motives for invasion. They later doubled-down on this claim after the discovery (on March 24th) of email conversations from 2014 on the laptop, which Russia depicted as linking Joe and Hunter Biden to the supposed "bioweapon labs" (claiming the latter had been involved in securing funds to operate these facilities on the former's behest).[13] While these Russian claims were easily and quickly debunked, the newly discovered emails and the media's initial response to their discovery instead brought renewed public attention to Hunter's suspect business practices in Ukraine during Joe Biden's Vice Presidency, causing significant partisan debate in the United States.[13][14][15][16]
