On one semi-rural street, five horses wandered nervously in a paddock as firefighters worked to protect nearby homes and barns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>County Sheriff Bill Gore said new evacuation notices were transmitted to 12,952 phone numbers.

His work lives on at the California Academy of Sciences.]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are hobbies and then there are lifelong passions. Ray Bandar’s passion is finding and cleaning skulls.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For six decades, Bandar has been making a quiet contribution to science, harvesting the bones of dead animals on the California coast and amassing an impressive collection of skulls. On Friday the \u003ca href=\"http://www.calacademy.org/\">California Academy of Sciences\u003c/a> in San Francisco is opening a \u003ca href=\"http://www.calacademy.org/academy/exhibits/skulls/\">new exhibit of skulls\u003c/a> that features his work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bandar keeps his own collection in the basement of his San Francisco home. The “bone palace,” as he calls it, holds close to 7,000 skulls and skeletons, stacked floor to ceiling. He organizes the shelves by species, including seals, sea lions, leopards, cheetahs, horses, zebras, giraffes and dolphins.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is largest animal that lives and breeds in California,” Bandar says, holding up an elephant seal skull. “That’s an adult female.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bandar is a spritely 86-year-old with an encyclopedic knowledge of the bones. “Sixty years at Ocean Beach, I’ve been decapitating dead marine mammals,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_17387\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1280px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/science/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2014/05/DSC01301-1024x576.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-17387 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/science/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2014/05/DSC01301.jpg\" alt='Ray \"Bones\" Bandar has spent six decades finding and cleaning animal bones.

(Lauren Sommer/KQED)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>For most of his life, Bandar searched local beaches for dead sea lions and seals and removed the heads. As a volunteer with the California Academy of Sciences, he worked under its scientific collection permit from the state. The more exotic animals in his collection came from local zoos after the animals died.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cleaning skulls is not for the faint of heart. “I remove as much flesh as possible,” he says. “Put them in bucket of water. Put them in a warm spot and leave it to sit there for weeks and the bacterial action removes all the organic material.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bandar’s fascination with the natural world began as a kid growing up in San Francisco, when he collected snakes and frogs in Golden Gate Park and donated them to the Steinhart Aquarium.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He collected his first skull in his twenties, dragging the head of a harbor seal back to his parents’ house — on public transportation. He says he wondered to himself how he could get the meat off. “So I put it in a big pot. Said, ‘Well, I guess I’ll boil it.’ And boy did it stink up the house. When my parents came home, they weren’t too happy about that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_17390\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1280px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/science/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2014/05/Basement1-1024x576.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-17390 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/science/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2014/05/Basement1.jpg\" alt=\"Bandar has almost 7,000 skulls and skeletons in his San Francisco basement\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">There are almost 7,000 skulls and skeletons in Bandar’s San Francisco basement. (Lauren Sommer/KQED)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Over the years, Bandar attracted crowds of beachgoers as he harvested skulls. Occasionally, he attracted suspicion, like the time in Half Moon Bay when he was working on a 14-foot elephant seal carcass in front of the Ritz-Carlton.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m sitting on his neck, cutting away, trying to sever the skull from the torso,” he recalls. “And I turn around and standing on the beach is three cops.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The policemen eyed Bandar’s ratty field jacket, covered in rotting flesh. They’d gotten a number of phone calls, Bandar says. “More than one call is, ‘There’s this homeless guy. He’s trying to eat this dead elephant seal.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bandar’s wife of 60 years doesn’t mind his hobby. The two of them met in art school. On their honeymoon to New York City, they fell in love with the bone displays at the American Museum of Natural History.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vertebrae hang next to his wife’s paintings in their living room. “To me,” Bandar says, “they’re beautiful pieces of sculpture.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_17391\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1280px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/science/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2014/05/Basement7-1024x576.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-17391 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/science/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2014/05/Basement7.jpg\" alt=\"Bandar would often attract crowds of beachgoers as he worked, as well as the police.

(Lauren Sommer/KQED)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Bandar went on to teach biology for 32 years at Fremont High School in East Oakland, where dissection was a big part of the curriculum. “Even in medical school, the students do not get what they got in my classroom,” he says. “I still hear from my students.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bandar retired from collecting specimens last summer. The skulls in his basement will eventually go to the California Academy of Sciences, where his work will comprise one-fifth of the museum’s ornithology and mammalogy collection.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cal Academy’s collection of skulls teaches the public, including thousands of school children who come to the museum each year, about wildlife and the natural world. One of the Academy’s collectors is curatorial assistant Sue Pemberton.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Inside the specimen preparation room, Pemberton describes the work she has in progress. “You’ll see over on the left here I have a young elephant seal skull,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The skull is crawling with dermestid beetles, which specialize in eating dead flesh.

Ray Bandar’s passion is finding and cleaning skulls.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For six decades, Bandar has been making a quiet contribution to science, harvesting the bones of dead animals on the California coast and amassing an impressive collection of skulls. On Friday the \u003ca href=\"http://www.calacademy.org/\">California Academy of Sciences\u003c/a> in San Francisco is opening a \u003ca href=\"http://www.calacademy.org/academy/exhibits/skulls/\">new exhibit of skulls\u003c/a> that features his work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bandar keeps his own collection in the basement of his San Francisco home. The “bone palace,” as he calls it, holds close to 7,000 skulls and skeletons, stacked floor to ceiling. He organizes the shelves by species, including seals, sea lions, leopards, cheetahs, horses, zebras, giraffes and dolphins.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is largest animal that lives and breeds in California,” Bandar says, holding up an elephant seal skull. “That’s an adult female.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

(Lauren Sommer/KQED)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>For most of his life, Bandar searched local beaches for dead sea lions and seals and removed the heads. As a volunteer with the California Academy of Sciences, he worked under its scientific collection permit from the state. The more exotic animals in his collection came from local zoos after the animals died.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cleaning skulls is not for the faint of heart. “I remove as much flesh as possible,” he says. “Put them in bucket of water. Put them in a warm spot and leave it to sit there for weeks and the bacterial action removes all the organic material.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bandar’s fascination with the natural world began as a kid growing up in San Francisco, when he collected snakes and frogs in Golden Gate Park and donated them to the Steinhart Aquarium.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He collected his first skull in his twenties, dragging the head of a harbor seal back to his parents’ house — on public transportation. He says he wondered to himself how he could get the meat off. “So I put it in a big pot. Said, ‘Well, I guess I’ll boil it.’ And boy did it stink up the house. When my parents came home, they weren’t too happy about that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_17390\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1280px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/science/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2014/05/Basement1-1024x576.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-17390 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/science/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2014/05/Basement1.jpg\" alt=\"Bandar has almost 7,000 skulls and skeletons in his San Francisco basement\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">There are almost 7,000 skulls and skeletons in Bandar’s San Francisco basement.

Occasionally, he attracted suspicion, like the time in Half Moon Bay when he was working on a 14-foot elephant seal carcass in front of the Ritz-Carlton.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m sitting on his neck, cutting away, trying to sever the skull from the torso,” he recalls. “And I turn around and standing on the beach is three cops.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The policemen eyed Bandar’s ratty field jacket, covered in rotting flesh. They’d gotten a number of phone calls, Bandar says. “More than one call is, ‘There’s this homeless guy. He’s trying to eat this dead elephant seal.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bandar’s wife of 60 years doesn’t mind his hobby. The two of them met in art school. On their honeymoon to New York City, they fell in love with the bone displays at the American Museum of Natural History.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vertebrae hang next to his wife’s paintings in their living room. “To me,” Bandar says, “they’re beautiful pieces of sculpture.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_17391\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1280px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/science/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2014/05/Basement7-1024x576.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-17391 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/science/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2014/05/Basement7.jpg\" alt=\"Bandar would often attract crowds of beachgoers as he worked, as well as the police.

The skulls in his basement will eventually go to the California Academy of Sciences, where his work will comprise one-fifth of the museum’s ornithology and mammalogy collection.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cal Academy’s collection of skulls teaches the public, including thousands of school children who come to the museum each year, about wildlife and the natural world. One of the Academy’s collectors is curatorial assistant Sue Pemberton.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Inside the specimen preparation room, Pemberton describes the work she has in progress. “You’ll see over on the left here I have a young elephant seal skull,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The skull is crawling with dermestid beetles, which specialize in eating dead flesh.

The schools include: San Francisco State, which \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/ci_23443908/san-francsico-state-university-votes-divest-investment-coal\" target=\"_blank\">divested from coal and tar sands companies last June\u003c/a>, Hampshire College, Pitzer College and a handful of smaller schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The impact of Stanford’s decision is going to put an exclamation point at the end of everything (the national campaign) has done,” says David Meyer, professor of sociology at UC Irvine. “There tends to be a cascade effect when big players like Stanford get into the action.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite campus protests, other schools, most notably Harvard and Middlebury, have refused to join the divestment campaign, questioning the effectiveness of the divestment strategy. More than 100 Harvard faculty members have signed a letter urging Harvard president Drew Faust to divest, and last week, one student was arrested on campus for attempting to blockade Faust’s office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A report by Harvard University’s Institute of Politics titled, \u003ca href=\"http://www.iop.harvard.edu/does-divestment-work\" target=\"_blank\">“Does Divestment Work?,”\u003c/a> draws parallels between fossil fuel divestment and similar campaigns to halt investment in South African companies during apartheid in the 1980s. The study suggests the effectiveness of divestment is not all about finances:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“The evidence from South Africa suggests that divestment, while ineffective in a financial sense, can have an impact by shaping public discourse. … If universities across the country divested from fossil fuels, this would again be the case.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>While Stanford's move is widely seen as an environmental victory, Meyer says, “It’s also worth pointing out that Stanford didn’t take the whole fossil fuel abstention position, only focusing on coal,” and not divesting from oil or natural gas companies, as Fossil Free Stanford’s petition called for.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Financially speaking, Meyer says “coal increasingly looks like it’s a bad investment.” This makes it much easier for Stanford’s Board of Trustees to remove funds from an already shaky investment — while earning environmental kudos in the process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another factor: Bay Area billionaire Tom Steyer, \u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/a/forum/R201303201000\" target=\"_blank\">a noted environmental advocate\u003c/a>, sits on Stanford’s board. \u003ca href=\"http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/wonkblog/wp/2014/05/06/stanford-becomes-the-most-prominent-university-yet-to-divest-from-coal/\" target=\"_blank\">The Washington Post suggests\u003c/a> that Steyer’s presence increased internal pressure on the school to approve the divestment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the development is “exciting and encouraging for students,” Meyer fully expects them to “claim this victory and keep demanding more.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" src=\"https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/148441997&color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_artwork=true\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\n",

The schools include: San Francisco State, which \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/ci_23443908/san-francsico-state-university-votes-divest-investment-coal\" target=\"_blank\">divested from coal and tar sands companies last June\u003c/a>, Hampshire College, Pitzer College and a handful of smaller schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The impact of Stanford’s decision is going to put an exclamation point at the end of everything (the national campaign) has done,” says David Meyer, professor of sociology at UC Irvine. “There tends to be a cascade effect when big players like Stanford get into the action.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite campus protests, other schools, most notably Harvard and Middlebury, have refused to join the divestment campaign, questioning the effectiveness of the divestment strategy. More than 100 Harvard faculty members have signed a letter urging Harvard president Drew Faust to divest, and last week, one student was arrested on campus for attempting to blockade Faust’s office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A report by Harvard University’s Institute of Politics titled, \u003ca href=\"http://www.iop.harvard.edu/does-divestment-work\" target=\"_blank\">“Does Divestment Work?,”\u003c/a> draws parallels between fossil fuel divestment and similar campaigns to halt investment in South African companies during apartheid in the 1980s. The study suggests the effectiveness of divestment is not all about finances:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“The evidence from South Africa suggests that divestment, while ineffective in a financial sense, can have an impact by shaping public discourse. … If universities across the country divested from fossil fuels, this would again be the case.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>While Stanford's move is widely seen as an environmental victory, Meyer says, “It’s also worth pointing out that Stanford didn’t take the whole fossil fuel abstention position, only focusing on coal,” and not divesting from oil or natural gas companies, as Fossil Free Stanford’s petition called for.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Financially speaking, Meyer says “coal increasingly looks like it’s a bad investment.” This makes it much easier for Stanford’s Board of Trustees to remove funds from an already shaky investment — while earning environmental kudos in the process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another factor: Bay Area billionaire Tom Steyer, \u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/a/forum/R201303201000\" target=\"_blank\">a noted environmental advocate\u003c/a>, sits on Stanford’s board. \u003ca href=\"http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/wonkblog/wp/2014/05/06/stanford-becomes-the-most-prominent-university-yet-to-divest-from-coal/\" target=\"_blank\">The Washington Post suggests\u003c/a> that Steyer’s presence increased internal pressure on the school to approve the divestment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the development is “exciting and encouraging for students,” Meyer fully expects them to “claim this victory and keep demanding more.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" src=\"https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/148441997&color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_artwork=true\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
