Professor
Professor is a 46-bit still life consisting of two large islands (resembling a long⁴ clips) partially stabilizing each other and further stabilized by two blocks acting as induction coils.

The cis-mirrored variant of this still life occured naturally from an asymmetric soup on July 9, 2016,[1] in a haul submitted to Catagolue by Adam P. Goucher. It was formerly the largest still life to appear naturally, until its title was taken in August by the 56-cell cloverleaf interchange. Additionally, an inflected version of professor which also has 46 cells appeared naturally in February 2019.[2]
Variants
A number of variants are possible, depending on the alignment of the two halves and the position of the blocks:

gollark: I, of course, prefer discord.hq9+ for my bot development needs.
gollark: Bash and zsh, obviously, but it's named for bash because it's more common.
gollark: And discord.bash.
gollark: They made discord.php, of course.
gollark: *Discord* wrote discord.py?
