Hidden inside every growing hypha lies a microscopic powerhouse — the #Spitzenkörper.
It’s not just a blob at the fungal tip — it’s the traffic controller, architect, and GPS of fungal growth. 🍄
This video will uncover how this mysterious vesicle cluster orchestrates the very architecture of life beneath our feet.

Trump administration cuts funding to minority-serving colleges. What does this mean for Philly-area schools?

The U.S. Department of Education announced it would reallocate funding to programs that “do not include discriminatory racial and ethnic quotas and that advance Administration priorities."
The move is expected to affect hundreds of colleges that serve large numbers of students from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups, according to the Chronicle of Higher Education.

I am from the netherlands and see some serious educational value in this. For one: Getting a sense of how ridiculously dominant windmills must have been in real 18th century netherlands skyline too. And not just for polders.
It certainly puts into perspective the complaints about modern energy windmills 'polluting' the landscape.
Will the remaing few also be a touristist attraction in 200 years time, I wonder ?

How Voucher Vendors Could Make Millions from ‘School Choice’ in Texas

The Legislature’s current proposals put a handful of private contractors in the driver’s seat. Other states have already seen problems.

Texas Lawmakers Want a Charter School Network to Stop Paying Its Superintendent Nearly $900K. The School Board Says No.
—

The rebuke from lawmakers and charter school leaders came after an investigation from ProPublica and The Texas Tribune revealed that Salvador Cavazos, who oversees fewer than 1,000 students, is among the most well-paid superintendents in the country.

If media talked about the donor class the way it talks about college students 1. They're behind a free speech crisis on campus. College student protesters with signs saying "STOP THE GENOCIDE" and "JEWISH STUDENTS FOR PEACE" Executive-type guy in suit: That does it! I'm having you shut down. 2. They're oversensitive and self-centered. Black female professor walks by in background Man in suit: This diversity program threatens truly talented people like me. It must be abolished. 3. They're coddled and have no experience of hardship. Executive on private jet reading book entitled "How to replace labor with AI": Why do young people dislike corporate America when it's so great? Flight attendant: Martini, sir? 4. They insult people they disagree with without understanding them. Executive: @#!$ WOKE KIDS! I WILL BUY THEIR TIKTOK!

The quote from below article stopped me dead in my tracks. Reminds me of way too many bio education initiatives I've been naively involved in (if your long-term outreach/education program does not involve professional teachers, it's time to reassess) seattletimes.com/seattle-news/…

#education

Quote from an article: “It is so fundamentally misdirected and so obviously wrong, both in the moral sense and in the rational sense, that it is literally breathtaking,” Molnar said. “This very wealthy, very narrow man can continually, continually torment schoolchildren while all the while pretending that somehow he’s making the world better.”

I adore this comic by @elisegravel.

“So, yeah, YOU can be a scientist, too!” #science #art #education

Seven panel comic “Scientists Are People Too” by Elise Gravel. Panels 1-6 describe that there are many kinds of scientists and they ask questions , make mistakes, need help, do ordinary things & weren’t always the best students. Panel 7 explains all scientists are curious & like to learn about the world around them. “So, yeah, YOU can be a scientist, too!”

Latest cartoon: Quackery Quotas

The right's cries for "ideological diversity" sound fair to well-meaning people who believe in good-faith debate as a way to arrive at the truth. But truth is not the goal here; the goal is power.

#education #science #college #university #climatechange

QUACKERY QUOTAS 1. The right hates affirmative action... Republican in bowtie: Only merit shall prevail! Except when it comes to themselves. Republican: America's colleges and universities need more ideological diversity. 2. Yes, their ideas have faced terrible discrimination for too long. Scientist at desk with poster in background reading "OIL: POWERING THE FUTURE": Other scientists are biased against me just for being a climate skeptic! 3. For decades, their opportunities have been stifled by an unfair system. Guy walking through college campus as protesters hold up sign saying "Go home Nazi!": It's hard out here for a eugenicist. 4. But their long struggle may finally be over. Older prunish man in armchair: It's obvious that slavery taught people important job skills. Fortunately this oppressed idea has been set free!

#Sensors in #Science + #Tinkering 4 #Teachers. My new portable, bluetoothed, gas sensor modules, bringing biology, climate change & Air Quality into under served #school systems. My recent work has been developing #experientiallearning for #environmental #Education in #macedonia supported by UNICEF. Can be popped in a plastic bag & used to track rates of #photosynthesis outside in-situ. With a change of sensors we have used these to monitor airborne particle loads, and noxious gases.
A small daisy plant is housed inside a clear vessel. suspended above the plant is a small red sensor module, drawing gases up across the sensor electronics. Beside the clear enclosure are two bright LED floodlights illuminating the plant.
A small palm sized red sensor module sits on a desk. The red plastic case is slightly rough indicating it has been 3d printed. Visible on its sides are 2 access ports for usb cables - for charging and connecting to a computer. Visible on the modules conical top is a small opening with a fan enclosed. This draws air into the unit and pushes it over the sensors.
A graph is displayed on a large android tablet. The information has been sent via bluetooth from the sensor module. The graph has three lines, Red, Magenta and dark Blue. The red line represents humidity, this line is very nearly straight and horizontal. The magenta line represents the air temperature in the enclosure, at the start of the line on the left it is flat, but at the time the lights were turned on it begins to rise. At the time the lights were turned off it begins to slowly fall back but does not return to its original level. The dark blue line represents carbon Dioxide levels. The live representing the CO2 levels also starts of level on the left hand side, and begins to fall, a little after the lights have been turned on. At the time the lights are turned off the CO2 levels begin to slowly rise. The screen also shows buttons to connect the APP to the sensor module, and to save the data as well as email the data for further analysis.

#Introduction

The word “invasivore” is a portmanteau combining “invasive Species” with the Latin root “devorare” meaning to swallow (as in "herbivore" or “carnivore”). Thus, #invasivore = one who eats invasive species, those organisms that have been introduced around the world and cause massive environmental and economic damages.

Our website invasivore.org/ serves a buffet of knowledge about #invasivespecies. At the core of our approach are #recipes featuring invasive ingredients, but we also provide species profiles describing notorious invaders, harvesting tips, exposition and commentary on related topics, summaries of relevant #science and #research, and roundups (#InvasionBites!) of the latest #news and other media about invasive species.

We believe that #education and #awareness can decrease the impacts of invasions by controlling existing populations and preventing new introductions.

invasivore.org | consuming invasive species and invasion science

The word “invasivore” comes from combining “Invasive Species” with the latin for “devour” as in “carnivore”. Thus invasivore = one who eats invasive species and invasion science.
