Why some people don’t trust science – and how to change their minds

“The messenger is every bit as important as the message. Our work confirms many prior surveys showing that politicians, for example, aren’t trusted to communicate science, whereas university professors are. This should be kept in mind”

Remember this the next time right wing media/politicians target educators, universities, education, etc.

Featured story: "The conservative campaign to harass the libs out of academia has already sent a chill through #Texas’ world-class public universities, making professors and administrators so fearful of setting off the lunatics in charge at the Capitol that they censor themselves—in scholarship or in their communications with students and the public."

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) https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/gates-foundation-takes-up-question-of-its-own-power/

A neat "book" i came across courtesy of @itsfoss.
"Putting the 'YOU' in CPU" explains how a CPU works, how computers run programs, and the basics of these wonderful devices that have taken over our life, in simple (ish) terms.

For anyone that wants to know HOW computers do what they do, this is a great place to start, and it's free, readable on the website, on GitHub, or as a downloaded PDF.

“ the shooting [of a 1st grade teacher] was “a workplace injury” & “hazard of the job.”

What sort of school organisation/state/county can say such rubbish.

Insanity doesn’t begin to describe it.

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.

Our children deserve to learn about this in school. Instead they’re taught as little as possible so they can serve the Gods of Capitalism.

Maybe some believe they are not/more/better than the working class. Either way, they need to wake up to being oppressed & fed satisfying tidbits. Some steps towards destroying class & most other forms of oppression would be end #patriarchalcapitalism develop truly universal (global) #education in order to achieve #equality #justice & #unity.

#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.

In this paper we look at the benefits and drawbacks of peer/self assessment when used by university engineering students. We examine the benefits and drawbacks of this strategy, as well as ways to optimise its use.

#greasepencil in :blender:​ #Blender can now playback your drawing with the natural, recorded speed of your stylus. This makes #opensource #blender3d a powerful tool for annotation #videoproduction, particularly for #education, because you have the full feature set of one of the most powerful 3d suites at your disposal! For example: You could even project your annotations into the real world using camera tracking 😎​😍​

This addition I coded over the last month is now in the source code - so you can try it out with a daily build already.


#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 https://www.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.


Great summary & graph that explains the levels of scientific evidence.

@Raspberry_Pi Foundation.


Last year you helped us raise over £30,000 for the #RaspberryPi Foundation during their end-of-year giving campaign.

Those funds helped them give more young people computing opportunities, and we want to make an even bigger impact this year.

You in?.. https://www.raspberrypi.com/news/give-young-people-the-chance-to-create-with-technology/

You can donate any amount, no matter how small. It all adds up. And whether you’re able to donate or not, we’d love it if you shared this post to help us reach more people.

In this paper I argue that developments in STEM education research can be accelerated through the strategic use of systematic reviews, with a particular focus on #OpenScience practices and associated benefits. DM or email if you experience acces issues.
