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."

McCarthyism Rides Again at Texas Universities
A&M’s shameful treatment of Kathleen McElroy is the start of a backward-turning era for higher education.Gabriel Arana (The Texas Observer)
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/
Gates Foundation takes up question of its own power
Does The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation have too much power and influence? It's a question the foundation's CEO Mark Suzman raised in its annual letter released Tuesday.The Seattle Times

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.

We're very excited that you're here.
#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.
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.

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.invasivore.org
