Measuring the effects of extreme weather requires extreme numbers. Climate change racked up an eye-popping $165 billion damages tab in the U.S. last year, as tallied by a recent federal report. And back in September, around 82 percent of Florida school districts closed for at least one day — keeping roughly 2.5 million students out of school. With experts predicting more extreme weather in 2023, that undoubtedly means schools will suffer more disruptions in a K-12 education era already defined b

The instructor’s PPT slides are brilliant. You’ve splurged on the expensive interactive courseware. Student engagement is stellar. So… why are half of your students still forgetting everything they learned in just a matter of weeks? It's likely a matter of cognitive science! With so much material to "teach" these days, we often forget to incorporate key proven principles into our curricula — namely active recall, metacognition, spaced repetition, and interleaving practice.

The life cycle of a butterfly involves four stages – egg, larva, pupa, and adult. These stages are a part of a process known as metamorphosis. In Greek, the word metamorphosis means transformation or a change in shape. Many insects show the process of metamorphosis. However, metamorphosis itself is of two types: incomplete metamorphosis and complete metamorphosis.

How can marine invertebrates help prevent organ transplant rejection? Published: A major challenge surrounding organ transplants is the body’s recognition of the new organ as ‘other’, which often leads to a dramatic immune response and rejection of the organ. To address this issue, Dr Fadi Lakkis of the University of Pittsburgh in the US is examining the mechanisms behind this response, using some interesting little invertebrates with their own unique traits to test his theories.
