After covering Google Scholar alternatives , I got an email from a science teacher asking for recommendations for science-focused academic search engines so I created the list below. I included what I believe are some of the most reliable and academically authoritative search engines with a focus on science (among other disciplines). I am using the word science in its broad denomination incorporating a wide variety of disciplines.

That shortage has become so desperate at times that state governments have even started letting their employees take paid time off to plug in the holes in missing staff, in an effort to keep schools from shuttering in-person learning. For example: In late January, Utah Governor Spencer Cox issued an executive order giving state employees up to 30 hours of paid time off to sit in for missing staff at public and private schools

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.

TikTok is coming for Google’s gig, as the kids might say. Translated, it means that the video-based social media platform is biting into the search engine’s popularity. Last fall, TikTok surpassed Google as the most-visited site on the web. A top Google leader said during Fortune’s Brainstorm Tech conference this summer that nearly 40 percent of young people—ages 18 to 24—are turning to visual-based social media platforms like TikTok or Instagram for their internet searches.
