Stated hypothesis include...
1. students may not know what effective strategies are
2. students may not know how to implement the effective strategies
3. perceived cost may outweigh perceived benefit

@Knowing Neurons:

In our most recent article, Liza Chartampila explains how Schizophrenia triples the risk of death during extreme heat events. These events are expected to increase in frequency and intensity due to climate change, highlighting the need for better public health policies and practices.

@Knowing Neurons:
Mental health is a major contributor to overall quality of life. Nevertheless, many of us struggle to prioritize our emotional, psychological, and mental well-being. Recent research has highlighted one effective strategy to manage mental health: exercise.

@KnowingNeurons:

The deep connection between our gut microbiome and our mental and physical health has never been so clear. Thankfully, we’re now beginning to understand how to manipulate that connection to make our minds and body healthier.

@KnowingNeurons:

Psychedelics, a type of drug that produce hallucinations & altered states of consciousness, have proven helpful in treating specific kinds of depression and may change the structure of our brains. A new paper in Science aims to answer questions about how psychedelics affect us.

Is there anyone out there who would be interested in developing Course-based Undergraduate Research Experiences based on the genomics of non-model arthropods?

Welp. 🤦‍♀️

But seriously this is why ALL high school students need #GeoscienceEducation. This is no longer common knowledge and that needs to be corrected!

Inclusivity in the Education of Scientific Imagination #preprint http://philsci-archive.pitt.edu/21702/

Scientists imagine constantly. But when and how do scientists learn how to use imagination? Across six years of #ethnographic research, it has been found that advanced career scientists feel comfortable using and discussing imagination, while graduate and undergraduate students of science often do not. #scienceeducation #sciedu

4 weeks, 30+ hours of trouble shooting, 1 new 3D printer & countless errors later the sets of horse teeth are almost ready for class.
Students will draw, measure, and determine how they have changed in the Cenozoic.
Thanks @phaneritic for making this happen!

@nickmiller Very interesting. You should add the tag #ScienceEducation

@pseudacris Great perspective! I don't teach Mendelism, per se, in my university genetics class. And emphasize their complex role in producing traits. But it's already ingrained by the time I get them in my class. I'll head to the library tomorrow to check out his book "Making sense of genes".

Don't forget your hashtags...

Well my students aren’t building Markov networks but they are modeling and making tropic pyramids of the Pleistocene ecosystem of Central California using the paleo-data from Fairmead Fossil site.

Glad to read an advanced version of this work and excited to show them they ARE doing real science!!
