I went to a Catholic high school, and our government teacher was also our religion teacher.

Everyday we asked him to play this video, and we got it 4/5 days a week.

I didn't learn much about the government in that class. 😂
55 years ago today was an infamous attempt to blow up a beached whale.

Please enjoy this piece about it by Andrew Thaler, which remains one of my favorite pieces of writing about science communication.

Super awesome webinar coming out next week with TJ Heck and Kognity! The session is titled "Microsystems of Assessment and You: Getting the Most Out of Your Assessment Data" a topic that I think all educators grapple with.

Register here: kognity.zoom.us/webinar/regist…
