If you interact with children in any capacity, be it as a parent, relative, educator, researcher, or simply as a citizen (which really is all of us!), I encourage you to listen in! There’s something in there for everyone :)

I learned so much in talking to Adam about his most recent book, A Minor Revolution, which covers the past, present, and future of children’s rights in the U.S. We also dove into how he first got to work on the issues he now champions, and how those issues shape all of our lives and futures!

excited to read -- great work @zihanwang.bsky.social & all! :)

It's been lovely working on this with such an awesome team: Igor Bascandziev, @ebonawitz.bsky.social, @carenwalker.bsky.social! They took me in as a mentee when I first came to the U.S. two years ago, and they continue to shape my thinking and work in many ways :)

...learn just as much from thought experiments as from 'real' experimental demonstrations—except you don't need any fancy equipment, the child's mind alone is enough!

And it turns out that when, in early physics instruction, you engage children in thought experiments to help them grapple with tricky ideas like tiny things and air having weight, they can...

Thought experiments—imagining and thinking through outcomes—aren't just the morbid-amusing trolley problems you may have seen; they've played a vital historic role in our scientific progress in domains like physics!

That sounds like a really exciting space to be working in! Congrats on the new role :)

LOL so that's what you were wearing! So good

Congrats Yang! Hope to catch you there :)

Woo, congrats :)
