The Foldscope brings a powerful science tool to schools that can't afford microscopes. Scientists use it too. Its creators have handed out 2 million units, including a new mini-model for younger kids.
Fold paper. Insert lens. This $2 microscope changes how kids see the world

this one easy trick will put a lot of black people into an early grave
Trump HHS nominee RFK Jr.:
If you give Black children “resilience” then “the inevitable racism” will “bounce off” them like they are “the Avengers” because “they will be immune to it” and “then we don’t have to stop racism altogether, because we’re never going to be able to do that.”

It's bad enough when we see journalists adopting the right-wing framing on issues, but do Democrats need to do it too?
Child allowances, free public universities, and public health insurance provision are not "hand-outs"; they are smart social policies that countries that aren't deeply dysfunctional and cruel provide their citizens because they make everything (including the economy) better.

"There are many known advantages of mixed forests," says Hans Pretzsch from the TU Munich.
"Mixed forests are more ecologically valuable as a diverse habitat. They mitigate climate change because they store carbon dioxide longer and better."💚☘️🌱🌿🌲🌳🍀💚

Usnea sp. A lot of Usnea shriveled and disappeared this summer, but they seem to come back. The grove of larch trees that catch the morning fog seem to be an excellent environment for Usnea, despite low altitude. Mimakihara Plateau, Nagano #Lichen #FungiFriends #LichenFriends

If you’re ever surprised by how clueless we, as a people, appear to be sometimes, just remember that a scant 25 years ago The Blair Witch project came out and 90% of the population was like “holy shit is this REAL?!”

Wish more people realised that for most art businesses, there's only one person doing all the work. Creating, shipping, admin, promotion, starting feuds with other artists, painting unflattering portraits of them into historical scenes, trying to poison them, it's all one person.

My island is relatively dry but when it rains, as it has been raining these days, we have our share of natural waterfalls.
Some areas are open to hiking.
