1 in 3 US community-service nonprofits lost government funding in early 2025.
These organizations run food pantries, deliver job training and offer mental health services. They provide independent living assistance, disaster relief and emergency shelter, among other services.

Gladys West, a Black mathematician, wrote the code that made GPS possible—while working in a segregated Navy office in the 1950s.

#TalDíaComoHoy en 1969, la microbióloga Sagrario Mochales publica en Science junto a varios colegas el artículo que presentaba al mundo la fosfomicina, el 1º antibiótico de origen español. La intentaron despedir de su empresa cuando fue madre, pero acabó dirigiendo su laboratorio 💪.

We’ve been talking a lot about theories in my MS in #science-education and this is such an interesting read for any parents and educators out there!
Children can be systematic problem-solvers at younger ages than psychologists had thought – new research
By cranking up the difficulty on the test task, researchers found that children are capable of finding systematic solutions to complex problems far earlier than psychologists had believed.

Hi! If you are in education (especially science education) what research/writing was formative for you as an educator?
I’m in my sixth week of classes and I am learning so much- I want to hear what works helped shape others. 💚
