The National Education Policy Center at the University of Colorado posted a summary of research about the current "Science of Reading" fad, which finds that the "science" is missing. SoR has turned into another "miracle cure" that is being imposed and mandated by legislatures, anticipating a dramatic result in which "no child is left behind." Not much, according to NEPC Fellow Elena Aydarova of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, as explained in a recent article published in the peer-refereed Harvard Educational Review. In fact, she warns that legislators are using science-of-reading legislation to distract from more serious approaches to addressing students' needs.

Keith Tracey knows drones, gaming and construction. Now he has pivoted to working in 3D printing thanks to an interest that began as a hobby. Keith Tracey reckons 3D printing will become as important as AI. So much so that when his friend's child asked him for advice on what to study after finishing school, Tracey answered: "3D or AI, both of them are here to stay".

BOTHELL — Is Snohomish County, or at least the Seattle area, poised to become the nation's quantum computing center? At a ribbon cutting Thursday for IonQ's new research, development and manufacturing facility in Bothell, U.Sen. Maria Cantwell and others said demand for the super-speedy computers is growing every day, creating the potential to generate thousands of new jobs.

On a crisp winter day in March, politicians stood near the frozen edge of Loafer's Lake in Brampton. The beneficiaries of this funding slept nearby, beneath a thick crust of ice, dormant in a state known as brumation—the cold-blooded version of hibernation. Loafer's Lake is home to several turtle species, including the Snapping Turtle, of special concern in the province largely due to the incursion of human activity in their sensitive habitats. .

For decades, traditional cameras worked very much like the human eye: the cornea served as the lens cover, the iris and pupil became the aperture, and the lens became, well, the camera lens. But human vision has its limits, so the next generation of camera makers may have to look a little further for inspiration. Scientists have developed an artificial eye inspired by the fiddler crab (the crab with the single huge claw). Compared to a pair of human eyes, which together can see about 180 degrees, the fiddler crab has an almost 360-degree field of view. It also can see on both land and water.

A recent research study from the Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience has discovered that individuals suffering from depression have fewer microglial cells. What does that mean? Depression is a serious condition that greatly contributes to the overall global disease burden. It's also a leading cause of disability on a worldwide scale.

This article was originally published by Lance Johnson at Natural News. . One of the ways in which COVID-19 vaccines destroy human immune function is through the gut microbiota. Not only do the vaccines fail to confer sufficient neutralizing antibodies, but they also target various species of beneficial bacteria that are needed for long-term human immune function.
