🐝 Introducing a three-part research story on Amy Toth, professor at Iowa State University! Toth and her lab team use Percival walk-in rooms to study what kinds of pollen bees need to keep buzzing. Plus, they help educate farmers and everyone else on how to grow better food for pollinators. 🌼 To watch the full video and learn more about their bee research, visit https://lnkd.in/gQVsKW8d.

PFAS is having a significant impact on solid waste management and is a hurdle to increasing sustainability and circularity. Discussions like this help advance the thinking on what should be done to tackle this challenging issue!

#Sweden101 Question 25: What’s a #crayfishparty? 🦞 Today (8 Aug) marks the start of this year’s #crayfish party! 😋The crayfish party, at which people gather to eat, drink and be merry, is a typical Swedish feast marking the end of the summer. Swedes have been eating crayfish since the 1500s, but it was mostly the aristocracy only. In the 1900s, crayfish became a national delicacy and people in all parts of society began celebrating the occasion. At the same time, Sweden introduced restrictions on river crayfishing. This was due to the risk of over-fishing, and the season was then limited to a couple of months from August. That's how crayfish became an exclusive and much sought-after delicacy. Have you tried crayfish before? Will you try this year? 🦞 🇸🇪 #Sweden101 is a series launched by the Consulate General of Sweden in Hong Kong to tackle questions the general public has towards Sweden. If you have any questions about Sweden to ask, DM us so that we can feature your question in our series! 📥 Photo credit: Anna Hållams/imagebank.sweden.se Source: Sweden.se #SwedeninHongKong #swedishconsulatehk

Twice Exceptional? Dyslexic? Yale should be more likely than Jail, but we fail to identify these students and too many end up in jail! Most educators are never afforded opportunities to understand cognition before they become teachers or even during their lifelong tenure as teachers. This sets up too many students to struggle. Cognition drives learning and there is a proper way to teach for students to learn optimally….and it has nothing to do with being a subject matter expert. In addition to that gap in our system, every classroom contains a room of cognitively diverse students, which inevitably affects their ability to process information. Most of these struggles go unseen or misdiagnosed as we judge the misbehaviors or treat the visible symptoms (e.g. attentiveness caused by weak auditory working memory, anxiety caused by slow processing speed) rather than learn to identify the root cause and or differentiate instruction accordingly. The consequence of failing to train our educators to master cognition lead to frustration and failure for our students. It doesn’t stop there. Failing leads to suffering and frustration, which often lead to risky behavior, causing millions of incarcerations per year. I know this first hand from relatives who were undiagnosed and my own personal experiences failing and misbehaving in school. I suffered for a decade (in silence) as I coped by skipping more clases than I attended and attending more detention than anyone in my school’s history. FACTS: 2/3 of juvenile detention are dyslexics; along with 50% of drug and alcohol abuse while 40% of the most successful entrepreneurs and 50% of NASA scientists are also dyslexics. These are innate problem solvers wired for divergent thinking but our failure to identify and support them while in school drives them to suffer and escape by self medicating and other risky behaviors. We can do better, which is why I’m delighted to support the International Truancy and Dropout Prevention Conference as their Keynote Speaker. #dyslexia #twiceexceptional #neurodivergent Dean Starbuck Bragonier
