The Impact of Homework Help Programs on Student Achievement: Research Findings and Best Practices
Homework help programs play a vital role in supporting students' academic success by providing them with resources, guidance, and assistance outside the traditional classroom setting. In this article, we will explore the research findings and best practices surrounding homework help programs, shedding light on their effectiveness in improving student outcomes and promoting academic achievement.
Wir sprechen unter anderem über einen Schwurbel, den ihr euch schon lange wünscht: Den QiOne. Und der ist – wie so oft – gar nicht mal so ungefährlich.
@karlauerbach Neat! Also check out radioactive decay used for measuring the age of the Earth (lead and uranium) and of lava flows (argon and potassium).
Have any good investigative journalists done pieces on how the slant of donors, the power of large universities "strategic communications" departments, and the evisceration of newsrooms have affected how the public gets access to reliable scientific research and information in the public interest? #Science#Newstodon#Journalism@academicchatter
"Stranger than science fiction." That's how an ecologist describes a strange fungus that hijacks cicadas’ bodies and behavior, turning them into "zombies."
CNN reports on the the fungus Massospora cicadina and how it's impacting some of the cicadas emerging this year: https://flip.it/cxfw5K
@ScienceDesk@NatureMC interesting, there are a few more fungi like this, like the one that Richard Dawkins describes in, I believe, "the extended phenotype" - a fungus that takes over an ant, crawls it to the top of the highest place around and the makes the ant's feelers it's fruit, swollen and bright red, attracting a bird to complete the fungus' life cycle.
Pioneering geologist & oceanographer Marie Tharp changed our understanding of the ocean.
When Tharp sought a geology job at Columbia in 1948, women couldn’t go on research ships. So she was hired to assist male grad students.
Back then, many scientists still assumed the bottom of the ocean was featureless. Tharp figured out how to use data to create sketches of the ocean floor. Her hand-drawn maps helped develop plate tectonic theory. https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/news/marie-tharp#science#history
When it's my turn to be god, I'm making all scientific instruments out put well commented, documented CSV files.
UV-Vis Spectrometer - CSV
Profilometer - CSV
Raman - CSV
SEM - CSV
Hubble Space Telescope - CSV.
EVERYTHING for CSV.
Until then I'll just sulk at this data I have that's not entirely commented as to what units it's using.
@Dtl Not sure I'd insist on CSV personally, though I won't object if others do.
Units are an absolute must, though. Presenting a graph without units on it should get you fined, with jail time for repeat offenders.
(And if you do get jailed, we won't tell you what the units are. You'll be sentenced to "6 in jail" or something, and left to wonder if that was days, months or years.)

On Aug. 19, 2021, a humpback whale named Twain whupped back. Specifically, Twain made a series of humpback whale calls known as “whups” in response to playback recordings of whups from a boat of researchers off the coast of Alaska. The whale and the playback exchanged calls 36 times. In their 2023 published results, McGowan, Sharpe, and their coauthors are careful not to characterize their exchange with Twain as a conversation.
Alors ce qui serait bien Météo France, ça serait que vous mettiez les Pyrénées Atlantiques et les Hautes Pyrénées en "vigilance orange" orages, fortes précipitations et rafales de vent...
Votre IA à totalement oublié de le faire !
Gros câlins sincère et total respect aux gens de Météo France, que le Startup Gouv à imaginé remplacer par de l'IA.
Manque un chouillat d'impacts de foudre sur la map là... J'assume la confirmation visuelle et auditive locale... #météo#science#France
How did vitamins come to be called after letters of the alphabet? National Geographic's Erin Blakemore looks at the history and discovery of these vital dietary components, and why vitamin K bucks the naming trend.
