Deb Haaland has won the New Mexico Democratic Governor primary.

If elected, she will make history as the nation's first Native American governor.

As a kid, the World Cup was my actual geography teacher. You’ll be 10 years old casually learning about different countries, flags, and continents just because they’re in a group stage group with your national team. Best tournament on Earth. The Olympics too had that effect ngl

I don't think people truly realize how cool it is to live in a place where the World Cup is being hosted

The pay-to-play system could be pricing out young soccer talent. ⚽

New research from @UGAGrady presented evidence that the commodified “pay-to-play” structure prevents many talented players from low-income families from accessing the training and resources they need to advance as players.

A large-scale study of human mobility and wildlife movement across the United States suggests that the day-to-day presence of humans—not just how they alter the landscape—is a major ecological force that shapes how animals move through and use their environments, researchers report in Science. https://t.co/1KjBXuobzE

I still don't understand how I was ever able to get up at the crack of dawn, be at school by 7:30, study seven different subjects, speak a foreign language for a bit, get 45 minutes of exercise, play a musical instrument, deal with school drama, maybe play a sport, get home and study some more before I went to bed, and all of it without a single drop of coffee. Like seriously who was that person.

Bayern Munich are officially launching their first-ever residential academy in the United States 🇺🇸

The new academy, located in San Diego County, California, will become a major part of Bayern’s international youth development pathway — giving top young American players direct access to the club’s training philosophy, methodology and professional development system 👀

The project will launch with U15 and U17 teams in September 2026 and will operate out of the Chula Vista Elite Athlete Training Center, an official U.S. Olympic & Paralympic training site.

Another massive investment in the future of soccer development in America 📈⚽️

What builds scientific confidence?

It’s not just time in the lab—analytic tasks drive the biggest gains in self-efficacy.

Group work ≠ automatically equitable.

This article shows how intentional design can make group work more inclusive and effective in biology classrooms.

@AllenMcDuffie2 @JaredHalusGT I mean... I love it when the numbers and the feeling matches!

[Emily Weigel (Dr. if we're formal) @Choosy_Female]

@AllenMcDuffie2 @JaredHalusGT Eh, better to look at the stats. Part of the draft is "potential" and "fit", not just ability. NCAA has a nice stats dashboard. Obviously more helpful for offense but still. NCAA College Baseball DI current individual Stats | https://t.co/LiEpyVTbDb https://t.co/zp1KeUzI9p
