Appreciated the article about in WP by @karlaadam about "Fight for America" rpg but wonder why there wasn't a call for accountability for a debrief after such an event? Games like this can cause trauma and are irresponsible. https://t.co/M0St5G6gJ3 #GameSafety #RoleplayingGames

When trauma is ignored, recovery stalls. When healing comes first, people thrive.

Support our trauma-informed game initiative for Gaza & Ukraine — helping kids & communities recover & rebuild after war.

This mesmerizing installment (turn on the audio) is in the Minneapolis Airport. It was created by an Indigenous artist to illustrate oral histories of the local Indigenous people. I love airports that embrace art & education.

When the goal is to TRY and collide the “particles” in this fun game @CERN Visitor Center. What a great way to learn about High Energy Physics and how the LHC works! #education #physics #LHC

I’m headed back to @CERN next week to talk to them about more educational adventures. Last time I was given a wonderful tour and one of the activities involved this desktop model of the LHC. I want one! #education #physics
