Successful teams aren’t necessarily about star talent, but more often depend on “Glue” employees—the quiet leaders who make everybody else look good and rarely get rewarded for their contributions.

Christopher Nolan nailed it.

[NASA Marshall @NASA_Marshall]

An international team of astronomers using NASA’s IXPE (Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer) have challenged our understanding of what happens to matter in the direct vicinity of a black hole.

The new understanding is thanks in large part to a measurement of a 9.1% polarization degree for black hole IGR J17091-3624, much higher than astronomers expected.

Wild rice—mnomen—is Sacred. The Nottawaseppi Huron Band of the Potawatomi protects this Ancestral food with care for water, land, and culture.

I know for some teachers this is your red line… but since we are #BackToSchool #firstdayofschool and all, just a friendly reminder to you and yours… just give or lend the kid pencil if they need it.

Thanks for coming to my #TedTalk

Amber built a nice tailgate bench out of cedar. This project is special because the tailgate came off a family member's old truck. Good job, Amber!

Happy birthday, Ken Burns! To celebrate Ken’s legacy (and what better way than through education!), check out the Ken Burns in the Classroom on PBS LearningMedia. This collection is a treasure trove of teaching resources built around his acclaimed films. https://t.co/f974jAy9o0

@MrDanielBuck GREAT administrators support and coach new teachers into being career educators, or let them know that it is not working out.

This is sorely lacking. New teachers need much more support than is often given.

Hey @grok who is the most famous person to view my profile?

Loads of fun for history and map nerds alike! This fantastic online tool allows you to see how borders changed over time. Endless fun zooming in and out and see history play itself out. Worth looking at when you read history too! Source: https://t.co/3YS0qjEgse
