Colorado parents say the state must make dyslexia screening mandatory now before more kids fall into depression, anxiety, or even take their lives. It's just one of 7 states that doesn't. https://t.co/TtqvcdP3k8 @DyslexiaIDA @IDARMB

This is really interesting considering that Chegg has been a problem for chemistry instruction long before ChatGPT came on the scene.

[Phil Hill @PhilOnEdTech]

A brutal and interesting article in WSJ: "How ChatGPT Brought Down an Online Education Giant" about Chegg

"The online education company was for many years the go-to source for students who wanted help with their homework, or a potential tool for plagiarism. The shift to virtual learning during the pandemic sent subscriptions and its stock price to record highs.

"Then came ChatGPT. Suddenly students had a free alternative to the answers Chegg spent years developing with thousands of contractors in India. Instead of 'Chegging' the solution, they began canceling their subscriptions and plugging questions into chatbots."

Color Chemistry! 🏳️‍🌈 I drew this newest art piece to show the structures of dyes and colorants to fit appropriately into the color that they exhibit. Hope you like it! #sciart #scientificart

@KRHornberger I’m not sure but I’ve definitely broken a large number of beakers, flasks and assorted glassware. When I was in undergrad my organic professor pushed a stirring rod through the bottom of my round bottom while trying to demonstrate crunching the magnesium turnings.
