Students, we're sad we won't see you in-person this semester, but we'll still check out print books or audiobooks to you! Just email your request, and one of us will put it at the Security Desk for you to pick up. (As always, we'll help you get eBooks and eAudio too.)

Are your Ss aware of the phenomenon of deepfake videos? Watch this video + have your students consider questions like: Why are faked images + videos so popular? And, How might AI or deepfake technology threaten a democratic election? #digciteveryday https://t.co/kYkYDshU9A

Call it blended model, hybrid, or virtual. I say “Empowered learning.” It’s just good practice in today’s world and it’s what both students and adult learners need to prapare for jobs and fields that are yet to be invented! #learning #students #education #school

Meet the “Smellicopter.” Researchers slapped a living moth antenna on a drone to give it a sense of smell. The system monitors the electrical signals sent from the antenna, allowing the drone to lock onto the source of a scent and navigate toward it: https://t.co/U5HiFouFva

@Karnythia Listen a host of novels, tv shows and music have been born from the legit trauma inflicted by their peers some of these kids lived through in high school.
