Excellent summary of the research about the uber popular 'growth mindset' concept: its very popularity made me skeptical, but the evidence supports it as a real effect. It's worth for educators to know the subtleties…

New @AMSWCAS study links maritime piracy trends to climate change. Rising temperatures affect fisheries, influencing whether fishermen engage in piracy, say Bo Jiang @UM_Sociology and Gary LaFree (@glafree) @UMDCriminology.

The prevalence of these mind viruses reminds me of Robert Heinlein's short story "The Year of the Jackpot."

Difficult to treat pain effectively when the provider training is grossly inadequate.

[Dr. Rachel Zoffness @DrZoffness]

@SanDiegoSummit @adelaide_psn Yes!! The lack of pain ed is SHOCKING. 96% of med schools in the US & Canada have ZERO dedicated compulsory pain education. Similar in other countries. 😓

🌆🖥️ Digital Twins have big implications for sustainable development!

"They allow researchers to recreate a specific city environment and replicate the processes that affect it, like traffic or emissions."

River of air, river of air,
when are you gonna be over?
Let me alone, to dry out my home,
then you can come and start over.

Global warming is a single number for changes in global, annual mean temperature. Climate change captures the effects of that, including increased weather (but not climate) variability. https://t.co/a0ayurNu6A

[Chris Colose @CColose]

I bet it won’t. You heard it here first. “Climate change” was used at least since the 1970s, it and “global warming” are both correct descriptions of what is happening. “Climate variability” is not.

Ancient engineering now recovered. It reminds me of the search for the properties of Damascus steel.

It’s been a mystery why Roman concrete often lasted thousands of years, but ours decays in mere decades.

Turns out they incorporated chemicals in a process that induces self-healing; scientists at MIT just figured this all out - in 2022.

Extraordinary.
