Children are wonderful. However, there are situations in which parents must minimize time spent on an activity while maximizing a child’s enjoyment of it.

This one was alright. Way too western and male focused. Don’t think South America was mentioned at all. Still interesting

That’s interesting for a school with tons of history. Seems like it would be a cheap day out for random people in LA given that the stadium is more than half empty

Do people at UCLA not enjoy football? They’re trying to upset Penn state and nobody is there

There have been two hosts in the history of Reading Rainbow. The Legend of Literacy, LeVar Burton! And... me, Mychal Threets, a librarian 🥹🤯

I am a reader, a librarian because LeVar Burton and Reading Rainbow made us believe and see we belong in books, we belong everywhere ✨

Smiling Mychal with hands raised wears an outer space shirt in a library. It is a still from an episode of Reading Rainbow.

LeVar Burton smiles with hands behind his head as he lies down on a colorful pile of books. ENEMY PIE book rests on his chest.

There are fly meetings. I have never been. What is discussed? Why are there no mouse meetings?

the website is designed by this company: ndstudio.gov which has almost no info online except linked to a twitter account that follows only 4 other accounts which are apparently 2 DOGE cryptobros and the 2 co-founders of AirBNB

National Design Studio

The National Design Studio is leading the America by Design initiative working to improve how Americans experience their government.

Yes! Or they won’t get anything at all if they use the old version of outlook that doesn’t support the reactions. We had this because our university didn’t support the new version of outlook

Pretty cool update from GlycoScape:
Sugar-specific visualisation, based on the sugar type. Should help for hypothesis generation since you can plot each sugar type and compare.

I have the pubpeer chrome thingy and anytime i see a paper with pubpeer comments i automatically think they’re about data fraud or something malicious even though that’s not always the case. I would say BiorXiv is better if the paper was posted?

This is how I thought the headline would continue:

Dr. Seuss with white hair, beard, and glasses smiling outdoors. Overlaid text in white reads: ‘He was rejected 27 times. He planned to burn his manuscript.’ Below, in red text: ‘Then, his friend invited him to contribute to her Frontiers Special Issue.’ The red text appears edited in.
