Great overview of the research on school-based #mindfulness programs, by @debschussler.bsky.social for the @us.theconversation.com. theconversation.com/mindfulness-...
Mindfulness is gaining traction in American schools – but it isn’t clear what students are learning
Understanding the nuances of what mindfulness can look like in a classroom can help educators, parents and policymakers decide whether it belongs in their schools.

A fed judge in DC today denied a preliminary injunction that 4 ed research organizations had wanted. That means the Education Department doesn't have to rehire all the employees it axed and reinstate contracts while the courts decide whether the Trump admin exceeded its exec authority. (1/7)

The Senate Committee on Appropriations gave the first signs Congress will push back on Trump's proposed budget cuts to science and instead keep funding flat, though an unrelated issue (the location of the FBI headquarters) stalled any vote today.

@alexwitze.bsky.social and I report:
US senators poised to reject Trump’s proposed massive science cuts
Committee gives first hint that policymakers might preserve, rather than slash, funding for US National Science Foundation and other agencies.
