It's a cold one in #Pittsburgh this morning, and the view from under the Andy Warhol Bridge reminded me of the 'Exile or death' scene from The Dark Knight Rises. This panorama stretches from the Rachel Carson Bridge (left) to the Clemente (right) with the Warhol Bridge overhead.

In our study, we asked how much time was needed to teach #phonemicawareness (PA) optimally. Results showed that PA instruction effects improved with increasing dosage up to 10.20 hours of instruction (max effect = 0.74), after which the effects declined (=progress got slower). 🔗 shorturl.at/SGqJn

It was a snowglobe kinda night in #Pittsburgh this evening, and I was down on the North Shore to capture it. The bridges are back to their traditional gold instead of the light show that played for the last month, and they looked beautiful beneath the falling snow.

Really crazy morning in #Pittsburgh today. The rivers were legitimately mirrors...I can't remember the last time I saw them THIS still. It made for amazing reflections all around the city, from the North Shore to the West End. My first stop had to be that new lighting on the Sister Bridges.
