I know cheating is rampant more than ever now, but I was discouraged to see that Nursing students may be referring to exams that have been published online. This is the title of one I ran across today: "PSYCH EXAM II QUESTIONS WITH CORRECT ANSWERS GRADED A+ SUCCESS GUARANTEED, Exams of Nursing"😞

We reflect today on the signing of Executive Order 9066 in 1942, which led to the forced removal and incarceration of 125,000+ Japanese Americans. As we honor the #DayofRemembrance, we recognize that the work of preserving and sharing history has never been more urgent. densho.org/catalyst/the...

No one wants to go on strike. Our members in Los Angeles are holding the line because “a strong contract isn’t just for educators; it’s a commitment to students and their futures.” mynewsla.com/education/20...

The secretary of HHS oversees the CDC, the FDA, the NIH, Head Start, and other vital government programs that support Americans’ public health, safety and well-being. RFK Jr. is unfit for the job. Tell your senator to vote NO on his confirmation.

On a lighter note, I wondered what ever happened to 'Kid President' and did a search. I'm glad to see he's still cool 😎. I show one of his uplifting videos to my students at the start of every term. people.com/kid-presiden...

Week 2 of the spring semester is well underway. It has been a pleasure meeting new students and reconnecting with those who have previously been in my classes.

🧪 Joining #FluorescenceFriday here is a picture I took of some cortical neurons I was growing in a dish - I thought they looked so cute like they were holding one another 🥺 Neurons are simply gorgeous though, with their intricate projections. #AcademicSky #ScienceSky

I agree. And, The Nightmare Before Christmas. ❤️Which reminds me of a house I drove past last week that had this very cool Jack hanging out in their front yard. I thought to myself, "we can be friends." #JackSkellington
