Exactly. There are many different learning styles. (One issue I had with school is I don't learn like most people - several learning disabilities/issues - so I'm aware of the differences and how things need to be altered, but for most students, yes, repetition within that first 24 hours is important.)

I haven't been in the classroom since close to the year 2000, so I don't remember the study names. What I do remember is that there were studies, plural - studies, that showed that when you learn how to do a new task or learn new information, that using that information or practicing the task within 24 hours increases the chance of it being remembered by a large percentage. That's over 25 years ago for me, and I'm not going to claim it's at a certain percentage, but I know it was WELL over 50%. So if you learn a new process in Algebra, or a new move in ballroom dance, and you don't practice it within 24 hours, you have a lower chance of remembering it. But it was at least over a 50% increase in your chance of remembering it IF you reinforced it by going through it within 24 hours.

I preferred to use homework as practice - not as learning new material (although that might help if it includes reading for the next day's class). I also worked in psych treatment, which meant I taught more than one subject - I had the odd mix of science and math plus English (lit and grammar). So I'd assign reading overnight that gave us more chance for discussion (discussion, not lecture!), and the math I assigned was to use what we had learned in class. For science, I'd actually prefer to assign reading for what we had done that day, compared to what we would do the next day. That way students found the reading easier, it went faster, and they'd bring in a few questions the next day that we could review (before moving on to new material).

When I grew up, I was forced to go to a prep school where we had 3 or more hours of homework a night, plus we were required to stay for some form of athletics, so I rarely got home before 6 PM. With that in mind, I was selective about homework. For the time I was teaching in public schools (as opposed to my time teaching in treatment), the dept. heads and supervisors jumped on me for not giving enough homework or for assigning science material we had reviewed in class - pretty much everything about my homework system offended the dept heads or supervisors.

Physicist here. They are talking about nitrogen vacancies in diamond. Itâ(TM)s cool, but I donâ(TM)t know about calling it quantum magnetometry. Itâ(TM)s a stretch, a bunch of layperson mumbo-jumbo.

Ads? Never saw that many, now I only see ONE on the page at all.

Guess you haven't heard of Brave and are still being tracked all over the internet,then.

Yes, just have them become PhD level physicists or electrics engineers by their senior year of HS and they will become competent computer users!

You may be the person who best gets it on this thread. 100% agree! I long ago resigned myself to having to work for people who a) aren't as "smart" as I am, in the technical sense, and b) don't get the value of what I do. That's probably 50% of all workers, if you think about it, regardless a huge percentage are under threat by AI because of perceived value not actual value.

⦠AI can match my PhD in physics and 3+ decades of being at the vanguard of problem solving and troubleshooting. Probably will be dead by the time the phone rings.

Well, to point out what seems to be the obvious, both are cameras, but one protects privacy more than the other, which seems to willfully give up to whatever authorities with little concern for the end-user. I use the former.

I am not an IT guy, so I am not sure what your point is: I don't have specialized knowledge others do not (I don't think I do) nor am I some sort of crazed hyperintelligent nerd who thereby can set up a UniFi Doorbell (mine didn't require PoE, I did have to swap out to a more powerful transformer, but I don't think that requires any more know how than installing a Ring Doorbell).

Ring advertises. UniFi doesn't Brand awareness probably plays a role here.

A personal detail that is irrelevant is that I have cook a mean steak, speak fluent Spanish, or am capable of building an MRI machine from the ground up. The fact that Ring cameras have a functionality that others replicate without the privacy invasions is super on topic. Not sure how that's vapid, but OK.

Lost or eliminated? B/c the key assumption is that those jobs went somewhere. They largely went nowhere. Where are the stats that 20k people left the US for science jobs anywhere? Just a bunch of anecdotes, ironically.

The sentiment that the globe goes with the US is *anything* but comforting to me. It is however a hard reality, and thinking that the rest of the world can somehow be insulated from the very real impacts of the world's largest and best funded and most accomplished R&D system being systematically dismantled because lolz own the libs is a best grossly underestimating how tied global research is, how much innovation has been driven by the US through people power or sheer dollars (you are welcome for all the pharmaceuticals, world), and how everyone cannot be isolated from the world's largest economy, whose primary engine is the aforementioned R&D system.

Global reduction. Bank it.

I use Ubiquiti cameras. Stores to my NAS. What I do with it is my choice from there. Never has to leave the premises if I choose, or I can back it up to a cloud solution of my choice, encrypted locally, remotely, or both.

Ssssh the laypeople may hear you and have to confront their own ignorant bullshit. That will make them feel bad about their intelligence and themselves and we canâ(TM)t have our snowflakes melting under a little heat and pressure.

Yes, rando crackpot on the internet. Iâ(TM)ll gladly set aside my 10 years of clinical trial experience and advanced STEM degrees in favor of your blogpost!

It's not aging poorly at all: I think you are mistaking broad familiarity with many STEM fields (I am an extreme cross disciplinary case) with anecdote. You are also missing my point: which is that this Nature survey and other surveys like it are basically clickbait for laypeople to not worry about the impending global reduction in scientific output because of OrangeMan and his MAGA mouthbreathers.

I can want to move to Belgium. I can want someone there to give me lab space, and startup funds, and some supported postdocs and students. That doesn't mean I can get those things. There just are not enough jobs or money to create those jobs in Belgium. Or France. Or anywhere in the EU to take on all the US-based scientists that want to leave.

Elsevier is a publications company. They are going to highlight their own journals one way or another. However, the proof will be in the pudding: what is the impact on the economy and society from the supposed advantage by the EU in research? I think if there is one it will be because the US scientific output goes under, not because without OrangeMan insanity that the EU was trending to overtake the US output. There's a reason that historically the best and brightest came to the US until very recently. It is also much easier to start companies in the US, and my American colleagues are much more active in this area than my European colleagues.

Dude, I think you are trying to argue with me about points that are facts. Yes, the US is losing research jobs. That's because the funding is being pulled, at times illegally. That's not because of structural problems that were so severe that the US was falling behind and could not longer support those jobs. It's because MAGA is anti-science. And those individuals with those jobs or who would have those jobs have no where to go to apply their skills. So they will leave science. Period. Science overall suffers. The globe goes as America goes, like it or not. The sooner everyone recognizes that and gets over whatever their animus against the US is historically the better. Otherwise it's just going to be a shitshow.

And some of us Homo sapiens have the special sauce to understand science and apply it to create even newer technologies. Does that mean that we are a separate species? It would explain so much, very analogous.
