The Black Male Teacher Pipeline is Broken: Solutions from the Community Increasing diversity among teachers is more complicated than is often portrayed.

"Black men now represent only about 2% of teachers nationwideโ€”a noticeable drop from 6.5% in the 2017-2018 school year. The declining presence of Black male teachers...tells us in no uncertain terms: the nation struggles to recruit & keep male teachers of color."

Your work has inspired me to research mapping the neuroscience informed literacy trainers & practitioners. Literacy is equity & it is a human rights issue that needs to be mapped to ensure that funding & policy spans across the English speaking world. DM me if possible, Iโ€™m a doctoral student

And this has implications for democracy, equity human rights and much more. If anyone would be willing to talk with me, I would so appreciate it. Please DM me if you can. Iโ€™m working on my dissertation and hope to make this the centerpiece.

Justin, your team has truly inspired me! Iโ€™m looking to connect if anyone on the team willing to talk with me. I want to start mapping the geography of research-backed trained educators in literacy, starting with USA & Canadaโ€ฆ including US territories. Literacy is a civil rights issue.

Tree removal paused after bald eagle spotted in Madison Park redwood A tree-cutting service backed down from removing a redwood in Seattle on Thursday after neighbors pointed out a bald eagle perched in its branches.

Seattle friends, a historic redwood tree in my familyโ€™s neighborhood is an eagle and wildlife habitat. Anything you can do to speak up and share this message is welcome!

Higher ed colleges of education are graduating many teachers with little experience, and knowledge of how the brain learns. Many state legislators, also where I am in Washington are doing little to pass legislation and funding for SOLL: The Science of Learning Literacy, this impacts student health.

Why the fek aren't we doing this?

"Except for mฤnuka honey and peas, alternative crops were expected to be more profitable per ha than livestock."

"Profitability was predicted to increase by NZ$1.32 billion (Fig. 3), an increase of about NZ$6800/ha compared to average returns for livestock"

Polar stereographic map showing 2-m air temperature anomalies in October 2025 for the Arctic Circle with red shading for warmer anomalies and blue shading for colder anomalies. Most areas are warmer than average. The baseline is a 1981-2010 reference period using ERA5 data.

Here's a look at the extent of the "warmth" across the #Arctic in October. This map uses my normal anomaly scaling for each month, but it clearly doesn't work for something this extreme.

Federal weather enterprise rises to the occasion again with Melissa - thanks to volunteers and unpaid employees When a federal government "shutdown" is not really a shutdown. And also looking at the continued longer term impacts of ongoing and threatened budget cuts.

Now that #Melissa is behind us as a tropical system, we need to have an honest conversation about how the federal weather enterprise is still running because of volunteers & unpaid employees, and how this "shutdown" is not really a shutdown.
