Super saturday 1: productive day at the OEC!

Our inaugural Super Saturday session kicked off on a high note! Emmanuel showcased his handyman skills by expertly fixing two fluctuating lights at the Ogba Educational Clinic (OEC).

Special thanks to Mr. Kevin for his support in purchasing the necessary parts, including the choke, which made the repair possible.

Re grateful for the dedication and teamwork displayed by Emmanuel and Mr. Kevin. Their efforts have ensured a safer and more conducive learning environment for our students. +#buildingthefuturewithai #therobotarecoming #STEM

The father of gravity had some thoughts about music.

Music history is littered with great thinkers, bringing a broad range of unique perspectives to the exploration of the art form. But a name you might not expect to see on that list is Sir Isaac Newton, president of the Royal Society and leader of the Scientific Revolution. And for good reason: he pretty much never wrote about music. It wasn’t an area particularly that interested him, and he rarely if ever listened to music for fun. But as a part of his well-rounded education, he did learn music *theory*, and a nearly-forgotten notebook from his college years tells us a lot about how he understood the subtle art of sound.

Removing Space Junk is an issue, but technology is advancing so solutions are available, but people are too stupid to know what they are. There is a demand to remove space junk. In my Marketing class I was taught Marketing starts with demand. No one has yet to develop a solution. Space Junk has recyclable content, which money is spent on mining to develop. 🙄 Many people spend money many ways without thinking of its impact. Musk spent like 40 billion for Twitter instead of finding a solution for recycling “Space Waste”, which adds value to his companies.

“The Universe is infinite But space has its limits Rockets a launching Sat’lites are orbiting Explosions in Space Oh what a waste Fragments go flying And we go crying “Space junk we’ve got” Man-made or not Then comes Kessler Who knows the better When things collide Their debris do multiply Thanks to partnering And NASA’s gathering We look for ways To manage the spray” – S. Thuy Nguyen-Onstott.

Can we examine the teeth of living fish and other vertebrates in detail, repeatedly over time, without harming them?

Previously, often had to be euthanized to obtain precise information, but now scientists have found a new way to humanely study detailed dental characteristics of vertebrates. This customizable method can be used for both living animals and museum specimens and has been published in the Journal of Morphology.

It’s estimated that anywhere from three to seven percent of school-age children may have dyslexia, a neurodevelopmental issue that affects reading, spelling, and writing. There are different ideas about why dyslexia occurs, although they relate to dysfunction in brain networks, and are likely due to multiple causes in affected individuals; the disorder may not have a singular underlying cause. Neuroimaging studies of dyslexic individuals have produced inconsistent results.

Since dyslexia has a heritable, and therefore, genetic component, scientists wanted to know more about how genetics and brain mapping could reveal more about the pathology of dyslexia. A new study has shown that carriers of genetic variants that increase the risk of dyslexia also have changes in brain structure, which occur in areas that are related to language, motor coordination, and vision. The findings have been reported in Science Advances.

Imagine a life where your body’s internal “battery” runs low every single day, demanding constant recharging just to keep going. For millions of people living with Type 1 diabetes, this is the exhausting reality—one where insulin injections act as the lifeline, replacing what the body can no longer produce on its own. But what if the body could be taught to recharge itself again?

In a world-first medical breakthrough, this question has moved from possibility to reality. A woman’s own stem cells have been successfully used to reverse her Type 1 diabetes, a condition once thought to be irreversible. Scientists turned her blood stem cells into insulin-producing powerhouses, effectively “rebooting” her pancreas and allowing her body to produce insulin naturally for the first time in years.

In 2014, a team of Googlers (many of whom were former educators) launched Google Classroom as a “mission control” for teachers. With a central place to bring Google’s collaboration tools together, and a constant feedback loop with schools through the Google for Education Pilot Program, Classroom has evolved from a simple assignment distribution tool to a destination for everything a school needs to deliver real learning impact.

Introduction: The integration of ChatGPT, an advanced AI-powered chatbot, into educational settings, has caused mixed reactions among educators. Therefore, we conducted a systematic review to explore the strengths and weaknesses of using ChatGPT and discuss the opportunities and threats of using ChatGPT in teaching and learning.

Methods: Following the PRISMA flowchart guidelines, 51 articles were selected among 819 studies collected from Scopus, ERIC and Google Scholar databases in the period from 2022–2023.

Results: The synthesis of data extracted from the 51 included articles revealed 32 topics including 13 strengths, 10 weaknesses, 5 opportunities and 4 threats of using ChatGPT in teaching and learning. We used Biggs’s Presage-Process-Product (3P) model of teaching and learning to categorize topics into three components of the 3P model.

This conference will explore the interdisciplinary interrelations of science, technology and society in addressing the challenges of population aging. By bringing together leading voices in the longevity space and public figures, the Longevity Nation conference will strongly contribute to increasing the synergy of science, technology and aging society, and help advance ethical scientific and technological solutions for healthy longevity for the benefit of the entire society. Building on Israel’s strengths in this area, this conference will help build the supportive longevity ecosystem in Israel, boost the prominence of the field in Israel and enhance Israel’s international standing and cooperation in the Longevity Field. It will help build up longevity R&D and Education support programs, for stakeholders in Israel and international collaborators.
