This may be cool power storage tech, but the marketing team will need to be creative to convince people to live inside a battery (especially those who live where lightning storms happen all the time). science.org/content/articl…

She created a filter that helps you get a perfect middle part 🤯 AND she’s working on a braid parting filter too??!! I love women in stem!!!!

@impactology Thank you for shouting out Splats once you could learn about them from your Google search. It's great to hear that ideas behind them resonate with you. I'm glad that you have an interest in tools that help kids learn STEM in active and playful ways @unruly_studios

Unruly Splats by @admillner unrulysplats.com Unruly Splats are bluetooth connected programmable light-up floor tiles designed to turn school gyms, classrooms, libraries, lunchroom floors to spaces where students create playground style games in active & collaborative ways

It's a good time for anyone with a smartphone to have converse about the amount of image processing it would take for them to consider an image they shot to be more fake than real. This discussion about the moon photos is a good read to set up such convos theverge.com/2023/3/13/2363…

I think that this organoid intelligence thing is probably the start of what leads to the old school video game villain Mother Brain (from Metroid) amp.cnn.com/cnn/2023/03/02…

I am glad to see that people are taking interest in MicroBlocks. cnx-software.com/2023/01/30/mic…

You may hear about search engines incorporating AI tools such as chatGPT. Those moves are likely to increase the need for computation & storage. Accordingly, the energy used to make the improved tools effective will require a larger energy/carbon footprint wired.com/story/the-gene…

Google demoed a new (Bard) to rival ChatGPT. It didn't get facts straight in one of its responses. If there was a heckler in the crowd who wanted to shout "liar, liar, pants on fire!", what would one say to pantless computers? Liar, liar, chips on fire!? cnn.com/2023/02/08/tec…

It's great to see the fruits of the Work It Out Wombats crew kicking off their PBS Kids show! The team I'm on that's launching Lyla In the Loop got to engage with several Wombats folks while developing computing frameworks to be used across several shows pbs.org/about/about-pb…

There are great minds behind this new PBS Kids show. I know that it is going to hit the ground running. inquirer.com/entertainment/…

@MySportsUpdate In a few years, Tom Brady may be the first 49ers player to start a game as a 49 year old 😂

Here's the video of how Tom Brady ended his press conference tonight:

ChatGPT is a two-way street. If a student submits an assignment to you written exclusively by ChatGPT, then you may use ChatGPT to auto generate any letter of recommendation they ask for. 😜

This is a useful map and video for young people who may want to explore engineering, but aren't sure what is involved with each discipline. openculture.com/2023/01/the-ma… via @openculture

Had I come across this LOL verifier earlier, I would have been tempted to secret Santa it to everyone on my work-related Slack channels. 2023 might just be the year of accountability for those non true laugh-out-louders out there. Technology is coming for you.

I am just putting this Google Doodle about Jerry Lawson out there for those who did not get to interact with it when it was on the main google site. It is everything. Click.Play.Share.Repeat. google.com/doodles/gerald…

This is an art installation that is so powerful that I'd like to make time to see it. Art+engineering+history. news.artnet.com/art-world/char…

I support people who rethink how everyone can benefit from scientific research, especially those who call out gatekeeping practices that could be reconsidered with technology of today in mind science.org/content/articl…

I used to watch Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as a child. This article about a lab-grown brain playing video games made me imagine playing Pong against Krang bbc.com/news/science-e…

Olin extends its footprint with the "Mirror," as we partner with @kendallnow and HBCUs, expanding what’s possible for the young people and industries of #CambridgeMA. olin.edu/articles/olin-… @admillner

I respect how some scientists sat down and said "why not make a battery that is built into paper and activated by water?" Keep it up. We need novel approaches to powering devices with batteries. scitechdaily.com/a-new-disposab…
