"On June 1, India cut a slew of foundational topics from tenth grade textbooks, including the periodic table of elements, Darwin's theory of evolution, the Pythagorean theorem, sources of energy, sustainable management of natural resources and contribution of agriculture to the national economy, among others.
...
Even as thousands of scientists across the country protested the decision to slash evolution last month, it did not deter India’s National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) — the public body that designs curriculum and textbooks — from expanding its list of omitted topics."

This one is really important, so please listen, and share.

'The “Kaktovik numerals,” named after the Alaskan village where they were created, looked utterly different from decimal system numerals and functioned differently, too. But they were uniquely suited for quick, visual arithmetic using the traditional Inuit oral counting system, and they swiftly spread throughout the region. Now, with support from Silicon Valley, they will soon be available on smartphones and computers—creating a bridge for the Kaktovik numerals to cross into the digital realm.'

@glennf
Glenn thanks so much for this. As a kangaroo carer in outback Australia I frequently find cause to look at how far the two Voyagers are from us thanks to the JPL website.

For bored Millennials who find this and suggest tl:dr, maybe it would be good to give folks a few pointers on the brilliance of the mission/s.

Things like those science instruments are being talked to from here and are responding from there to here. Billions of miles away. How long does the communication take to travel end to end and how big are the packets of data that tell the scientists what is happening to the birds and what they are finding as they travel?

Things like the computers driving the process measure their grunt in kilobytes not petabytes. What were they? 64k from memory?

And the opportunity when confronted by a gen z youngster about our old age knowledge, to share that people in the 70s were sending signals between planets and rocks and all the other hard and soft pieces making up the universe and the solar system, before the word internet has been coined.

Thank you for your post.

Hi all, am trying out Calckey to see if I like it. Here's an #introduction: I'm Nick, a high school teacher of computer science, engineering, and (formerly) mathematics from Baltimore, Maryland, USA. I also sometimes teach teachers. At work, I love doing interdisciplinary STEM projects with students, working with robots, teaching students app development, and more. Outside of work, I love reading (especially mystery novels), walks in nature, pursuing peace and social justice, and I love my city of Baltimore! #Introduction, #teaching, #STEM, #appdev, #math, #compsci, #engineering, #Baltimore

Personally I've preferred "participatory science" as a clearer description of what we're trying to do when we blend outreach and data collection more or less since the first time I heard the phrase.

I don't know why it hasn't caught on, besides the general sense that "community" is somehow a more inviting word?
