How Trees Keep D.C. And Baltimore Cool Satellite technology—and community outreach—can help harness trees’ cooling power for city residents.

Did you celebrate Arbor Day this week?

Trees do a lot for us. They help cool things down, absorb carbon dioxide, and keep soil from washing away. Check out this conversation from last year on how—and where–trees make a difference in cities.

Excited to check in this morning at #offseas25 in Bangkok! Theme is “The Investment of a Lifetime: Outdoor Education for Future Generations” @21cl.bsky.social #outdoorlearning #EduSky

Predator and prey mini-lesson today with students in the school garden. #EduSky #STEM #ScienceEd #outdoorlearning

Students observed abundant hoverflies on our flowering mustard plants in the school #garden, our second most important #pollinator behind bees. Students also learned about their use of mimicry to avoid predators. #EduSky #STEM #outdoorlearning #ScienceEd

Loving this!!

A Cheer For The Physics Of Baseball When you watch a baseball game, you’re also enjoying a spectacular display of science—from physics to biomechanics.

Baseball season is officially underway. To celebrate, we revisit this conversation from 2024 about the physics of baseball and how sports can be a gateway to scientific literacy.
