🚨New Review! Monitoring Earth’s climate variables with satellite laser altimetry 🛰️ By @LoriMagruder et al. @dr_slfarrell @helenafricker @bcsatho @lauraduncanson @KacimiSahra @longhornglam nature.com/articles/s43017-0… Free: rdcu.be/dxiB7
Changes in sea ice and land ice in the polar regions from ICESat and ICESat-2. Main maps show sea ice thickness for the Arctic and Greenland region (sea ice thickness for January 202064) and the Antarctic region (average for April to November 2019)82 from ICESat-2. The height change rate for the land ice sheet is also shown, based on data from ICESat to ICESat-2 (ref. 49). Inset panels show details of processes made possible with high-resolution ICESat-2 data.

🧠 What happens when you incorporate breaks into learning? In older students, #BrainBreaks can provide space for reflection, joy, and connection during a packed school day—and they're a crucial part of the learning process: edut.to/3R3UTAb

🚫 Myth busted: Tailoring instruction to students’ preferred “learning styles” has no scientific backing. Watch to see what other learning myths it’s time to ditch—and what you should do instead.

3 Learning Myths It’s Time to Bust

Ditching these misconceptions about how the brain learns best—and following what the research really says—can help teachers better support students’ development.
