April 2022 Newsletter
Monthly roundup: Ask-a-Scientist video interviews, the extinct Falkland Islands wolf, and embryo models.
Hello,
Happy April! Check out the three new videos in our Ask-a-Scientist series:
In this video, Dr. Rebecca Branconi answers questions about her favorite marine animal and her love of coral reefs.
In the other two videos, researchers answer questions inspired by the article Do hot neighborhoods affect everyone equally?
That’s not all!
We also have three new adapted scientific articles:
In How did the warrah cross the ocean to the Falkland Islands? researchers looked at fossilized Falkland Island wolf remains and sediment cores to conclude that people visited the Falkland Islands before European explorers arrived.

How can we grow models of embryos in the lab? is about the 3D models of young human embryos that scientists were able to grow in the lab using stem cells.

How does air pollution affect people differently? covers research on how people of color are more exposed than white people to air pollution from nearly all sources of pollution.

Finally, you may have noticed this email looks a little different than in the past. This is because we transitioned our newsletter from Mailchimp to Substack. We’ve handled everything on our end for this, so there’s nothing you need to do!
These are high-quality FREE science teaching resources. Please, share with educators in your networks!
Happy science exploration!
