January 2023 Newsletter
Monthly roundup: needleless vaccines, polar bears, and termite-inspired building bricks. Plus, our Annual Report.
Hello,
Happy January! Are you excited for the new year? We sure are— we have some exciting plans for 2023, so make sure to follow us to stay updated!
Check out our new adapted scientific articles this month:
In Can you get vaccinated without a needle?, scientists developed a patch that can deliver the COVID-19 vaccine through the skin. #infectiousdisease #biology #microbiology
How can polar bears survive longer in a changing climate? is about how researchers discovered a new polar bear subpopulation that lives in fjords and uses glacier ice, rather than sea ice, to hunt. #conservation #climatechangeimpact #zoology
What can termites teach us about better building materials? explains how scientists took inspiration from termite mounds to make strong, sustainable building bricks. #engineering #biomimcry #technology
That’s not all!
We have brand new SJK mugs! These will be part of our Teacher Ambassador program that we’ll be launching soon. Stay tuned for more details!
Finally, we have new videos out this month! First, we have this episode of Ask-a-Scientist, where Dr. Allison Master answers questions about gender stereotypes:
We also have a new Lesson Idea video to go along with our new article on polar bears, which includes a hands-on lab activity to help students learn about climate change:
These are high-quality FREE science teaching resources. Please, share with educators in your networks!
Finally, check out our 2022 Annual Report to learn more about Science Journal for Kids’ impact and reach last year.
Happy science exploration!
