March 2024: New from SJK
Monthly roundup: fear speech, bird brains, and our favorite STEM teaching resources!
Hello,
Happy March! This month, we have three new adapted scientific articles!
How does fear speech spread on social media? is about the rise and spread of fear speech - words used to create fear around a group of people - on social media.
We also made this video trailer to introduce the research covered in the article:
#SocialScience #SocialMedia
In What do parenting and brain size have to do with each other? researchers investigated how different factors affect brain size in birds, including parental care. This article comes in two reading levels!
#AnimalBehavior #Evolution #Neuroscience
In How does the way we think affect our choices about vaccines?, scientists explored how the way people think could be linked to vaccine hesitancy.
Check out this SJK Academy video that recaps the research:

That’s not all!
We also have a brand new collection highlighting our favorite free STEM teaching resources from around the web!
Finally, have you listened to our Ask-a-Scientist podcast episode with zombie insect researcher Dr. Will Beckerson? Check out the transcript, including some amazing photos, here!
Happy science exploration!
