Monthly roundup: an interview with a NASA scientist, heart disease, and de-extinction!

We also have three new adapted scientific articles:

That’s not all!
We have two new collections:
In our articles in two reading levels collection, we’ve compiled articles that we’ve adapted in upper and lower reading levels to help make research accessible to a wider range of students!
This collection of 7 scientific articles for high school psychology offers great options for incorporating real psychology research in your classroom.
Finally, don’t forget to join our private Facebook group to get exclusive access to the growing community of educators using our resources to teach science:
Happy science exploration!
