"Conventional educational strategies in combatting post-truth seem to emphasize merits of truth, evidence, and reason. Such focus misses key elements of the post-truth era. It ignores the political dynamics that engulf science as well as the antiscience campaign that is deliberately carried out and amplified in the public domain. Post-truth demands a cultural shift in science education to ensure that sociological and political contexts of science are explicitly taught and understood."

Easier and more plausible with delivery of some remedial education in relevant #SocialScience-- for the educators themselves.

www.interacademies.orgIAP Webinar: Building Trust in Science Through Science EducationIn collaboration with the Smithsonian Science Education Center, IAP is organizing this webinar to bring together scientists, educators, policymakers, and science institutions to examine the intersection of science education, STEM literacy, and public trust in science, and how education can be leveraged to build and restore confidence in scientific knowledge. Presentations will showcase ongoing efforts by various stakeholders—including academies, donors, educators, and the media—to enhance STEM learning and strengthen scientific literacy. The event will be recorded and summarized on the IAP website (see past webinars).

📝 Ingredients:
- Titanium dioxide (anatase)
- Vinegar
- Dishwashing detergent
- Indium tin oxide glass
- Raspberries
- Iodine crystals
- Potassium iodide
- Ethylene glycol

🧪 Steps:
1. Prepare the TiO2 paste
2. Apply the paste to the conductive side of the indium tin oxide glass
3. Bake the slide
4. Add raspberry juice
5. Prepare the redox shuttle and electrolyte
6. Assemble the solar cell

💡 Perfect for hands-on learning and exploring the world of solar energy!

Let me try a little physics riddle here on Mastodon. This riddle is really meant as a moment of self-reflection for physics teachers (in particular I invite you to compare what answers you'd give within Relativity Theory)

We're in the context of Newtonian mechanics.

There are three small bodies. In the inertial coordinate system (t, x, y, z), we know the following about the three bodies (at a given instant of time):

- The first has mass 3 kg
- The second has velocity (1, 0, 0) m/s
- The third has momentum (2, 0, 0) kg⋅m/s

Now consider a new coordinate system (t', x', y', z') related to the first by a Galileian boost:

t' = t, x' = x – u⋅t, y' = y, z' = z
with u = 1 m/s

Questions:

- What is the mass of the first body in the new coordinate system?
- What is the velocity of the second body in the new coordinate system?
- What is the momentum of the third body in the new coordinate system?

Can you give definite answers to these three questions, and *motivate your answers with simple physical principles*? Note that by "definite answer" I don't necessarily mean an answer with a definite numerical value.
