The Incredible Fig

  https://nautil.us/issue/104/harmony/the-incredible-fig  ne of my favorite walkways in the world spans a beautiful fig in the village of Falealupo on the island of Savai’i, Samoa, formerly Western Samoa. My colleague the ethnobotanist Paul Cox invited me to visit this island in 1994 at a critical juncture in its history. The 16 tribal chiefs were at a crossroads. The Western Samoan government required villages to build cement schools because their former palm-thatch construction could not withstand the frequent monsoons. But the cost of a school was over $50,000, and Savai’i did not have a cash economy. Samoans are incredibly supportive of their children and wanted the best possible education for them, but their livelihood was based on harvesting fish from the sea and fruits from the jungle. An Asian logging company offered to harvest the island’s timber in exchange for enough funds to build a new school. The chiefs were uneasy because their entire existence over...

What We Know About Covid Vaccines and Delta

  https://elemental.medium.com/what-we-know-about-covid-vaccines-and-delta-d2114d758b0f Fully vaccinated people aren’t likely to get super sick from delta, but they can probably get mildly sick and pass it on to others   he past two weeks have felt confusing, frustrating, and sudden for many people. As Covid-19 infection rates declined more and more throughout the summer, things started to feel a bit more normal-ish for many people. Some felt like the pandemic was finally ending despite public health experts warning that it wasn’t and that another wave would arrive by fall. And then — BAM! — seemingly out of nowhere, the delta variant hit hard and fast. It’s now responsible for 83% of all infections in the U.S. Now, just as f a milies and schools are preparing for the upcoming school year, people are scrambling for answers, starting with the biggest one: How effective are Covid-19 vaccines against the delta variant? People who have been vaccinated and had begun ...

4 types of Zoom fatigue and how to combat them

  https://www.fastcompany.com/90608399/4-types-of-zoom-fatigue-and-how-to-combat-them That bleary-eyed, foggy-brained feeling of “Zoom fatigue” is a widely accepted pandemic phenomenon—but how can you prevent it? And what exactly causes it? Researchers at Stanford University just released the first peer-reviewed, psychological study of Zoom fatigue , and its results are surprising. Researchers found four quite different causes, as well as helpful solutions for each: 1. Close-up eye contact is exhausting In a typical Zoom discussion, the amount of intensive eye contact far exceeds what you would experience in real-life interactions. Think about it: When you take a walk-and-talk with a friend, you might have mere moments of eye contact; in a conference room, listeners look at their screens and their notes or gaze out the window. At the same time, Zoom faces are typically larger and closer than you’d experience in real-life work discussions, which fool your mind into perceivi...

Schooling progress, learning reversal: Indonesia’s learning profiles between 2000 and 2014

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0738059321000894 Highlights •We use nationally representative data to create mathematics learning profiles for Indonesia. •We compare student learning levels and changes in learning from 2000 to 2014 to curriculum expectations. Students’ mastery of basic skills is low. •Over 14 years, learning declined by approximately 0.25 standard deviations. •The average child in grade 7 in 2014 had learned as much as the average child in grade 4 in 2000. •Changes in learning were not driven by changes in student composition.   Abstract We examine the relationship between schooling completed and mathematics learning from 2000 to 2014 by developing learning profiles for Indonesia. Using nearly-nationally representative survey data, we find a large gap between students’ ability and standards set by the national curriculum. Learning declined over 14 years, a loss of a fourth of a standard deviation. To put this loss in context, the average...
