Educational myths can mislead—but they can also teach.
When handled with care, they can trigger inquiry & foster conceptual change.

📚 New blogpost: “When Educational Myths Are Better Than Their Reputation”
🔗 doi.org/10.58079/13h49

Evidence-informed Sustainability Education (EvSusEd)When Educational Myths Are Better Than Their Reputation. Harnessing Misconceptions as Learning Opportunities and CatalystsEducational myths are often seen as obstacles—misconceptions that mislead and sustain ineffective practices. But what if they also offer learning opportunities? This text explores how myths can be used to foster deeper learning, critical thinking, and conceptual change.

To increase #knowledge and #community exchange between underground labs, I am trying to make sure that folks at #SNOLAB can participate in seminars hosted at other labs. Not all labs stream them, but some do.

Tomorrow, the Sanford Underground Research Facility has its next "Deeper Talk" event. Folks at @snolabscience.bsky.social can gather in the auditorium at 11am ET on Wednesday to watch!

ENG: I just handed in an assignment for my SPAN101 class.
ESP: Entregué mi tarea por la clase de SPAN101.

We had to make a one-page brochure about a Spanish speaking country plus a 2min video.
Nosotros debimos hacer una pagina en un folleto sobre un país de habla hispana.

I made a full, folding, brochure for Spain using mostly my own photos.
Hice un folleto completo para España haciendo principalmente mi propio fotos.

I ain't sharing the video.
No quiero la vergüenza de compartir mi video. ☺️

Pero! Aquí está mi folleto para visitar España.

I'm now getting to the point where I can write down most of what I want to say, using mostly present and past tenses, without help. And then I check my work on a translator. Getting about 80% of it right 90% of the time lol.

A small folded brochure sits on a laptop. The title says “Visita España!”. There is a picture of the plaza de la Virgen in Valencia.
Showing the reverse side of the brochure which features the flag of Spain on the top and the flags of all the autonomous communities below.
A layout of the first side of the brochure shows three panels with the Visita Espana front panel, and flag back panel on the right and centre and an internal Valencia panel with two pictures, of orange trees, and a fallas float. València - Naranjas, Paellas, Fallas! Valencia es famosa por les mixtura de comida y fiesta! De naranja fresca a una paella deliciosa, hay no comida mas bueno que desde los Valencianos. Casi todos calles en Valencia tiene arboles de naranja. La Bandera de España Visita España! The text says: Un país muy diverso y hermoso. Visita España y tu vas buscar una cultura vibrante con arquitectura fantástico, comida suntuosa, y un población divertido y amable. Cada región es diferente en historia y comida y todos debe ser visitado. Las Banderas de las Communidades Autominas de España Arbol de Naranja en Valencia. (foto Google 2025) La fiesta más famosa es las Fallas. Fuegos artificiales con las carrozas muy grande. Una fiesta especial y espectacular con fuego y artistia. València - Plaza de la Virgen - en la tarde (foto 2017- Chris Alemany) Fuego artificiales y carroza durante las Fallas (foto Google 2025)
The reverse of the brochure layout shows three panels that will all be in the inside of the brochure. From left to right, Capital Madrid shows a picture of the palace grounds, Siglos de Historia shows a picture looking out from a stone portal of the Castle of Xátiva and the last panel on the right shows a table in the market in Barcelona with cuts of fresh Bluefin tuna.

Mostly finished. First time I tried to turn it right side out one of the seams came completely apart, there's others that might follow suit under load, we'll see.
The cardinal cracks me up. I feel an urge to fill it with sunflower seeds and bike to parks and feed birds!

A partial frame bag on a red Trek Checkpoint. The side showing has no zipper in order to not break up the nice Cardinal art from seed bag. The Cardinal is looking forward, surely will make the bike faster!
The zipper side. I opted to try not having the zipper go the full way, which made things kind of complicated and this side has all kinds of crazy seam issues. There’s a “Ultra Clean” panel from seed bag and I took the little Blue Seal seal and used that for covering the zipper end.
No velcro holding this on bike instead I opted for M5 bolts in 3DPrinted thumbscrews. Three of them secure bag to underside of top tube, there’s another for the front into Down tube.

I saw this book on another post - and so went and found a copy at a 2nd hand book shop…
Looking forward to lunches at work with a cup of tea and maybe a couple of rainy Sundays at home…
