Send us a Text Message.What if understanding your child's brain could transform your parenting approach? Join us in this episode of Legit Parenting as seasoned child and family therapist Craig Knippenberg, LCSW, M.Div and special guest Dr. Robin McEvoy, a developmental neuropsychologist, joins us to shed light on the identification and management of learning disabilities and developmental challenges in children, offering invaluable advice for parents during the crucial summer break.Navigating the maze of parental concerns can be overwhelming, especially with the added pressures of modern education and the lingering effects of COVID-19. We'll discuss the importance of tailored educational approaches and the benefits of reducing homework to improve both mental health and learning outcomes. Dr. McEvoy emphasizes the significance of understanding family and medical history when addressing learning disabilities, advocating for early evaluations and interventions.We'll talk about the critical roles of nutrition, hydration, sleep, and exercise in a child's overall well-being, especially for those with attention deficit disorders. Practical strategies for reinforcing positive behavior and building new skills in children are shared, along with a discussion on balancing naturopathic approaches with medication when necessary. Dr. Robin McEvoy has been practicing developmental neuropsychology for 30 years. With each evaluation, she asks herself, “How can I help.” Many parents bring their kids in for evaluation because they are still struggling, despite working with a psychiatrist, a psychologist, a learning specialist or a whole team of specialists. The parents were doing “standard of care” thoroughly, but it was not enough. There were times she worried that she would not find a way to help, that the parents were already doing everything possible.But she hates the thought of saying there was nothing else to be done. So instead of saying that, she decided to dig deeper. She dug into nutrition, sleep, medical conditions and myriad of complementary and alternative approaches to learning and behavior. (And while digging, she met Child Decoded co-founder, Kim Gangwish.)By developing a more thorough understanding of the mind/body integration, she began to find other avenues that actually opened up new possibilities for children. She loves having options for families who had been told to just accept their child's challenges and live with them. She had been told the same thing about her own daughter who had a severe speech disability and sensory issues. As both a developmental neuropsychologist and a parent, she became expert at mapping out paths through difficult presentations.Dr. McEvoy earned her PH.D. in Developmental Psychology from the University of Houston, then went on to fellow in Psychobiology/Neuropsychology at the University of Colorado Medical School. She holds a research faculty position at the University of Colorado, and also maintains a private practice where she can evaluate using the Child Decoded model.Evaluation is the heart of her work with children: helping families, pediatricians, and school districts to find a deeper understanding of complex challenges. Dr. McEvoy enjoys writing and blogs frequently for Child Decoded. She loves public speaking and is a highly rated speaker.You can read more about Robin McEvoy at her website www.robinmcevoy.com. She blogs about learning and learning challenges as well as tons about “behavior problems in children” because she has strong opinions about that. You can follow her on Facebook at www.facebook.com/DrRobinMcEvoy or on Twitter at twitter.com/RobinMcEvoy.
In this week's episode, we had the pleasure of hosting Middle School science teachers, Marisable Soliman and Thomas Howard, who were joined by two students, Anna and Jona. They engaged in a discussion about their recent learning experiences and the integration of students and teachers in mixed-age group science classes this school year. Thomas provided an overview of Unit 1, which comprised six distinct lessons forming the foundation of the learning process. Marisabel highlighted the abundance of hands-on experiences offered to students, allowing them to truly engage with the subject matter. "They had the opportunity to get their hands dirty," she added. The two teachers also shed light on the teaching model employed in mixed-age group classes, which aims to provide students with greater flexibility and motivation in their learning journey. “It's not a traditional model of teaching where” and “It's a very active zone”, said Marisabel. Instead of only lecture-based, students are spread out in the learning areas with more learning options, “we're moving”, added her. Anna, a Grade 7 student, emphasized how her motivation to learn increased when she had the chance to attend classes with Grade 8 students, while also forming new friendships. “We got to focus, we got to get this done. So, then we're on the same page as them, ” said her. In the mixed-age group class, Grade 8 student Jona had the opportunity to assist a student from a lower grade level, an experience that left him feeling fulfilled and more confident in his own learning. Meanwhile, he also emphasized how the two grade levels can facilitate each other's learning, “Some topics we know better because we had that last year a bit. But some topics we weren't so familiar with because we didn't do that in depth. But the seventh graders did. So they can teach us.” If you want to find out more about how Middle School students are adapting to the mixed-age group class at WAB, be sure to listen to this episode.
Harvey Seifter, founder and director of Art of Science Learning (www.artofsciencelearning) and Principal Investigator of its two National Science Foundation grants, is one of the world's leading authorities on organizational creativity and arts‐based learning.

This episode is about art, innovation and leadership. What is the relationship between art-based learning, innovation and co-creation? How do you lead an ensemble of leaders? And why do people often use the metaphor of a conductor when discussing leadership? Or, is a conductor actually just a middle manager? So, today we are in New York and talking with Harvey Seifter. Harvey is the founder of The Art of Science Learning, a US National Science Foundation-funded initiative that uses the arts to spark innovation in science, technology, engineering and education. And Harvey is also a classically trained musician and formerly served as Executive Director of the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra. The only orchestra in the world that rehearses and performs without a conductor. Harvey shares with us insights on giving directions as a ‘decision maker of last resort' - as he calls it - stimulating co-creation and what this means for the innovative power of the organisation. Well, you can say we have learnings here for any organisation. By the way: we recorded this episode via Zoom when Harvey returned just a few days from his Ted talk in Madrid; before the talk, he lost his voice and finally did the TED talk without repetition. To spare his voice and energy, we stopped the recording at a certain point and agreed to have a second conversation in the very near future. So listen to Part One with Harvey Seifter and how you lead an orchestra of leaders.

Suzanne Sprague and Virtual Science Teachers - Providing Free Science Learning Resources. This is episode 560 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast. Suzanne is passionate about teaching and firmly believes in the transformative power of education to unlock people's potential. She has a background teaching in-person high school physics and chemistry and online middle school science. To make her online teaching more effective and enjoyable for both her and her students, Suzanne developed skills as an online content creator. When Covid-19 dramatically increased the need for online resources for teachers everywhere, Suzanne used her background in science education and love for online content creation to create and share resources that could be used during distance learning. Teacher feedback and increased use of the online resources, even after a return to in-class instruction, made it clear that Virtual Science Teachers was meeting a need. Suzanne realized that, thanks to dramatic increase in student computer use and internet access, we have a new opportunity to bring engaging interactive learning experiences into every science classroom. So, Suzanne registered Virtual Science Teachers as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and is now working with an incredible team of professionals with the mission of making science learning equitable by providing free science learning resources that teachers and students love.

She was the Director of Distance Learning at the University of Minnesota's Bell Museum of Natural History, where the program she created won the equivalent of an Emmy for Science Learning. Her work was rewarding, but it was also taxing on her health. She finally backed away to take care of herself and her family and established her home office in 1999.In 2004, she was introduced to Feng Shui (Fung Schway) through a series of serendipitous events. When her husband decided to opt-out of a Feng Shui retreat he had signed up for, she willingly took his place. After learning Western Feng Shui at this retreat, she knew there had to be more to the story and began studying with Dato Joey Yap of the Mastery Academy of Chinese Metaphysics in Malaysia. In 2008, She earned her Master's degrees in both Feng Shui and BaZi (Destiny Analysis) and continued to refine her knowledge in other aspects of metaphysics.Today, women who are on a quest for success and happiness hire her to help them transform their lives and find their joy because most of them are too busy, frustrated, and emotionally drained from giving so much to others. She provides the catalyst to design their life destiny connected beautifully with their Divine Source.The bottom line is, she helps women stop fighting for their lives and start living better.Amy provides courses, seminars, and consulting through her company Infinity Life Design located in the rolling countryside just outside of Minneapolis, Minnesota.She is a business owner, mentor, mother, wife, daughter, sister, and friend. She believes in the power of positive thought and the power of personal responsibility.

In November 2020, the world's first Virtual Indigenous Circle on Open Science and the Decolonization of Knowledge took place. The Circle format was designed by Dr Lorna Wanósts'a7 Williams and featured nearly 20 Indigenous speakers from around the world. They came together to inform UNESCO's recommendation on Open Science and ensure that Indigenous knowledge and perspectives would be incorporated respectfully and with integrity into the recommendation.In this episode, four of those participants (Lorna Wanósts'a7 Williams, Greg Cajete, Manulani Aluli Meyer, and Sonajharia Minz) have gathered again to extend that conversation and further speak to Indigenous epistemologies, their personal journeys in science and academia, and many vital reflections on being attuned to the quality of our relationships, changing our consciousness, cultivating a sense of reverence, and much much more.

Up In The Lab: A Free-for-All Clinical Lab Science Learning Experience
With a 60 plus year track record of delivering some REAL value to science teachers nation-wide, I was a little nervous about how I was going to bring any juice to the table during this conversation. This week, I spoke with Rob Smariga, Director of Operations and Finance and BSCS Science Learning. These guys have a long track record of transforming science learning education through research-driven innovation It turned out to be a REALLY great show where we discussed all sorts of interesting ways they have upped their game and expanded their reach through the somewhat forced move to virtual engagement with both their team and their stakeholders.The big ah ha came toward the end of our conversation when we started talking about value exchange and how one doesn't have to come at the opportunity to assist and build a relationship head on. Simply approaching outreach from a position of altruism where you can share your expertise that may be mission-tangential can produce real opportunities to engage. (This portion of our discussion begins at about 42:00). We also talked quite a bit about simply creating brand awareness through offers to present at virtual conferences (again, not necessarily focused on selling, but more on helping) and how pay-per-click (PPC) advertising isn't just about the clicks (starts about 36-minutes in). I really hope you enjoy this show. It was a delightful conversation.Show notes and links:BSCS Science LearningAction Ask:Pay it forward. Help someone else be more successful in life.

I was recently reading the September/October, 2020 issue of “Science Scope,” a publication of the National Science Teaching Association. In this issue, I read the Online Teacher column “Creating a New Environment for Science Learning” written by Denise Wright. Moving from the face-to-face classroom to the online setting doesn't happen without challenges. The main objective is for all students to have a passion for learning. A positive online learning environment can be created from a personalized approach. Making a personalized connection is the key to building a positive climate in an online classroom.

Harvey Seifter is Director and Principal Investigator at Art of Science Learning and the Founder and Managing Director at Creating Futures That Work. In this week's episode, Mark and Harvey discuss a range of topics related to how the arts can spark creativity in science education and the development of an innovative 21st Century STEM workforce, including: The investigative nature of science and the arts and the potential of ABL to foster passion for exploration and discovery in young learners. What first led Harvey to the hypothesis that incorporating arts-based learning could spark interest in science, spur innovation, and encourage collaboration in adults What Harvey's work found in terms of how the integration of ABL into science education can spur greater interest in the study of science and inspire students to want to learn more about, and potential pursue, careers in STEM fields Whether his work includes in its scope what may be happening neurologically to trigger this behavior, and if he has any theories at this point Details about the symposia and roundtables he's held at places like the Smithsonian, Illinois Institute of Technology, and California Institute of Telecommunications and Information Technology What fascinates him about his work What are the implications, in his view, of the connection between ABL and innovation Is art - which appeals to perhaps a different dimension than fact - an example of connection with students through emotion Resources mentioned in the episode artofsciencelearning.org
Do you want to reduce stress, get better sleep, experience less anxiety, and have more emotional control? More and more research is showing that deep breathing exercises can help. If you’re constantly feeling off-balance, using daily breathwork practices might be the answer. So, let's take a deep, cleansing breath and dive right into it. WELCOME TO THE DARIN OLIEN SHOW. On this podcast, you'll hear me, Darin Olien, "the superfood hunter," have honest conversations with the extraordinary people that inspire me. I hope that through their knowledge and unique perspectives, they'll inspire you, too. Although our ideas and approaches to life may differ, our ultimate goal is the same- to save the planet one conversation at a time. So, if you're interested in expanding your view of the world by learning new perspectives on health, nutrition, and healing the planet, this podcast is for you. Dr. Andrew Huberman Tries to Find the Small Connecting Pieces to Life’s Biggest Puzzles Since he can remember, Andrew has had a fascination with animals and biology. In particular, their shapes, how they move, and their unique specializations. As a kid, he would read countless animal encyclopedias. He would try to figure out where we, as animals, fit into this world. Today, Andrew is an absolute powerhouse in neurological research. He is a neuroscientist and tenured professor in the Department of Neurobiology at Stanford University School of Medicine. He is the founder of the Huberman Lab, where he's involved in tons of breakthrough research on brain function, brain plasticity (the brain's ability to change as a result of experiences), and brain regeneration. In his life-long quest to relieve suffering, The Huberman Lab focuses a lot on the visual system. Dr. Huberman’s team is currently studying how virtual reality can get rid of fear and anxiety and preserve sight in glaucoma patients. In fact, these insane experiments resulted in Andrew diving with great white sharks and climbing mountains without ropes or harnesses- all in the name of science, of course. In addition, his work in the Huberman Lab at Stanford has been heavily featured in Science, Discover, Scientific American, Time, and the New York Times. In 2013, Andrew received the McKnight Foundation Neuroscience Scholar Award and the Biomedical Scholar Award from the Pew Charitable Trusts due to his research. Then, in 2017, Andrew also won the ARVO Cogan Award. Primarily because of his contributions to vision science. In this episode, Andrew and I talk about why stress is actually good for your immune system. Also, we dive into the immense stress-relieving power behind breathwork and how your eyeballs are just another part of your brain. This totally fascinating episode gets right to the heart of proper breathing practices and how this simple act can positively impact your state of mind. Guys, this is not one to be missed! Other topics in this episode: Andrew's scientific roots From college dropout to world-renowned neuroscientist The ethics of neuroscience Hollywood photographers, great white sharks, and underwater brain scans The light and dark side of Artificial Intelligence in Science Learning to be calm in an elevated state The benefits of deep breathing and breathwork The simple steps towards proper breathing techniques Why stress doesn't lower your immunity Our cells and carbon dioxide More Great Resources and Information: The Huberman Lab's Website:hubermanlab.com Andrew on Instagram- @hubermanlab Andrew on LinkedIn Andrew on Wikipedia Huberman Lab Publications New In Health: Dr. Andrew Huberman on Virtual Reality Research Joe Rogan Experience #1513 - Andrew Huberman The Rich Roll Podcast - Change Your Brain: Neuroscientist Dr. Andrew Huberman Netflix’ Down To Earth’ Official Trailer Download Darin’s amazing new lifestyle app and get 3 days free at 121Tribe.com Barukas Nuts 15% discount with code “DARIN” The Darin Olien Show is produced by the team at Must Amplify.

A new series of research papers relating to science learning in the early years has been published by ACER (the Australian Council for Educational Research). The series aims to help educators of children in preschool to Year 2 to incorporate the latest research into science learning into their teaching. The authors discuss the significance of the particular subject, the relevant research, how it links to outcomes in the Early Years Learning Framework (or EYLF) as well as some aspects of the Australian Curriculum. They also describe a handful of activities that can be completed with children to help develop their science inquiry skills, like observing plants, and exploring light and shadows. These activities can also assist educators in monitoring the science learning of the children they’re teaching. They’re suitable for parents whose children are learning at home, as well. In this episode, we're joined by a co-author of the series, Gayl O’Connor, a Senior Research Fellow at ACER. You’ll pick up on the big emphasis on why integrating science learning in the early years is so beneficial for children and their teachers, and we also discuss identifying and managing common misconceptions children might have about science concepts; and managing a lack of confidence in science as an educator.

What is data science? What does a data scientist do? These are fundamental questions we will be talking about today. Data science is a multidisciplinary discipline with the prime objective of extracting value in all its forms from data. Data science is a process since you need to dig into the data processing stages, from munging data sources and data cleaning to machine learning and finally visualization, you see that specific steps are involved in turning raw data into insight. Today is my 5th week of #StayHome due to COVID-19 and we are getting used to this new reality – new normal. As we are finding out, lockdown is not going to be temporary by any means, and we might be confined to working from home for several months…… no idea. we all can just pray and hope it will get over quickly and we will go back to our normal life. Data science shows patterns and observations that can be used by companies to make better choices and develop more creative products and services. Data is the foundation stone of innovation, but its value comes from the knowledge scientists who can learn from it and then act on it.

Who is excluded from science? What is the role of museums in this exclusion? In Equity, Exclusion and Everyday Science Learning: The Experiences of Minoritised Groups (Routledge, 2019), Dr Emily Dawson, an Associate Professor in the Department of Science and Technology Studies at University College London, introduces the idea of everyday science learning to critically engage with our understandings of science and the role of institutions in that understanding. The book challenges science centres and museums to move from participation policies and schemes, which have failed to significantly change the institution and its audience, to offer recognition and respect to diverse social groups. The need for change is grounded in detailed empirical work across a range of communities and organisations in London, with lessons that go well beyond science education and debates over the role of the museum. The book is essential reading for all social science and humanities scholars, as well as offering important insights for scientists too. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This is the second of four conversations Gudrun had during the British Applied Mathematics Colloquium which took place 5th – 8th of April 2016 in Oxford. Helen Wilson always wanted to do maths and had imagined herself becoming a mathematician from a very young age. But after graduation she did not have any road map ready in her mind. So she applied for jobs which - due to a recession - did not exist. Today she considers herself lucky for that since she took a Master's course instead (at Cambridge University), which hooked her to mathematical research in the field of viscoelastic fluids. She stayed for a PhD and after that for postdoctoral work in the States and then did lecturing at Leeds University. Today she is a Reader in the Department of Mathematics at University College London. So what are viscoelastic fluids? If we consider everyday fluids like water or honey, it is a safe assumption that their viscosity does not change much - it is a material constant. Those fluids are called Newtonian fluids. All other fluids, i.e. fluids with non-constant viscosity or even more complex behaviours, are called non-Newtonian and viscoelastic fluids are a large group among them. Already the name suggests, that viscoelastic fluids combine viscous and elastic behaviour. Elastic effects in fluids often stem from clusters of particles or long polymers in the fluid, which align with the flow. It takes them a while to come back when the flow pattern changes. We can consider that as keeping a memory of what happened before. This behaviour can be observed, e.g., when stirring tinned tomato soup and then waiting for it to go to rest again. Shortly before it finally enters the rest state one sees it springing back a bit before coming to a halt. This is a motion necessary to complete the relaxation of the soup. Another surprising behaviour is the so-called Weissenberg effect, where in a rotation of elastic fluid the stretched out polymer chains drag the fluid into the center of the rotation. This leads to a peak in the center, instead of a funnel which we expect from experiences stirring tea or coffee. The big challenge with all non-Newtonian fluids is that we do not have equations which we know are the right model. It is mostly guess work and we definitely have to be content with approximations. And so it is a compromise of fitting what we can model and measure to the easiest predictions possible. Of course, slow flow often can be considered to be Newtonian whatever the material is. The simplest models then take the so-called retarded fluid assumption, i.e. the elastic properties are considered to be only weak. Then, one can expand around the Newtonian model as a base state. The first non-linear model which is constructed in that way is that of second-order fluids. They have two more parameters than the Newtonian model, which are called normal stress coefficients. The next step leads to third-order fluids etc. In practice no higher than third-order fluids are investigated. Of course there are a plethora of interesting questions connected to complex fluids. The main question in the work of Helen Wilson is the stability of the flow of those fluids in channels, i.e. how does it react to small perturbations? Do they vanish in time or could they build up to completely new flow patterns? In 1999, she published results of her PhD thesis and predicted a new type of instability for a shear-thinning material model. It was to her great joy when in 2013 experimentalists found flow behaviour which could be explained by her predicted instability. More precisely, in the 2013 experiments a dilute polymer solution was sent through a microchannel. The material model for the fluid is shear thinning as in Helen Wilson's thesis. They observed oscillations from side to side of the channel and surprising noise in the maximum flow rate. This could only be explained by an instability which they did not know about at that moment. In a microchannel inertia is negligible and the very low Reynolds number of suggested that the instability must be caused by the non-Newtonian material properties since for Newtonian fluids instabilities can only be observed if the flow configuration exeeds a critical Reynolds number. Fortunately, the answer was found in the 1999 paper. Of course, even for the easiest non-linear models one arrives at highly non-linear equations. In order to analyse stability of solutions to them one firstly needs to know the corresponding steady flow. Fortunately, if starting with the easiest non-linear models in a channel one can still find the steady flow as an analytic solution with paper and pencil since one arrives at a 1D ODE, which is independent of time and one of the two space variables. The next question then is: How does it respond to small perturbation? The classical procedure is to linearize around the steady flow which leads to a linear problem to solve in order to know the stability properties. The basic (steady) flow allows for Fourier transformation which leads to a problem with two scalar parameters - one real and one complex. The general structure is an eigenvalue problem which can only be solved numerically. After we know the eigenvalues we know about the (so-called linear) stability of the solution. An even more interesting research area is so-called non-linear stability. But it is still an open field of research since it has to keep the non-linear terms. The difference between the two strategies (i.e. linear and non-linear stability) is that the linear theory predicts instability to the smallest perturbations but the non-linear theory describes what happens after finite-amplitude instability has begun, and can find larger instability regions. Sometimes (but unfortunately quite rarely) both theories find the same point and we get a complete picture of when a stable region changes into an unstable one. One other really interesting field of research for Helen Wilson is to find better constitutive relations. Especially since the often used power law has inbuilt unphysical behaviour (which means it is probably too simple). For example, taking a power law with negative exponent says that In the middle of the flow there is a singularity (we would divide by zero) and perturbations are not able to cross the center line of a channel. Also, it is unphysical that according to the usual models the shear-thinning fluid should be instantly back to a state of high viscosity after switching off the force. For example most ketchup gets liquid enough to serve it only when we shake it. But it is not instantly thick after the shaking stops - it takes a moment to solidify. This behaviour is called thixotropy. Literature and additional material H. Wilson: UCL Lunch Hour Lectures, Feb. 2016. H.J. Wilson and J.M.
