#298: What they're *not* teaching kids today
This week:
- Climate change in the curriculum
- Increasingly divergent subvariants
- Cell-cultured meat
- RSV vaccines are coming
- Generative AI (...didn't write this, but it might one day)
Here's What You Can Do:
- Teachers can't teach without understanding the material. Check out ClimeTime and the CLEAN project for free, vetted resources for educators K-12.
- Bring everyone you know to get their bivalent boosters, bring masks back (they can help defend against the flu and RSV too), and improve your air quality wherever you can
- Our friends at Climate Tech VC put together a free deep-dive on methane emissions from cows. Read it and get up to speed.
- Join our friends at Pod Save America to call, text, knock on doors, and vote for people who will fight for the 75% of Americans who don't have access to paid leave through an employer
- Check out Bleeding Edge AI for a cool timeline for developments as they happen, and/or Ben's Bites, a free, digestible, pithy email update with all things generative AI
