Israeli Military Medics Are Training On Dead Americans

YouTube

This is horrific and a massive breach of ethics where it concerns consent.

The University of Southern California (#USC) and University of California, San Diego (#UCSD) have millions of dollars in contracts to sell bodies donated for scientific research to the #Navy who gave them to the #IDF. (Our tax dollars at work.)

Yes, the IDF. Easier to know how to kill #Palestinian kids if you take aim at some #American corpses first, I guess.

Both universities have said they plan on continuing the program. Maybe rethink your plans to donate your body to science, if that was on your agenda.

The Take: How US donor bodies were sold for Israeli military training

How donated cadavers from US universities ended up in Israeli military surgical training.

Childhood and Education #18: Do the Math

최근 교육 연구에서 수학 교육의 심각한 문제점과 부정행위 사례가 드러났다. 특히 조 보일러의 연구는 데이터 조작과 부실한 평가로 비판받으며, 이로 인해 베이 지역 중학교에서 대수학 교육이 제거되는 결과를 낳았다. 또한, 학점 인플레이션과 표준화 시험 폐지로 인해 학생들의 실제 수학 능력과 성적 간 괴리가 커지고 있으며, 대학에서도 기초 수학 능력이 부족한 학생들이 많아 remedial math 수업 수요가 급증하고 있다. 이는 수학 교육 시스템 전반의 신뢰성과 효과성에 대한 근본적 재검토가 필요함을 시사한다.

Childhood and Education #18: Do The Math

We did reading yesterday.

Don't Worry About the Vase

1337 $#!+ I did that May 9

I trained on and became among the earliest users of #WebCT in 2000, teaching fully online in 2001 and 2002. It is now called #Canvas, which is one of the largest and most notable hacks of all time, effected by #shinyhunters. #UCSD uses it, and I presume classes will resume, say by email and in person. In recent years I had dumped Canvas except for one huge lecture with TAs where the gradebook was really useful. Not using it this quarter at all, lucky me. Returning to a printed syllabus in future

Ziemlich schräg » Pretty weird

I couldn't figure this one out. The straight translation of this was "pretty weird" but there were a plethora of photos of things on a slant/crooked. Luckily I found a photo in my archives that covered both interpretations. 😄
