Even small crowdsourced projects from teachers make a difference for students
It takes as little as a $400 investment in a teacher-led educational project to improve outcomes for some students, particularly those in lower-income schools, a University of Michigan study on the impact of the crowdsourcing platform DonorsChoose shows.

Human Mini-Lungs Grown in Lab Dishes are Closest Yet to Real Thing
Realistic mini-lungs, grown in lab dishes using adult stem cells, feature all cell types that make up the human organ, allowing for "Phase 0" testing of new treatments for respiratory diseases, including COVID-19 Since the COVID-19 pandemic reached the United States in early 2020, scientists have struggled to find laboratory models of SARS-CoV-2 infection, the respiratory virus that causes COVID-19.

How to make plastic truly biodegradable
The world produces more than 380 million tons of plastic every year, and by some reports, more than a third of that is for products used once and then tossed away, ending up as litter or landfill.
