Assessments as Sites for Teacher Sensemaking About Epistemic Learning Goals in Science
ABSTRACT Recent science education reforms aim to broaden allowable ways of knowing and learning in science classes. Doing so requires that we attend to and work to shift messages about useful ways to know and learn (i.e., epistemological messages) embedded in course designs and enactments.

ABSTRACT Microplastic (MP) pollution is widely recognized as an emerging environmental threat. Yet, most studies still rely on controlled experimental conditions that poorly reflect environmental complexity, potentially underestimating risks under realistic scenarios, particularly during short‐term exposures. Here, we tested whether acute oral exposure

Strengthening urban deer management with structured decision making
Urban deer management (UDM) decision‐makers face social, ecological, regulatory, and economic pressures when creating an agreeable deer management plan for stakeholders. Historically, decision making techniques (e.g. consensus‐based analyses) have not effectively balanced UDM elements leading to short‐lived management progress.

DETERMINANTS OF IRRIGATION TECHNOLOGY CHOICE [PDF]
Two discrete choice models relate the probability of choosing two water-saving irrigation technologies - —sprinkler and tailwater recovery pits- —to the underlying physical and economic attributes of the farming using a national cross section of farm ...
