Mesmerizing satellite imagery of the frigid low dropping down the West Coast, driving an incredibly potent and cold winter storm into California.
Many areas across the state will see their biggest snowstorm in years and SoCal could see one of its biggest winter storms on record.

1 hungry child is too many. 9 million in the US is a crisis. Take action now! Retweet this post and @Citibank will donate $10 to @NoKidHungry through 9/30 or when we reach our $1 million goal. $10 can help provide 100 meals for kids in need. #CitiGiving #GlobalCitizenFestival

This is a terrific @bigthink article on why we remember more reading on paper than digitally. Learned a lot that will help me design new research on the topic. bigthink.com/neuropsych/read…

Check out this new report by @ajmceachin @NWEA @HarvardCEPR ... estimates that high-poverty districts that went remote in 2020-21 will need to spend

About 20,000 young people age out of foster care every year.
Research shows they're more likely to experience homelessness, and less likely to earn a living wage.
Now, some states are rethinking what that transition — and support — should look like.
