     @openscience ...while some of them will become postdoctoral researchers and will get equally pissed off by the system.

     @openscience Hi, your account sounds interesting., May I make a friendly suggestion? Could you put your hashtags in camel case (think some call it Pascal case)? That is, capitalize first letter of each word in hashtags? That way sight reader software can read it. The visually impaired cam know what’s in your bio and posts.

     I learned this since coming to Mastodon.

     Not so much best as aggressively *poke* out through negative reinforcement agency...

     Now mathematics? We absolutely SMASH that out of all the most resilient children, for absolutely no reason other than most of the competent mathematics teachers have no idea other than "luck" as to how they learned it. And they fail every, single, student, even the gifted ones.

     @openscience What happens? Fear of asking a stupid question, fear of being laughed at or the teacher gets irritated because they don't know the answer(s)?

     Kids are also great writers & artists. If we were better at combining art & writing with science, we'd have a far greater chance of healing our planet @openscience

     @openscience Somehow curiosity gets knocked out of so many people/children!

     @openscience “One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.”

     @openscience That rings so true. I was fascinated by science because of genetics? my dad? my brother? who knows. I loved it, but never had a curriculum to entertain its growth. Once becoming a mom, I've strongly supported STEM for kids. It's most important in the lower income areas where those programs are not as equally funded.

     @openscience See: Gatto, "Against School". It breaks down the how and why we brutalize the curiosity out of our children.

     @openscience It's true. Scientific education is lacking in public education. It isn't always taught with the curious excitement that drives creatives to make discoveries.
