    Last , I have to acknowledge $$ support from and to train high-school students in synthetic biology. And if syn biology hardware is too expensive for budget-constrained labs, then to invent frugal ones. FutureOfSTEM = collaborn(high-school + higherEd)

    It's the 1st day of winter, and a surprising little beetle in Sierra Nevada seems to know how to survive snowy winters. With winters changing, researchers are looking to see how well these beetles are adapting. Photo credit: Nathan Rank
