I can't recommend working with Galactic Polymath highly enough!! ππ
We CAN'T actually keep our eyes on the ball...π― We teamed up with Galactic Polymath to animate how our eyes detect and track fast moving objects. This research is used by the Air Force to build better software systems for optical hardware. youtube.com/watch?v=-EDQTwβ¦
Very excited to share our video supporting this amazing research that made the cover of Current Biology! "Keep your eye on the ball! (Why robber flies canβt and neither can you)" π½οΈyoutube.com/watch?v=-EDQTwβ¦ feat Stephanie Castillo, Ph.D. Sykom

*New FREE Release!* β’Why do animals live in groups? β’How does complexity emerge from simple rules? β’Why do echo chambers form in social media? π€πJust a few Qs students dive into in our latest unit! feat Albert Kao Stephanie Castillo, Ph.D. Caroline Hu galacticpolymath.com/lessons/en-US/7
Birdsong folks! I'm working on a Galactic Polymath unit w/ Creanza Lab to get students more curious about the bird sounds around them. We're designing a video challenge to identify birdsongs in popular media: TV, movies, games. Looking for accurate+inaccurate exmaples. Suggestions?
On this last day of #AANHPI Heritage Month, super excited to share Pacific H2O: a 4 lesson high school unit that applies engineering mindsets to water purification through a Pacific lens!
