What are some of the best sources that an instructor (teaching science students how to write) can read in order to improve their instruction. How to start and complete a writing task such as a review paper or a research paper?

There are so many genAI resources students can use (are all trustworthy?). So many approaches students can take. I don't even know where to begin.

Former surgeons general condemn Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s health policies – The Hill

Former surgeons general: RFK Jr. actions ‘endangering the health of the nation’

by Max Rego – 10/08/25 3:57 PM ET

Six former surgeons general criticized Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in a Tuesday op-ed in The Washington Post.

Editor’s Note: I recommend reading also the WP article: https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2025/10/07/surgeons-general-rfk-jr-robert-kennedy/

“The actions of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. are endangering the health of the nation,” the group said. “Never before have we issued a joint public warning like this. But the profound, immediate and unprecedented threat that Kennedy’s policies and positions pose to the nation’s health cannot be ignored.”

The former surgeons general behind the op-ed were Vivek Murthy, Jerome Adams, Richard Carmona, David Satcher, Joycelyn Elders and Antonia Novello. Murthy, Elders and Satcher were appointed by Democratic presidents, while Adams, Carmona and Novello were appointed by Republican presidents. 

In their op-ed, the former surgeons general said that under Kennedy, the “foundations of our nation’s public health system have been undermined.” They specifically criticized the HHS secretary’s longstanding claims that childhood vaccines are linked to autism, his handling of measles outbreaks throughout the country, his recommendation against pregnant women taking Tylenol and his upheaval of a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) vaccine advisory panel. 

In June, Kennedy removed all 17 members of the CDC Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), saying it was necessary to restore trust in vaccines. Kennedy has since replaced those panel members with individuals who have expressed skepticism about the effectiveness of the COVID-19 vaccine.

The ACIP’s recommendations must be approved by the CDC director before being implemented. In August, Kennedy removed former Director Susan Monarez from the post after just weeks on the job. Monarez later said she refused to preapprove the committee’s decisions.

On Monday, the CDC accepted the ACIP’s recommendation that individuals receive the COVID-19 vaccine after consulting with a health provider. Later in the day, acting CDC Director Jim O’Neill called on vaccine manufacturers to split up the measles, mumps and rubella vaccine into three separate shots, taking the same stance as President Trump.

Ex-FBI chief James Comey pleads not guilty to charges of lying to Congress during 2020 testimony

By Callie Teitelbaum, Updated on: October 8, 2025 / 2:02 PM EDT / CBS News

Article image, James Comey.

Former FBI Director James Comey pleaded not guilty to charges stemming from congressional testimony he gave five years ago, appearing in court for an arraignment Wednesday after the Justice Department criminally charged the ex-FBI chief and Trump foe in late September.

The proceeding at the courthouse in Alexandria, Virginia, came nearly two weeks after a federal grand jury indicted him on charges of lying to Congress and obstructing a congressional investigation when he testified before a Senate panel in September 2020.

Comey spoke during the proceedings Wednesday. When the judge asked whether he understood the charges, he replied, “I do, your honor, thank you very much.” Prosecutors did not seek to have him detained, and Comey was released on his own recognizance. 

U.S. District Judge Michael Nachmanoff, who is presiding over the case, set a trial date for early January, though that could change. Comey will seek to have the indictment dismissed before a trial, his lawyer said..

During the arraignment, Nathaniel Lemons, one of the federal prosecutors brought on to work on the case, said it could involve classified information, which could bring complications. Nachmanoff, however, noted that only two charges have been brought against Comey.

“The government is going to be under an extraordinary amount of pressure” to produce classified documents or declassify them, Nachmanoff said. “There should be no reason this case gets off track.”

Patrick Fitzgerald, Comey’s lawyer, told the court that they “see this as a simple case.”

Prosecutors estimated a trial will take two to three days, though Fitzgerald said he would seek to have the case dismissed on several grounds: vindictive and unlawful prosecution, and the legality of interim U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan’s appointment to that role.

Mr. Trump announced last month that he had selected Halligan to temporarily lead the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the Eastern District of Virginia after the abrupt departure of Erik Siebert from the post. 

Siebert had been kept on as the top prosecutor for the office by the judges on the federal district court for the Eastern District of Virginia in May. Because of the involvement of judges in that district in extending Siebert’s tenure as U.S. attorney, the challenge to Halligan’s appointment will be heard by other judges outside the district.

Comey has said he’s innocent and, in a video after he was indicted, declared “let’s have a trial.” His wife, Patrice, and daughter, Maurene, a former prosecutor in New York, were in the courtroom for the proceeding. Maurene Comey was fired from the Justice Department in July and has since sued the Trump administration over her ouster.

The Justice Department’s prosecution of the former FBI director marked a significant escalation in President Trump’s efforts to go after his political foes. Mr. Trump has for years attacked Comey, who was FBI director when the bureau investigated Russian meddling in the 2016 election. 

Days before Comey was indicted, the president took to social media to urge Attorney General Pam Bondi to take action against the former FBI director and other political opponents, writing, “We can’t delay any longer.”

More on Comey’s arraignment

The arraignment took place in open court, but cameras were not allowed.

Comey’s lawyer said his team would file several motions to have the charges dismissed, including alleging the former FBI director is a victim of vindictive prosecution and arguing the U.S. attorney who brought the charges, Halligan, was appointed invalidly

“Patrick Fitzgerald is a hell of a lawyer, and I would not want to pre-guess what strategy he’s going to follow here,” said Mitchell Epner, a partner at the New York law firm Kudman Trachten Aloe Posner.

Where did Comey’s arraignment take place?

Comey was arraigned at the federal courthouse in Alexandria, Virginia, which is part of the Eastern District of Virginia. The case is likely being heard there because the charges are based on a 2020 Senate hearing that Comey attended remotely from his Virginia home.

If the case goes to trial, Comey will face a jury pool made up of residents of the Washington, D.C., suburbs — an area that generally disfavors President Trump. 

Some 62.6% of voters in the eastern district’s Alexandria division voted for Democrat Kamala Harris last year, and 34.1% voted for Mr. Trump. The division includes Alexandria and several other cities and counties in Northern Virginia.

Who is the prosecutor, Lindsey Halligan?

The case against Comey is being overseen by Lindsey Halligan, the acting U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia who was sworn into the role just days before Comey was indicted.

A former Florida insurance lawyer, Halligan previously worked as a personal attorney to Mr. Trump, and was part of his defense team in a federal case accusing him of mishandling classified documents. More recently, Halligan worked as a White House aide.

She took over the office after the resignation of former acting U.S. Attorney Erik Siebert.

In an unusual move, Halligan has handled parts of the prosecution herself so far. She personally signed Comey’s indictment and appeared in court when the grand jury returned the indictment.

Two assistant U.S. attorneys from the Eastern District of North Carolina were added to the case Tuesday: Gabriel Diaz and Nathaniel Lemons.

Who is Comey’s attorney, Patrick Fitzgerald?

Comey is being represented by Fitzgerald, a well-known attorney who retired as a partner at the law firm Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom in 2023.

Fitzgerald was named special counsel in George W. Bush’s administration, to investigate  a 2003 leak that revealed the identity of CIA officer Valerie Plame. He also served as U.S. attorney in Chicago for more than a decade, overseeing the prosecution of Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich.

8 Oct 'Why do you think some people don't see value in creativity?'

We are all creative.

It's all about education.

This is a generalisation … I get the feeling that people conflate “creativity” with “talent”.

You don’t need to be talented to be creative.

I fear this subtlety is lost, even amongst teachers (and ex-teachers), hence we cannot blame the population at large for a common misconception.

Hegseth’s hunt for Charlie Kirk critics spans nearly 300 investigations – The Washington Post

Hegseth’s sprawling hunt for Charlie Kirk critics spans nearly 300 investigations

The inquiry, resulting in a smattering of disciplinary action so far, follows an extraordinary Pentagon directive aimed at silencing criticism of the slain activist and Trump supporter.

The Pentagon has investigated nearly 300 Defense Department employees, including service members, civilian workers and contractors, for comments appearing online after last month’s shooting death of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, according to documents reviewed by The Washington Post.

The sweeping, ongoing inquiry, which has resulted in a smattering of disciplinary action so far, follows an extraordinary directive by the department’s political leadership to silence criticism of a prominent, polarizing figure who was unabashed in his views and fervent support for President Donald Trump.

The order from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to target those critical of Kirk, former defense officials and congressional Democrats say, reflects a deepening alarm over the former Fox News personality’s stewardship of the military, whose personnel are expected to remain loyal to the Constitution, not any one party or president.

Since taking office, Hegseth has routinely subverted those norms — saying as recently as last week that the nation’s generals and admirals should quit if they don’t support the Trump administration’s bid to impose what opponents say are regressive policies on the armed forces. Troops faced similar choices — get in line or get out — under the Biden administration’s coronavirus vaccine mandate, resulting in the dismissal of thousands.

Hegseth and his political staff have argued forcefully that speech celebrating or mocking the Turning Point USA founder’s death is itself an illicit partisan activity subject to disciplinary action up to and including termination.

“It’s a violation of the oath, it’s conduct unbecoming, it’s a betrayal of the Americans they’ve sworn to protect & dangerously incompatible with military service,” Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell wrote on social media last month. In a statement provided to The Post for this article, he emphasized the point, saying, “Those in our ranks who rejoice at an act of domestic terrorism are unfit to serve the American people.”Advertisement

Kirk’s death at age 31 set off a nationwide debate on political violence that was seized on by the Trump administration to villainize some left-leaning groups as terrorists — often while not acknowledging the violence that liberal public figures also have endured.

And even as he cracks down on commentary about Kirk’s death, Hegseth himself has appeared to condone similarly inappropriate remarks. Last year, before he was defense secretary, Hegseth grinned and joked along with a guest on Fox News about the vicious hammer attack on Paul Pelosi, husband of former House speaker Nancy Pelosi. He later composed himself and said, “We wish him well.”

Critics of the administration have decried what they say is its blatant hypocrisy, noting a refusal to condemn political violence on all sides. Opponents point to the president’s public silence earlier this year after Melissa Hortman, a leading Democratic lawmaker in Minnesota — Hegseth’s home state — was gunned down along with her husband in what authorities say was a targeted political assassination. Trump himself was twice targeted by would-be assassins during last year’s campaign.

For some reason, @0xabad1dea 's post about a story they read in school made me think of my grade 7 English class & some of the things I read in it (40-*mumble* years ago):

- Steinbeck's **The Red Pony** which deals with "the inevitability of death for all living things".

- I chose a biography of **Malcolm X** for my book report.

- **A Wizard of Earthsea** by Ursula Le Guin which touches on race, power, death, balance, & identity.

Pretty heavy stuff for an 11 year old!

By refusing the class size limit he's saying "We'll hire now, but we won't keep up with growth for the future and you'll be back to the same place in years."

The class size limit is the important guarantee to maintain hiring into the future, and guaranteeing a future for our kids is what this whole strike is about.

It's like how they inherited the highest minimum wage in the country, then stagnated it into the lowest minimum wage in the country.
