Fungi: Friends or Foes--An Outreach Science Initiative for the Collection of Airborne Fungal Spores by High School Students
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
PDF on ERIC Download full text
Daryna Piontkivska; João M. P. Jorge; Rita Neves; Pedro Crespo; Renata Ramalho; Cristina Silva Pereira – Journal of Microbiology & Biology Education, 2024
Fungi mostly reproduce through spores that are adapted for airborne dispersal; hence, fungal spores (and fungi) are found virtually everywhere. Fungi can be "friends or foes." Our friends include fungi used in the food and biotech industries, fungi that contribute to the cycling of carbon and nutrients, and those involved in the…

Chynar Amanova; Judith Dymond – International Journal of Science Education, Part B: Communication and Public Engagement, 2025
It is important that teens are exposed to STEM education both through formal and informal learning opportunities. STEM cafés are an instance of the latter. Within an informal setting, teen science cafés can significantly enhance teens' view of the importance of science in their lives, positively influencing teens' understanding of science in the…

Padgaonkar, Suyog; Schafer, Emily A. – Journal of Higher Education Outreach and Engagement, 2021
Many science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) outreach programs focus on children, but relatively few efforts are dedicated to voting-age populations. These groups are important to reach because misinformation about science is widespread and difficult to detect, often interfering with informed voting on science-related issues. Science…

Radiation Sensors for Medical, Industrial and Environmental Applications: How to Engage with Schools and the General Public
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Seitz, B.; Rivera, N. Campos; Gray, R.; Power, A.; Thomson, F. – Physics Education, 2018
Radiation, radiation detection and radiation protection are topics in physics and its applications which generate a wide interest in the public. This interest is either generated through medical procedures, applications of nuclear energy or nuclear accidents. The technical nature of these topics usually means that they are not well covered in the…
