"Here's how you can add email notifications to any Google Form in 5 easy steps: Install the Google Forms add-on, then click the add-ons icon inside the Forms Editor (it is the shape of a puzzle icon), choose the Email Notification for Forms menu and then click the Create New Rule menu. The configuration window will open inside the form editor. Enter your full name (or the sender's name) and also specify the list of one or more email addresses (comma separated) who should receive automatic email notifications when a form is submitted. If you would like to send an auto-confirmation email to the form's respondent after they submit the form, check the Notify Submitter option. You'll also need to select the question in your Google Form that asks the respondent for their email address. Go to the next screen and enter the subject line and message body of the email notification. You can customize the emails and include any of the {{form fields}} in the subject or body as explained in the next section. Click the Create Rule button to activate the form notification. Now open your Google Form, submit a test entry and then go to your Gmail Sent Items folder to see the email notification that has gone out to the recipients."

"Los letrados que representaban a Elsevier declararon que "las actividades ilegales" de Sci-Hub "han causado y seguirán provocando un daño irreparable a la editorial, sus clientes y el público". La parte acusada no asistió al juicio y los analistas que han seguido el proceso creen que Sci-Hub no pagará la indemnización, según informa Nature News. Elbakyan reside fuera de la jurisdicción de la corte y no tiene ningún vínculo con Estados Unidos. Además, no es la primera vez que la investigadora, bautizada como la 'Robin Hood' de la ciencia, se enfrenta a problemas legales. "Es cierto: robo a los editores para dárselo a los científicos", llegó a afirmar en declaraciones a El País la fundadora del servicio, que ofrece de manera gratuita más de sesenta millones de estudios para que los investigadores puedan acceder libremente."

"The Minute Paper comes in many variations, but the simplest one involves wrapping up the formal class period a few minutes early and posing two questions to your students: What was the most important thing you learned today? What question still remains in your mind? Taken together, those two questions accomplish multiple objectives. The first one not only requires students to remember something from class and articulate it in their own words (more about that in a moment), but it also requires them to do some quick thinking. They have to reflect on the material and make a judgment about the main point of that day's class. The second question encourages them to probe their own minds and consider what they haven't truly understood. Most of us are infected by what learning theorists sometimes call "illusions of fluency," which means that we believe we have obtained mastery over something when we truly have not. To answer the second question, students have to decide where confusion or weaknesses remain in their own comprehension of the day's material. Closing connections. If we want students to obtain mastery and expertise in our subjects, they need to be capable of making their own connections between what they are learning and the world around them - current events, campus debates, personal experiences. The last five minutes of class represent an ideal opportunity for students to use the course material from that day and brainstorm some new connections.The metacognitive five. We have increasing evidence from the learning sciences that students engage in poor study strategies. Likewise, research shows that most people are plagued by the illusions of fluency. The solution on both fronts is better metacognition - that is, a clearer understanding of our own learning. What if all of us worked together deliberately to achieve that?Close the loop. Finally, go back to any of the strategies I introduced in my recent column on the first five minutes of clas

"... The prediction is a pretty damn good one. The world is now about 1 degree Celsius (1.8 degrees Fahrenheit) warmer than it was and carbon dioxide levels are at 415 ppm. The estimate was part of Exxon's "high case" scenario, which assumed fossil fuel use would quicken and that the world would be able to tap new reserves in the late 2000s from at the time unreachable shale gas. The memo also warned that the extra carbon dioxide would enhance the greenhouse effect and that an "increase in absorbed energy via this route would warm the earth's surface causing changes in climate affecting atmospheric and ocean temperatures, rainfall patterns, soil moisture, and over centuries potentially melting the polar ice caps." Honestly, it gave me chills re-reading the memo 37 years later. The company clearly described all the horrors we're facing now. The only thing its scientists got wrong was that what they called "potentially serious climate problems" wouldn't emerge until the late 21st century. So much for that. ..."

"In 1973, near the height of the 'population bomb' panic, a computing programme called World1 offered up some predictions for the future. It anticipated a grim picture for humanity based on current trajectories. Tracing categories such as population, pollution and natural-resource usage, World1 calculated that, by 2040, human civilisation would collapse - a century after the best year to have been alive on the planet: 1940. This film was originally broadcast by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) News as part of a report on predictions for the coming decades made by cutting-edge computing technology and leading thinkers of the time. The second segment features interviews with members of the Club of Rome, an elite think tank composed of government officials, academics and business leaders focused on the future of humanity. Their view is a bit sunnier, anticipating a world where global governments are forced to cooperate to solve complex problems, people widen their cultural horizons and work fewer hours, and limited consumption - not wealth - becomes a mark of prestige. Viewed today, it makes for an engrossing artifact, raising far more questions than it answers about humanity's ability to effectively predict its future and correct its course."

"Air pollution may be damaging every organ and virtually every cell in the human body, according to a comprehensive new global review. The research shows head-to-toe harm, from heart and lung disease to diabetes and dementia, and from liver problems and bladder cancer to brittle bones and damaged skin. Fertility, foetuses and children are also affected by toxic air, the review found."

"What is Tour Builder? Tour Builder is a new way to show people the places you've visited and the experiences you had along the way using Google Earth. It lets you pick the locations right on the map, add in photos, text, and video, and then share your creation. How is Tour Builder different from the existing "KML Tour" feature in Google Earth? Tour Builder is accessible from your web browser, makes it easy to add photos and videos to a sequence of locations on Earth, and then share links to these tours with your friends."

"El actual modelo económico basa su esencia en la extracción y empleo continuo de energía y recursos minerales. Existen propuestas políticas que buscan revertir el uso de combustibles fósiles como fuente de energía, hacia otras formas como el sol y el viento, pero no cambian la esencia: extracción y empleo continuo de energía y recursos. Ambos modelos atentan contra los límites físicos del planeta. Estamos en el mes del clima. Los medios ofrecen datos y citan opiniones de expertos. Los divulgadores se apresuran a presentar a la ciencia y el desarrollo tecnológico como única solución sensata al cambio climático. Incluso cuando el último informe del IPCC indica que necesitamos cambios políticos, económicos y sociales drásticos, muchos divulgadores y patrocinadores de la COP25 coinciden al decir que no debemos reducir y cambiar nuestros modos de producción, consumo y transporte. El "act now", para ellos, parece que consiste en reemplazar nuestra producción de energía y modos de transporte por otros más "eficientes" y basados en energías renovables. Pero no hará falta viajar menos, consumir local o compartir medios de transporte porque la magia de la tecnología lo conseguirá. Todo menos cambiar el sistema. Eso sería politizar un problema técnico, dicen. De nuevo, soluciones que ignoran que nuestro planeta y recursos son finitos, y que la cruda realidad es que nos enfrentamos a un agotamiento de las materias necesarias para construir y mantener las propuestas etiquetadas como "renovables" y "sostenibles". En este punto de inflexión de la historia debemos decidir si aprovechamos los escasos recursos de una forma equitativa y realmente sostenible o si, por el contrario, los utilizaremos de manera paradójicamente anticientífica con el objetivo de realizar un último acelerón capitalista para terminar, como civilización, por todo lo grande.
