Has President Trump Scared Away All the Foreign Students? – by Alex Usher
The United States has long been the world’s most popular destination for international students studying abroad. Yet in 2017–18, American universities sustained a 6.6 percent drop in new enrollments by foreign students, continuing a trend that began in 2015–16 and causing much handwringing in higher-education circles and the media.

For the sake of argument, we'll use this as an example post:"I just don't buy it, climate change is not caused by humans" UserB, a friend of UserA visits...

Research found some plants have been going extinct up to 350 times faster than the historical average. Agriculture and urbanisation were important drivers of plant extinctions in both hot- and coldspots, confirming the general belief that habitat destruction is the primary cause of most extinctions.

I read his book Zero to One, listened to him talk on various podcasts, and generally follow what he does. He's a really interesting guy. I mean, the dude is a gay billionaire Republican/libertarian from Germany who made his billions in Silicon Valley. He invented Paypal with Elon Musk and he's a Trump supporter. Wtf, right?

New blood test may detect concussion and subconcussive injuries in children and adults (n=3,462). Subconcussive injuries often show no symptoms or immediate effects, but can cause wear and tear on the brain over time with repeated injuries, so it’s better to spot these injuries as early as possible.

Early improvements in preschoolers' skills help explain long-term benefits of intervention
(Society for Research in Child Development) Current research findings are mixed as to whether preschool programs can improve individuals' outcomes in the long term, with some studies pointing to benefits years later and others showing a fadeout of cognitive gains as early as elementary school. A new longitudinal study explored the long-term impacts of a preschool quality improvement program for low-income children on their self-regulation and academic skills in high school.
