Pandemic Impact on Students
I was recently reading the January/February 2023 issue of \u201cThe Science Teacher\u201d a publication of the National Science Teaching Association.\xa0\xa0In this issue, I read the \u201cEditor\u2019s Corner\u201d column, written by Ann Haley MacKenzie.\xa0\xa0She wrote an article entitled, \u201cDid the Pandemic Impact the Brains of Our Science Students?\u201d\xa0\xa0
A recent study in the Journal, \u201cBiological Psychiatry: Global Open Science,\u201d found that teen brains aged prematurely during the pandemic.\xa0\xa0The paper states that teenagers\u2019 brains aged several years in just a few months during the isolation and stress of the pandemic lockdown.\xa0\xa0For more information on this study, please visit:
