Humboldt State University is hosting the 2021 Sandra K. Abell Institute for Doctoral Students (SKAIDS) June 14-19, 2021. The institute is sponsored by NARST, a worldwide organization for improving science teaching and learning through research. The 2021 Institute will be held online with both synchronous and asynchronous components.

It is with a heavy heart that we write to you with the sad news of the passing of NARST past president Norman G. Lederman. Norm passed on the morning of February 26, 2021 after a brief and unexpected illness.
