These educators set out to develop meaningful problem-based learning for sixty 7th grade students enrolled in an interdisciplinary STEM class. In their hometown there was an old, unlined landfill that closed in 1983 and since its closure, community baseball fields were opened on the northern periphery of the site. Our research supported the engineers’ phytoremediative approach...

Perineuronal Nets (PNN’s) were first discovered at the end of the 19th century. A PNN is a specialized extracellular matrix (ECM) structure that surrounds specific cell types within the central nervous system. PNN’s serve a wide variety of functions, including protection, assisting normal function, providing anchor points for neurons and glial cells, aiding in neurotransmission, neurodevelopment, and neuroplasticity. Recently ECM has been incorporated as a functioning unit into the model of the standard synapse. The...
