1st students read & made a pro/con list. Success. 2nd students skimmed same article thru a credibility lens. Um, not credible. Learning not to let the task at hand (research) supplant critical thinking. They go hand in hand. @BoykinBryan @APSLibrarians @APSscience @wmspta_wolves

Polishing the Research Hub. Created example notes page. Tried to incorporate the phrase "MooLoo" from one of the articles (describing training cows to urinate in one place in their pen), but couldn't quite get there. *Science is fun!* #wmsresearches @BoykinBryan @APSscience
