Pennsylvania spends an average of almost $20,000 per student per year on education statewide, but one candidate for governor has said he thinks that s too much. In his bid for governor, state Sen. Doug Mastriano, R-Franklin, has said he d like to reduce public-school funding by $10,000 per child and give the rest to families for their choice of public, private or home schooling. .
Students at Las Cruces Public Schools that are taking in-person dual credit courses in the fall must follow New Mexico State University s new vaccine mandate.
During a cruise from October to November 2019 along the West Antarctic Peninsula between 64.32ºS and 68.37ºS, we assessed the diversity and composition of the active microbial eukaryotic community within three size fractions: micro- (>20µm), nano- (20-5µm), and pico-size fractions (5-0.2µm). The communities and the environmental parameters displayed latitudinal gradients, and we observed a strong similarity in the microbial eukaryotic communities as well as the environmental parameters, between the sub-surface and the deep chlorophyll maximum (DCM) depths. Chlorophyll concentrations were low, and the mixed layer was shallow for most of the 17 stations sampled. The richness of the microplankton was higher in Marguerite Bay (our southernmost stations), compared to more northern stations, while the diversity for the nano- and pico-plankton was relatively stable across latitude. The microplankton communities were dominated by autotrophs, mostly diatoms, while mi
