Semana 1 – Día 1
Students today have never lived in a world without social media. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram,
and TikTok are a few of the most popular social-media websites and apps. They can be a fun
way to connect with friends and family, especially those who live far away. Sometimes, people
use social media to find jobs. But social media also attracts cyberbullies and trolls who seek to
anger or annoy people. And hackers use social media to steal people’s personal information.
Here, six TIME for Kids readers answer our debate question: Is social media good for society?
Yes!
Akshat Chakrabarti, 8
Manalapan Township, New Jersey
Social media is a great way to connect with people who you may not see all the time. It’s also
great for making friends. Social media helps you build connections with kids who have the same
interests. It is a quick way for people to get to know each other, even if they’re living across the
world from one another.
No!
Rania Noorani, 11
Duluth, Georgia
Although social media is somewhat fun, we’ve gotten to the point where people can’t put down
their phones. Social media is changing our world completely. It causes people not to be their
true selves and to pretend to be happy, just for public approval.
Yes!
Matthew Wrigley, 10
Farmington, Maine
Social media is good for society because it lets you write to people if you need help. You can
interact with other people and have fun. You can learn from people who live in different
countries. If you have a question, you can ask someone. There is cyberbullying, but you can
block people who post mean comments.
No!
Katie Ong, 10
Los Angeles, California
When children use social media, they post stuff that parents may not want others to see. This
may affect their privacy. Also, when kids use social media, they may be anxious that their
friends’ lives are better than theirs. Some people only post the good parts of life. This can lead
others to jealousy or depression.
Yes!
Jada Mosley, 10

Carol Stream, Illinois

In a world that is sometimes boring, social media offers incredible benefits. It can be
entertaining. It can spread positivity and kindness. Furthermore, social media can introduce
peers and children to new content and positive ideas.
No!
Sia Satish, 10
West Windsor Township, New Jersey
Students can be enticed by their friends to follow trends on TikTok or Snapchat. They try to
portray themselves as cool, to fit into a group. Sometimes, social media promotes bad practices
or harmful activities. This can hurt people physically and mentally.

Scientists Train Nerve Cells in a Dish to Play Video Game

Researchers in Australia have shown that human nerve cells in a dish can form a “brain” that
can learn to play a simple video game. The research could help scientists understand the brain
better. It could also lead to new kinds of computers.
Growing Cells in a Lab
Cells are the basic building block for living things. For decades, scientists have been using cells
from humans and other animals for experiments. These living cells can be kept alive and grown
in small dishes in a laboratory.
Neurons, or nerve cells, are special cells that make up much of the brain. In the brain, neurons
send small electrical signals to each other. This is the main way our brains send and receive
information to and from the rest of our bodies. When nerve cells are grown in a dish, they
automatically form connections with each other.
Researchers at Cortical Labs in Australia wanted to see if they could use nerve cells in a dish to
control a simple video game. It was an unusual idea. Scientists had measured the activity of
neurons in a dish before. But they hadn’t tried to send information to these neurons and get a
reaction back.
To communicate with the neurons in the dish, the scientists grew nerve cells over a small
electronic chip. The chip had lots of “electrodes”, where electrical signals could be sent to – or
read from – the nerve cells. The researchers called their project “DishBrain”.
The game the scientists chose was a simple version of “Pong”. Pong was an early computer
game that was a little like ping-pong. A “ball” bounces around the screen, and players have to
move a “paddle” up or down to keep the ball from bouncing off the side of the screen.
Here’s how it worked: A computer used electrical signals to send DishBrain information about
where the ball was, and how it was moving. DishBrain’s neurons would react in some way, and
that information would be sent back to the computer.
But why would a dish of nerve cells want to learn to play Pong? The researchers couldn’t reward
it with food like you might with a dog or a monkey. The scientists decided to test the idea that
neurons want to correctly predict what’s going on around them. The reward would be giving
DishBrain something predictable.
So DishBrain got a nice pattern of electrical activity every time it hit the ball with the paddle. But
when the ball flew off the screen, DishBrain got noisy electrical signals with no pattern.

It may be surprising, but DishBrain learned how to play Pong in about five minutes. With more
time, it was able to keep the ball on screen for longer and longer. Though DishBrain never got
really good at Pong, it played pretty well for some neurons in a dish.
In all, DishBrain had about 800,000 nerve cells. That may sound like a lot, but it’s fewer neurons
than a cockroach has. The results suggest that even small groups of neurons have impressive
power to organize and learn quickly – even in unusual conditions.
The Cortical Labs team thinks the experiment has a lot to teach scientists. Right now, there’s a
lot of effort going into Artificial Intelligence (AI). Many AI programs are based on the way
scientists believe brains work, which may not be accurate.
“In truth we don’t really understand how the brain works,” says Dr. Brett Kagan, who led the

“Dr. Janeth Woodcok Talks with TIME for Kids”
On October 29, the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) authorized emergency
use of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine for children 5 to 11 years old. Kids across the U.S. are
already getting their first dose.
I spoke with Dr. Janet Woodcock, the acting commissioner of the FDA. She’s responsible for
making sure everything at the FDA runs smoothly as the agency tests the safety and
effectiveness of vaccines.
I learned about the COVID-19 vaccine trials for kids and how the FDA studied vaccine safety. We
talked about how getting kids vaccinated against COVID-19 could help end the pandemic. And I
got to thank Dr. Woodcock for studying and authorizing the COVID-19 vaccine.
Read my questions and Dr. Woodcock’s answers below.
TFK Kid Reporter Via Ryerson:
What are your responsibilities as the acting FDA commissioner?
Dr. Janet Woodcock:
I’m in charge of making sure that everything runs at the FDA correctly. The FDA is in charge of
all medical products—like drugs, testing vaccines, blood and biological products—as well as food
and cosmetics, feed for animals, and animal medications. So it’s a lot of different activities and
different commodities. We make sure they’re safe and that they work.
Via:
So the big news this week is that the FDA authorized emergency use of the Pfizer COVID-19
vaccine for kids 5 to 11. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) then said that
shots can begin as early as this week. I’ve waited for months to get vaccinated so this is big
news to me and other 5- to 11-year-old kids and their parents. What does it mean that the FDA
authorized “emergency use”?
Dr. Woodcock:
“Emergency use” is a special [authority] we have, that Congress provided, for when you have a
public health emergency like we do with the pandemic. It’s to get things out quickly, but with
the same level of scrutiny, of carefulness, that we would [use] for a regular approval. We looked
at the data on the pediatric vaccine. We looked at safety. We looked at the effectiveness. We

had an advisory committee meeting and got expert input. And those advisers voted very, very
positively that kids this age should get the vaccine.
Via:
What research was needed to figure out if this COVID-19 vaccine was safe for kids?
Dr. Woodcock:
First of all, there was a large number of adults who were given the vaccine or a placebo [a shot
with no active medicine in it], to see whether or not it protected against the virus and what side
effects occurred. And it was found that it did protect very well against the virus. And that was
later moved down to teenagers. But in kids, we needed a lower dose. And so a lower dose was
devised. Then that was tested in thousands of kids, compared to a placebo. And it was shown
what the side effects were, and that it was over 90% effective in preventing kids 5 to 11 from
getting COVID-symptomatic disease.
Via:
The vaccine had to be approved by both the FDA and the CDC. Does the FDA have different
priorities for studying the COVID-19 vaccine than the CDC [does]?
Dr. Woodcock:
Well, the FDA and the CDC have different roles. The FDA works with the people who make the
vaccine and who develop it and test it. We set the rules for how these experimental products
are studied until they’re authorized or approved. And that’s true for medicines, as well. Now, the
CDC works on what are called “immunization practices.” And so they're looking at the population
as a whole and all the vaccines kids are getting. As you know, kids get a fair number of vaccines
to protect them against a wide range of childhood illnesses. And so the CDC works on that.
In this special circumstance where we’re doing this emergency-use authorization, the FDA has a
role. We have to authorize. That makes the vaccine available. And then the CDC has to
recommend the use. That makes the government able to distribute the vaccine to people.
Via:
Why did the FDA work on approving adult vaccines before approving children's vaccines?
Dr. Woodcock:
That’s a common way to develop vaccines for diseases that affect adults as well as kids. And in
this case, adults are the worst-affected by COVID-19. The older you are, the more at risk you
are. People in nursing homes and older adults were at the highest risk of hospitalization and
even death from the disease. So it made sense to test these vaccines first in the adult
population.
But also, remember: Vaccines, unlike many treatments and medicines, are given to healthy
people to prevent something. And so for vaccines, it's really important to do no harm, to make
sure that these are very safe. Before we go down into the younger age groups, we want to test
them in adults and make sure they're safe.

Via:
What side effects should kids expect after getting the first and second doses of the vaccine?
Dr. Woodcock:
The most common side effect you might have is a sore arm right after your shot. Some kids
might feel like they have a mild flu. For a day after, they might feel tired, have a little fever and
chills, perhaps a headache. Symptoms like that. But usually, these are gone within a day or so.
Via:
What’s the biggest challenge of working on approving the vaccines for kids?
Dr. Woodcock:
It’s challenging to get kid volunteers and do studies in children. Like most people, children don't
want to be stuck with needles and have their blood drawn and so forth. But we got trial
volunteers, and those kinds of tests were done.
One of the challenges, I think, is that some people are very concerned or hesitant about
vaccines and are reluctant to take them. And that's even more common as it comes to children
compared to adults. And so you have to really assure yourself of the safety of these, and that
you are evaluating them very carefully to make sure you understand what the side effects might
be.
Via:
Will getting kids vaccinated against COVID-19 help end the pandemic?
Dr. Woodcock:
Likely that is so. We don't yet know enough about this disease, this virus, to say what we need
to do [to end the pandemic]. But we know one thing is to have a large [part] of the population
no longer getting sick and going around and spreading the disease. We don’t know yet how
much vaccination prevents transmission. People might still acquire the virus and be able to
spread it to other people. But we do believe a high level of vaccination will help in this
pandemic, and that people should be protected down to young ages.
Via:
Where can kids and families get information about the vaccine?
Dr. Woodcock:
The CDC provides, on their web page, a lot of information for people who want to know about
the vaccines. That's a good starting source because it's very reliable. And the FDA also has
information that you can look at.
Via:
How will the FDA make sure everyone can get the vaccine?

Dr. Woodcock:
It will be available in pediatricians’ offices and at primary care, for those who have a pediatrician
or primary care doctors. But unfortunately, there are a lot of kids who don't have that kind of
care. So there will be different clinics and also pharmacies that will be offering vaccination. And
there will be other attempts to try to make sure that any kid whose parent or guardian wants to
get them vaccinated has an opportunity to [do so].
Via:
Thank you so much for your hard work keeping kids safe during the pandemic, and thank you
for studying the vaccine.
Dr. Woodcock:
Most welcome. It's my pleasure to talk to you.

and weighs as much as three mice.
An entomologist Mark Moffett, 55, discovered the cricket-like creature up a tree on
New Zealand’s Little Barrier Island. He spent two days searching for the creepy
crawly which were thought to be extinct after Europeans brought rats to the island
many years ago.
“This became all the more amazing when we realised that this was the largest

A Volcano Erupts

A volcano on Iceland’s Reykjanes Peninsula erupted on the morning of January 14.

It sent molten lava into Grindavík, a fishing town. Several houses caught fire. No
deaths were reported. Many people were forced from their homes. While they’re
staying with friends or family, they’re waiting for a long-term solution from the
Icelandic government.
The lava has caused major damage. It broke hot water pipes. These supplied the
town from the nearby power station. So homes have no heat. At this time,
temperatures are freezing, and the houses are too cold to live in.
The eruption is Iceland’s fifth in three years. Emergency workers have been
building defensive walls around the town. But these were not yet complete.
Iceland’s prime minister, Katrín Jakobsdóttir, says the barriers were “serving their
purpose” by redirecting the flow of lava. But lava from a second crack in the
ground made its way around them.
LAVA RIVER Lava flows near the town of Reykjanes, damaging buildings and
infrastructure.

Quiet Creatures? Nope.

A new research project finds that 53 species of animals thought to be silent actually make
sounds. Dogs bark, frogs croak, and birds chirp. Some animals are known for their sounds.
Others seem to be silent. Think about it: Have you ever heard a peep from your pet turtle? But
a study published last October in Nature Communications suggests something new about some
of these so-called quiet creatures.
Researchers recorded 53 species thought to be silent. The results? “Every single species we
recorded made sounds,” Gabriel Jorgewich-Cohen, a coauthor of the paper, told TIME for Kids.
The study suggests that these animals, which use vocalizations to communicate, might share an
ancient link.
Sound On
“Some animals, they’re really highly vocal, like frogs and birds,” Jorgewich-Cohen says. “By
comparison, we tend to consider other animals to be nonvocal, and then we don’t give them as
much attention.” Many turtles are considered silent. But Jorgewich-Cohen heard vocalizations
from them while doing a different study in the Amazon. (See “Listen In.”)
Maybe the widespread scientific view was wrong, Jorgewich-Cohen thought. The only way to
find out was to really listen. “I tried first with my own pets,” he says. One was a turtle named
Homer. “I found sounds there. So I decided to keep going and record as many turtles as I
could.”
Ultimately, the study included 50 turtle species, a reptile species called the tuatara, the South
American lungfish, and the Cayenne caecilian, an amphibian that looks like a worm.
