@camcoffie But what does race have to do with physics teaching and learning? 🙄😡 Thinking of you and your students as you return to classes 💚

@z_landsman I've been using petite KN95s from will Well Before, on a trusted recommendation (Masa)

Want to teach physics to about a zillion students and hang out with me? UCF Physics is hiring a Lecturer! Please share with folks who may be interested, and they are welcome to reach out to me with questions about UCF. jobs.ucf.edu/en-us/job/5016…

I am so excited to announce that we have a post doc position available on our new NSF grant, Supporting Playful Learning in Elementary Mathematics Classrooms, with @amynoelleparks and Anita Wager. Details can be found at the link below! vanderbilt.edu/postdoc/positi…

You might be a physics teacher if... there is a random box of PVC pipes in the classroom, and they become an integral part of in-class activities one the first AND second day of class. (in-person teaching in a pandemic still sucks and shouldn't be mandatory)

@Julia_Frances Our Florida dog is rocking a crocheted-by- Grandmom sweater

@adamlamee @UCFPhysics Why, thank you :)

Congratulations to UCF PER's most recent doctor, Dr. Constance Doty!

Let's Celebrate International Education Week. What is your favorite international recipes? Here are a few delicious foods that you can make....

@Julia_Frances Sorry!

Your kid might go to school in Florida if a company is presenting baby gators to their kindergarten class and there's a baby gator shower in a few weeks...

When you notice after you sent the email to administrators that you never decided between "touching base" or "checking in" and ended up with "touching in" 😬

@Julia_Frances @GeoEdResearch Thanks, Julia! I'm fighting, @GeoEdResearch! We finally (well, on Monday) have a mask mandate in the kid's school for 60 days.

Faculty who think recording lectures is an added burden-- I just got to tell a student who late added my course to watch the recorded lecture! That felt awesome!

First in-person class since March 2020, peppered with phone calls re: COVID at my kid's school and the utility co. re: COVID related water supply issues, followed by a bat in the building and a leak in @ProfMChini's lab. But, the day ended with a stronger mask mandate @OCPSnews

Our first time writing for this format/audience. Please check it out! :)

@Julia_Frances Omg, Julia, I had no idea! Can you send me some more details (publicly or privately) about which orientation this was? Our group in particular tries to set healthier goals and build strategies for healthily reaching our goals... There are rough patches, but they are not the goal

I will become an Assistant Professor at @UCFPhysics starting August. Students and/or postdocs interested in working with me on planetary atmospheres and habitability, contact me! @CSInst @ELSI_origins @UCFPlanetary habitableplanets.wordpress.com

Congrats also to @quarkchocho @NickYoungPER and @physicistdanny for their awards!

Congratulations to @MasterZamz for being selected for his THIRD PERC Notable Paper in a row for his work with Amy Schwandes on "Attending to Emotion in a Metaphor for Success in Physics with Poetic Analysis"
