First video of my Youtube channel: How do automatic sinks work‽ youtu.be/91oBOMORhaM RT, and let me know what you think!

@DDaCrema1 Could be worth checking local community colleges if they need instructors. Wouldn't fully start until the school year, but still may be a lead. Best of luck

A @bakergrpIU virtual happy hour made for a really nice Friday afternoon, its so rare to actually talk to current and past lab members all at the same time!

Just finished my first @SkypeScientist session and it was a blast! Getting to talk one on one with a curious 4th grader made me remember just how wild and strange the world of academic chemistry is.

I personally owe a lot to Dennis Peters, without his mentorship I likely wouldn't have gone on to graduate school for chemistry. For future students, I can only hope to be half the educator that Dennis Peters was for me.

@thephysicsgirl We use pulsed lasers in our lab to make cavitation bubbles to explode cancer cells!

Has anyone seen cavitation with anything besides the mantis shrimp punch, or the bottle-breaking trick?

Super cool work looking back at previous climate models and showing just how effective they have been!

@NPRMichel Your piece about Cokie and being an ally today was spectacular. Saying that people can be advocates even when they don't necessarily come from the same background was really touching!

Cokie, thank you for everything you taught me . I miss you already —mm

@corvidresearch Good luck! I've got some resources from a course I took on course design I would be more than happy to share! They center around the idea of backwards course design that was hugely helpful for me

So please feel free to wish me luck as I embark on the new challenge of full time teaching. And give me any tips for creating a well run course!

Hi everyone! Since I just finished my PostDoc studying jays, I suspect some of you are wondering what comes next. I’m happy to say I have a teaching job at the University of Washington for the next 2 quarters! I’ll be teaching birds, wildlife ecology, & conservation 😊

@Ehmee @FieldMuseum Loved this episode and all the dives into the collection. Excited to see more!

@toviasmithnpr Totally agree that lowering the stakes in some way really helps! Assessing students effectively sometimes feels like classroom economics and providing the right incentives isn't easy to do

@WDYTdavid yes-some say wake-up call to rethink how we measure learning. as for papers: they suggest evrything from assign NONE outside class, to assign MORE so 1-the stakes (&temptation to cheat) are lower 2-students actually learn to write, & 3-cheat detection software has better baseline

#College essays for sale: schools are increasingly worried about a global industry of #EssayMills that market aggressively to #students. "Technically, I don't think it's #cheating," says one student/customer. "It's kind of like a gray area." n.pr/2G3tDvk

@NPR @shuranphoto Amazing job with this story! Thought the perspective was really interesting!

When you walk into Collin's Barber & Beauty Shop, it feels like home. Over the decades, the Syracuse, N.Y. barbershop has welcomed four generations of the Collins family, countless community members and, most recently, photojournalist Shuran Huang. n.pr/2FeXOAF
