Biomimicry and the wisdom of nature with @JanineBenyus on @onbeing

“when you cut yourself literally — you know murmuration of starlings & flocking…some of your immune cells flock & they come to the site of the cut like a flock of birds. & they get on either side of the cut & they pull the skin together…as the fibroids are being formed.”

One more outing to close out the school year: four days in the rainforest guiding a May Term group along the Hoh River Trail.

@Cerenz Just had a minute to think about it while my girls are quietly coloring.

@romano47 A great clarifying question. A new thread of inquiry for me to throw off his scent and bide time so I can continue tackling the laundry.

If you: -Can cook 17 different meals a day -Solve complex tech issues -Embrace an infinite laundry pile -Are trained in Mixed Martial Arts -Enjoy grappling with questions like “How many salmon would you need to take down a bear?” Then: Parenting boys might just be for you!

This past week, three days guiding a group along the Ozette Triangle. Sunsets, tide pools, and a bear: an altogether lovely way to close out the year at CWA.

“‘So that’s the question, I guess, for you and for me and for all of us trying to do this sacred task of telling stories for the young: How do we tell the truth and make that truth bearable?’” @KateDiCamillo in a letter to @mattdelapena, read on @onbeing onbeing.org/programs/kate-…

@Cerenz Well, it’s going to be one of those seasons… Tadej animates it all.

Pogačar calls his shot at the start, throws an attack from 80km, and has put 3:30 into the chase with 40 km to go. That’s, ummm…that’s not human.

Thinking about thinking tools… this culture map, tho swap in “trust” or “mission.” So many riffs & derivatives on this one, all with the intent of flattening who and how we diagnose, idealize, & iterate, all at the service of sharing and shaping together: gamestorming.com/wp-content/upl…

@Cerenz One just needs more bots to send ‘em to.

There are too many webinars.

@MikeVachow Slow roasted, flash frozen, and bundled for January sandwiches and salsas.

@Gplastrik Oh, I totally saw what you served up on the menu. Made my morning!

Restarted @readwise this summer, and I’m appreciating the daily email of highlights, quotes, and reminders of past works I’ve read. Today, a reminder from Annie Duke.

Peak summer in the garden. Just starting to see a harvest emerge.

@michaelpeller Love seeing this week and this work unfold. So many schools, whether upstarts or reboots, could use this model. Thanks for sharing the journey.

Day 4 of 10 of the ⁦@HillbrookSchool⁩ upper school “Launch Party”– the morning was an orientation to faculty offices at ⁦@WeWork, a presentation on UDL, and time to create academic classes. Afternoon: continuation of building our trans disciplinary Immersive classes.

I’m @jpcerenz over on 🧵 🧵 🧵, which I’m sure won’t get me rate limited at all.

We came up with seven different approaches to assigning students to use AI in classrooms, and developed sample prompts. They have tremendous potential, but also require understanding the risks involved. Paper: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf… Summary & overview: oneusefulthing.org/p/assigning-ai…
