So proud of my honors bio 9th graders. We just genetically engineered E. coli using CRISPR-Cas9. This was my first time doing this lab, and they were able to follow a complex protocol to knock out the lacZ gene which makes the bacterial colonies appear white instead of blue. 🤩

@ClaireMBrisson Congratulations!

I just opened my email to see this — “We are pleased to inform you that you have been awarded a Certificate of Teaching Excellence for the Spring 2022 semester by the Office of Undergraduate Education.” My heart is full.

This is fantastic!

@TheRogueCora @RainbowRailroad is a great organization

So HYPOTHETICALLY, if I were to do a Pride Month 24hr charity stream, what orgs would you want me to donate to and what would you want to see? Most importantly: who would want to partner on it?

So proud of my esports graduates!

@NCSE This is great news! I often find that the people who reject evolution don’t understand it or weren’t exposed to it. Biology educators have done a great job at developing lessons and using real world phenomena to address these misconceptions.

The level of public acceptance of evolution in the United States is now solidly above the halfway mark. #SciComm #Evolution buff.ly/3z2a5CQ

@reezy_faiza Lebanese people call them kdaameh, hope that helps in some way!

Anyone know where I can find those Egyptian hummus seeds that are mad small and dried? Not garbanzo beans. What are they called?

Big day!!

Today Cora and Lorenzo welcomed @Zunix00 of @NWeSportsTeam to the IWU family! Coach @AliSayedScience and his program set her up to help her step into collegiate prepared! Roster spots are still available for next Fall, reach out today to see if IWU can be your collegiate home!

My young scientists learning how to use gel electrophoresis as a tool for detecting cancer-causing genetic mutations and determining patterns of inheritance. 🧬🥼

Until I became a science teacher, I never fully understood how much work and care my teachers put into setting up the cool labs and activities we did. Just spent some time making gels and pipetting DNA samples—I’m excited to do some biotech labs this week with my students!!

"If you don't want to teach, don't teach. Quit." - @JoeNBC - Teachers want to teach. - Teachers are getting sick. - There are not enough subs. - Teachers who aren't getting sick are now expected to cover for the teachers who are. - Then those teachers get sick or leave.

Just another reminder that it's never too late to learn! npr.org/2021/11/07/105…

@NilesWestDebate Congratulations Omar and Yohanna! So excited to see my fantastic students doing well in debate.

Happy Halloween!! 👻
