From last week: Half of the fish in the Mission-Aransas Estuary vocalize. One scientist is dedicated to recording and decoding their thumps, pops, and other sounds. Listen with him ... https://www.texasobserver.org/philip-souza-fish-sound-recordings?utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=audience

How can we equip the next generation of physicists with the problem-solving skills that they will need to thrive? Join Nobel Laureate Carl Wieman for a seminar next Friday, October 27 with #SFUPhysics. https://ow.ly/yczV50PYOtM #physics #sfu #scied

I've been wondering if we can make a regular (neuro) sciency movie night series at the department and have come to the sad conclusion that I do not have a long enough list of films that I like :(

So, what are your favorite (neuro) sciency films/documentaries?

Huddle up.

We gotta get word out to teachers that Skype a Scientist is a FREE program that matches their classrooms with scientists.

During recruitment season we try to make sure we hit every US State. We're in 40 so far!

Here's where we DON'T have classrooms yet this fall:
AL
AR
ME
MT
NH
NM
ND
SD
UT
WY

Spread the word!

The large meteor that wiped out the dinosaurs and messed with the whole earth for awhile actually hit essentially in the middle of both northern and southern hemispheres, right? Have we modeled what it would’ve been like if it only hit in one hemisphere? Would we be walking around with T Rex today? #scied #science

I just gave a talk about astronomy & outreach to a week-long summer school for high school students, and the coordinator has the *best* way to handle Q&A:
After your talk, you leave the room for 20-25 minutes. The students split into small groups and brainstorm all their questions, then they rank their questions and write them on big poster stickies. Then, you come back in the room, and each group takes turns asking you their questions. #summerSchool #iTeachPhysics #sciEd #STEMEd #astrodon

#Science #education resources at no charge to you.

SERC is the Science Education Resource Center office at Carleton College. Here's just one example of what is available on their site.

It's day 2 of the United States of Science!

Let's take a look at some states we can close out this morning. Remaining bubbles:
NV or OR: 3
AZ: 4
KS: 6
WA: 8

Those big states need help too

The idea of the Wood Wide Web - that trees communicate with each other via a network of symbiotic fungi in their roots - has become increasingly popular over the last few years. But turns out it might be entirely false.

A fascinating read by some of the very people who helped spread that idea in the first place. Now this is science.

Hi everyone: We just published a NEW STEM TEACHING TOOL that shows how to promote the U.N. Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through community-centered approaches to #SciEd and #NGSS.

The resource links to supporting frameworks and includes tons of practical guidance for supporting ecological, human & economic health. The #SDGs are centered on social and multispecies justice. You can promote global equity by teaching in support of these #GlobalGoals.

New STEM Teaching Tool (PLS BOOST)

Over the past 9 years, we have published a collection of professional learning resources to help educators teach science & STEM in equitable ways (#NSFfunded). Check out & share our latest one…

Do you want to get your students outdoors and help them connect with and better understand nature in #SciEd? Check out this fabulous new STEM Teaching Tools on approaches and tools to the study of local phenomena through NATURE JOURNALING.
