Hey guys,
Megan can’t make it, but I can drive up in the morning. I would like kids to carpool with their parents, but we’ll see what happens. I’m going to announce this to all classes on Wednesday, so Meg and I should be able to tell you how many are interested at the end of this week.

6 years, 8 months ago6 years, 8 months agoI am curious if anyone in the K12 Teachers group attended the GABI-RET summit meeting in New Mexico — @skillingsworth, @mhendrickson do you all have pictures from your trip that you could share? I’m sure it was an amazing experience, with incredible scenery!

Hi! @egardner I do have some pictures of the geology of the area. @skillingsworth probably has some pictures of the fossils they found.

7 years, 6 months ago7 years, 6 months agoIt sounds like an intersection between having a strong mentor, and discussing the disparity of women in STEM fields, is a pretty solid approach!
I’m surprised, too, that figurehead examples of women in STEM / mentors in STEM don’t pack more (statistical) punch. I guess calling attention to the challenges women face in STEM is all the more…[Read more]
