Teaching Total Eclipse by Annie Dillard and A Brief Atmospheric Future by Matthew Gavin Frank in my Advanced Writing classes tomorrow. The prospect of covering beautiful and difficult work with my students is an arrow moving forward.

By age 24, I patented a cancer device, interned at top medical centers, was accepted to a university known for Nobel Laureates.

Yet, being Navajo, I felt the disconnect of being a scientist vs an object of study.

I am not a product of DEI. I persevered despite science ictnews.org/news/databac...

Excited to launch Thinking With Moss, an NEH-funded project that I've been working on for the past few years with @tega.bsky.social + @aansari86.bsky.social. Bringing in collabs from around the world in a series of workshops, we asked what it might mean to think with moss /

Homepage - openRxiv
openRxiv is an independent non-profit, the new organizational home for bioRxiv and medRxiv, enabling researchers to instantly share groundbreaking findings with the global scientific community.

Recently unsealed court documents reveal that “Meta used a database of pirated books to train its AI systems.”
It sure looks like Meta stole a lot of books to build its AI.
It’s a grim week for Meta. The company formerly known as Facebook, and before that Facemash, “designed to evaluate the attractiveness of female Harvard students,” now encompasses Facebo…

This is so cool! I love seeing RPGs used for teaching. I had one teacher that ran his whole class like an RPG. You had a character sheet, equipment, abilities, and went on quests (assignments) of your choice.

Your grade was ultimately based on your final XP earned.
RPG fun in my writing class today. It’s written as a solo exploration game, but I put people into groups for journaling and sketching the plants we discovered! Get Exclusion Zone Botanist here, if you’d like to play it yourself: exeuntpress.itch.io/exclusion-zo...

I assign the first 3 chapters of Ways of Seeing when we talk about the way we look at art is the product of history for my advanced writing class. Students always remark on how relevant Berger is in an age of visuality.
Everyone should watch Ways of Seeing and be John Berger-pilled www.youtube.com/watch?v=0pDE...
