I don’t know whose idea it was (it was mine 🙄) to carry two of these artillery grade suitcases full of heavy outreach equipment across God’s green earth, but whoever they are, they trippin!
Side note: I just learned you can check a max of 20 items with Southwest (costs $2,800) 😱

🔥 Real talk: This is how we track research trainees across 14 labs
Live Notion database → Real-time career updates → Instant resource matching
Result: Labs don't just meet NSF requirements, they exceed them because they can see their progress.

🧠 The Challenge: How do you know if a 5-minute science festival activity actually teaches anything? Most outreach relies on "smiles and thumbs up" as success metrics.
Our Solution: Pre-post assessment cards that capture learning in real-time.
