Hovenweep is also VERY cool. I highly recommend the 2 mile hike around Little Ruin Canyon if you ever find yourself in this area. Truly awe-inspiring and thought-provoking.

Saw this lovely bird of prey at Hovenweep National Monument today. I couldn't get a clearer picture but I think he's maybe a peregrine??

Any early math folks or family math engagement folks interested? (please help me, I don't want to run thousands of kids through this without some heavy hitters backing me up)

Hi! I'm a gay trans man finishing a PhD educational neuroscience soon - I study numerical cognition and mathematics education in multicultural and multilingual settings! My dissertation is on the development of a vertical SNARC effect in Mayan numerals. #transinSTEM

I've been doing a lot of neuroscience outreach recently. here's the back of my head and a crowd of grossed out high schoolers - I'm holding a whole human brain (with eyes and spinal cord!) and talking about how rad the brain is at the Northern Utah STEM Expo last week.
