Adopted Hank (8M) a few days ago. He is really taking a shine to Mak 💜
Landon is... not convinced yet 😅

The 3rd Legend of Zelda Game (and the 4-6th).

I was able to get one of the former students involved in the writing process (yay Jalynn!), and she's listed as an author with some pretty incredible scientists (and one remora as last author 😅)

It would have been great to be able to have our high school class more involved in the peer review side of the scientific process, but I am incredibly grateful all the work our kids did that year is able to be shared.

Fast forward to this winter, and I get an email about a rough draft of our research. Shout out to Chris Frazier, and the rest of the team, for making it possible to see this through to the end!

Under the direction of Dr. Ted Harris, we were studying whether nutrient run off with glyphosate (basically, Round-Up) made harmful algal blooms any more likely in small tanks.

In September and October 2019, my AP Biology students were the primary research technicians for an experiment with a small team from KU, and scientists in Switzerland and Germany.

There's something about a lab day requiring gloves and micropipettes to make you feel like you scienced the heck out of the biology that day. 👩‍🔬👨‍🔬🧑‍🔬

Our F1 did a really good job competing in county spelling bee. Proud of how she prepared, handled the pressure of standing in front of an auditorium full of strangers, and supported her comrades on the stage. Ended up as runner-up in the Bee but #1 in my heart (por supuesto ☺️).
