High school biology and ecology teacher. Loves cats and sharks and reading. Might lurk a bit, but I’m moving over here to avoid the bird site because… obvious reasons.
This is the exact metaphor I’ve been thinking of for the last couple of weeks. @democrats.senate.gov @kaine.senate.gov DON’T CAVE!!!!

My ask of any science enthusiasts who tell the story of Rosalind Franklin:
Don't make her life be about the DNA debacle. She died far too young, but she was a promising scientist in her own right, a mentor and scientific author.
Not for Watson or Crick, but for her legacy.

Her sister wrote my favorite essay about her. She points out that RF would have been famous even if she'd never looked at DNA

Remembering my sister Rosalind Franklin
Rosalind Franklin died of ovarian cancer in 1958 aged 37 years. Sympathy and feminism
have combined to give us her familiar image as a downtrodden woman scientist, brilliant

Here’s a joke a former student told me today:
So if i find a rock hard biscut or sharpen the edge of a stale piece of bread, and attack someone with it, would it be classifíed as “assult with a breadly weapon“?

Ok #CatSky, let me tell you why this is the greatest photo I’ll ever take. I love cats, and sharks. We brought three of our cats (littermates) inside, and I named them: two tiger striped sisters, and a black and white brother. They’re named after the three main characters in Jaws - this is Quint.

Ok high school biology teachers, looking for some ideas. We’re getting ready to start our (relatively short) unit on photosynthesis and respiration - does anyone have any great activities that really help students get it? Especially looking for help for ESOL students. Thank you! #iteachbiology

PhD people: high school teacher here. Student is navigating her college acceptances. Long range plans are: after undergrad, go for PhD. She has a full ride to a non Ivy League school, but is waiting to hear about acceptances to Ivy League for undergrad. Thoughts on Ivy vs non-Ivy for undergrad?

@joshhayes.bsky.social just read through the thread you shared from Gail about rainy Wednesdays on the bird site, saw you were on here, so I’m following you here as well. Kudos - we all need more Municipal Code W742-302C in our lives. ❤️

Hello! I’m a high school science teacher in Northern Virginia in my 16th year of teaching! I’m interested in following and connecting with SciSky. I love cats and sharks (but not together), and I’m very glad that we’re finally starting to move into fall weather. #HiSciSky
