Need some gig work? $40-$150/hr. They are hiring Ph.D.s in many fields as well as generalists in any field. If you are generalist, see "talent pool." The AI interview is strange but low pressure. Use this link: work.mercor.com/explore?refe.... Yes. I am real person. Look me up.

Galactic Polymath just released a new unit on how frog calls represent biological tradeoffs and performance thresholds. www.galacticpolymath.com/lessons/en-U...
Mini-Unit: Balancing Act
Students will follow in the soggy footsteps of scientists wading through ponds at night to record frogs as they learn about biological tradeoffs that connect humans to horses to frogs. Along the way, ...

We're working on a data literacy unit & looking for a good hook. What's your go-to example for the most egregious data visualization you've seen...esp. something relevant to consumers, public health, climate or broad lived experience? #STEMed #SciComm #DataViz #DataLiteracy #SciEd #Rstats

How do we teach students to ask good questions? A fundamental, but challenging part of science and critical thinking. Watch ethnobotanist Rose Bear Don't Walk show us how it's done with 21 extemporaneous questions!! 🤩

That vid is from our SciJourneys unit for grades 6+. From a 9th grader in Nashville:

"I loved practicing how to ask & respond to Qs...This lesson gave me a much better understanding of how science works"

Hey Hive Mind, science is under assault. #scicomm and #SciEd need to unite. We need a hashtag that specifically represents scientists collaborating with K-12 teachers. Can you help brainstorm . . .
