🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

Happy FAVIA Day! On this day in 1793, 231 years ago, the first air voyage in America launched from the Walnut Street, Philadelphia prison yard. Jean Pierre Blanchard took off at about 10 am and flew about an hour, landing 15 miles away in Deptford, NJ.

This would be fun to see how the hot air balloon community is networking.
So the Bluesky #Gephi plugin is released ! You can fetch it directly from the plugin manager inside the software. It allows you to explore the followers / followings relationships of the network. Here is a Fast Tutorial www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUq5... #graph #sna #atproto

Writing a dissertation once upon a time seemed impossible to me. This photo is meant to inspire those who are in grad school and questioning if you can do it.
I didn’t think I could, yet, this is HOW I’m doing it.

Introductory post: I’m currently writing my dissertation in mathematics education and a hot air balloon pilot. That means some days, my dress pants end up covered in dirt. I couldn’t be happier with this life.

Here’s a link to an explainer video I made a year ago about VFR class e airspace rules for LTA with a burner. If you’ve wanted to know what rules we follow in a hot air balloon!

Bluesky academics, lets get to know each other! Quote this & tell me: 1) a project you are working on & 2) an odd idea/theory you aren’t working on but keep thinking about
1. Use of assistive tech in reading instruction for students with IDD
2. How do teacher/para dynamics affect teaching quality?

This morning I flew our #hotairballoon. Feeling pretty lucky to get the chance to fly with a ballooning legend. This afternoon I work on resubmitting my IRB request. One is much more satisfying than the other. This is what balance looks like for me. #chicksfly
