Galactic Polymath just released a new unit on how frog calls represent biological tradeoffs and performance thresholds. www.galacticpolymath.com/lessons/en-U...

🧵There are 45 days until Inauguration Day, and I’m working on updating the Capitol Riot Map—an interactive visualization of the more than 1,500 individuals arrested or charged in connection to January 6th. Follow this thread for updates, and explore the interactive visualization: capitolriotmap.com

Does anyone know Malcolm Tunnell who created this map? www.reddit.com/r/dataisbeau... I want to attribute it but I cannot find any other posting or the author.

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!! 🤩 #STEMed #NativesInSTEM #WomenInSTEM #science youtu.be/zvpY3RqmAno?...

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 . . . #scicollab #sci2class #STEM2class #STEM2K12 #trustscience #scimatters thoughts?

🧪 What is a good hashtag to represent bridging the gap between scientists and HS teachers? #scicom

I just made a new group for science teachers to share resources, please join. !sciteachershare

Any other US Science Teacher out there? We need a list to share resources.
