From @MCDuncanLab

Here I propose that rather than possessing “good hands,” an innate and unlearnable aptitude for science, such scientists possess expert learning skills that can be effectively mastered. I share a straightforward approach to gaining and teaching expert learning skills in the research lab environment. I also discuss ongoing efforts by others to develop curricula that teach expert learning skills in laboratory courses.

Ya'll, I made a planetarium movie!!
It's about mapping the universe with DESI and includes a flight through the real positions of 14 million galaxies. For anyone without access to a planetarium, here's a flat version:

So much has been written about including Bayesian ideas in introductory statistics teaching that it is easy to forget just how poor the uptake has been, even in programmes aimed at statistics majors. "Based on our reading of the course catalogs, none of the 10 largest undergraduate statistics programs require a Bayesian course to earn a B.S. degree. Some of them don’t even have an undergraduate Bayesian class listed in their course catalog." https://tinyurl.com/5ehbau36 #statistics #ScienceEd

I am modifying this curriculum to fit with my storyline about local fossils from the Fairmead fossil site.

The students love it and fossils are such a great way to blend geoscience and biology!

Do cuttlefish dream of electric shrimp?

“When cuttlefish sleep, they nestle into the gravel and close their eyes. Sometimes their eyes and arms start twitching—like humans do during deep sleep. Sometimes they change color while they sleep. It looks like they could be dreaming!”

How does sleeping charge us up?

@flaviusb I reformatted my physics lab course to limit all reports to one page exactly because scaling up with class size doesn't work, so something else had to scale down. I also decided that my feedback would be three strategic pointers on rhetoric; nothing on the physics. All that improved the physics learning immensely: effective rhetoric needs content, and this meant that the students thought much more carefully about their physics.

Tuesday night is #Antarctica night! I'm writing a plain language summary for educators about #SWAIS2C Sensitivity of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet to 2 Celsius (of warming).

We'll drill through 2 sites on the Ross Ice Shelf and into the sediment below. Analyzing this sediment will help us learn more about past melting of the WAIS (West Antarctic Ice Sheet) when Earth was warmer and global sea levels were higher.

SO happy that my #Antarctica E&O work is ramping up again for real. Can’t believe I’m paid to share my passion for the most beautiful place on Earth!

I took these pics in McMurdo Sound just before we entered a force 10 gale with low visibility and icebergs all around. Wheeee!

Good morning!
In addition to looking for #ScienceEd & #EdLeadership conversations I’m also looking to connect with the #TESOL community. I teach #ShelteredInstruction at the local university & am passionate about integrating asset based teaching into science.

@dougholton @mguhlin @edutooters

Thanks for this. I’m just getting started and looking for mi #Education & #ScienceEd gente

REMA (Reference Elevation Model of Antarctica) map is finally on my office wall—a little personal celebration because my SWAIS 2C* role is beginning in earnest at last! (Our sites marked in pink.)

So looking forward to bringing our vital Antarctic science to the world! Stay tuned. ❄️
