When I was a first year high school teacher one thing a mentor teacher taught me was, in those first weeks, try to take each kid aside & have a personal conversation with them. Make it clear you’re invested in them personally. It was the best piece of teaching advice I ever got.
It's that time of year for #nsfgrfp applications! As someone who has mentored several NSF applicants and has served on an NSF GRFP panel, I thought I would provide an insider view to students who are applying in this cycle. I hope this helps shed some light on the process. (1/10)
#FlashbackFriday to teaching our @IseeUcsc PDP activity with the awesome @TAURUSutaustin, Astronomy REU, and UT undergrads! We spent the day learning all about galaxy spectra/morphologies!
Next week, we kick off #AstroTech with a week long workshop at UC Berkeley to develope a 2020 summer school in instrumentation for undergrad and early grad students. @IseeUcsc @UCB_Astronomy
Teaching at@PU_Astro a hacked up version of a lesson that was created in collab with @erikakcarlson and @johannateske and @GwenCRudie as part of @IseeUcsc PDP in 2016 and that taught our fantastic @CarnegieAstro interns.
Check out these photos from yesterday's Model Research Activity designed by PhD students through @IseeUcsc and held at @FlatironCCA! Summer research undergrads from CCA, #AstroComNYC & @AMNH learned about galaxy spectroscopy and held a poster session to present what they learned.
Cheers to this whole cohort of #PDP2019, for coming together for a great Santa Cruz Design Institute! — at UC Santa Cruz facebook.com/17767511193074…

NORMALIZE CHANGING YOUR OPINION ON SOMETHING AFTER LEARNING NEW INFORMATION. ITS OKAY. I PROMISE.
I hereby present my glorious artifact from 1989. Its storage capacity is 110KB. 💾 This video of my artifact is 23MB, or ~200 times larger than its capacity 🤯😱
I ran my first 100 mile ultramarathon this weekend! Grad school was tougher for sure, but at least I got to sit down during that
For those following along at home: Tonight I faced off in spin class with Mr. She’s-Got-a-Hot-Bike. I rode a different bike from my usual one. And I still readily beat him in total miles and W/kg. 🔥
I'm organizing a career panel for summer 2020 undergrad interns of folks w/B.S. or B.A.'s in physics/astro who did ~not~ go to grad school. If you'd be willing to participate, please let me know. Bonus points if you're in SoCal, but remote participation is def an option. Thanks!
Ya girl got accepted to the @IseeUcsc PDP program today!! This was a big deal to me as my campus is not an official member so the likelihood of my acceptance (+financial support**) was v low. But here I am!!! SUPER stoked to keep growing as an educator, mentor, & collaborator.
@JunellieG @IseeUcsc @astronomack @UCB_Astronomy @keckobservatory @NSF_MPS @jlu_astro @CapnNico @SACNAS AWESOME! I'm definitely applying!
Attn undergrads and early grad students interested in astronomical instrumentation!! AstroTech 2020 summer school application is open! July 20-24 at Berkeley. isee-telescope-workforce.org/2020-astrotech/
I got to run 9 nights of observing on the du Pont telescope at Las Campanas in August and it was so fun I wrote a thing about it for the Las Campanas Belles blog! #lifeatlco lascampanasbelles.blogspot.com/2019/10/my-fir…
“I’m going to backward-design the heck out of my talk.” I’m not sure that totally makes sense but it’s what came into my brain this afternoon. Thanks @IseeUcsc ;)
Dear Educators, Do not write off parents, particularly those of color, who do not attend Open House. Many are managing multiple jobs, young children, and other obligations. Be graceful and endeavor to build bridges, not walls. Lack of physical presence does not mean indifference.
When I was a first year high school teacher one thing a mentor teacher taught me was, in those first weeks, try to take each kid aside & have a personal conversation with them. Make it clear you’re invested in them personally. It was the best piece of teaching advice I ever got.
Ladies who visit @LCOAstro, I am pleased to report that there are now “feminine products” available in the dorm rooms! Thanks to the staff for hearing our request and acting to make observing a little less stressful. :)
Today I ran 10 miles before work, finished all the tasks I wanted to including responding to Referee Report of Doom Part 2, & had some nice conversations w/colleagues. That's a good day, right? Now I will go watch the Nats game from yesterday when they won w/7 runs in the 9th!
I’ve lived in Mississippi now for about a month. Here’s what you don’t see on the news: it’s an absolutely gorgeous state, filled with lots of people who are trying to create a better world for all. When you step onto my campus you feel the air of possibility and promise.
Neoliberal capitalism has destroyed higher ed to the point where we're telling students to literally bleed themselves dry for course materials.
@saragoldrickrab These are in every college town.
I just had such an affirming experience. On my 8hr intl flight back from a conference, I sat next to a father/son. In broken English, the father began to apologize/warn me that his ~10 yr-old son had severe nonverbal autism, and that this would like be a difficult journey. 1/
