I wrote a comprehensive guide for how gender allies can help trans people in these dark times. It’s organized by time commitment and level of experience with trans issues, so it should be accessible to anyone wanting to get involved.

If you're feeling pretty bored lately (who isn't?) and want some light (~400 pages) of reading on undergraduate STEM education, can I recommend this report from the National Academies?

Lots of things to think about here.

I really love free little websites with a single, useful tool - what are your favourites?

I use symbolsalad.com basically every week. It has a huge number of unicode symbols that you can copy, including Greek letters and absolutely loads of math symbols.

My semi-annual PSA that if you're taking undergrad Thermo and it's got a stat mech/molecular focus, you may find my free online videos/materials useful. #ChemSky #SciSky 🧪

In case anyone’s looking for a resource for discussing biases in student evaluations, I made a short slideshow that I use to talk with my students (including ref to the study discussed below). Feel free to use/share! docs.google.com/presentation...

Hi #ChemSky! @cenmag.bsky.social and I want to learn how the chemistry community might be affected by any immigration policies currently being proposed for 2025.

If you might be impacted and can give any insight, I'd really appreciate if you could fill out this form: forms.office.com/r/87NQhFKrFh

I’m having a great time at Augsburg! Couldn’t have asked for a better experience as a first-time instructor of record 👩🏻‍🏫
This Fall, Augsburg's Physics department has hired the amazing @kristineloh.bsky.social to teach our Science of Food and Cooking course. Kristine even contributed a brand new lab to our course on foams and vegan meringues. Thank you Kristine!

NEED SOME GOOD NEWS?

The EU now generates more electricity from wind and solar than from fossil fuels.

Just a quick note to those new here, if you think someone's post is worth other people reading, repost it. Liking it does not have the same effect here as on the dead-bird site. There is no algorithm. That's one of the reasons we like it.

I did some math in August & noticed that if we sell 5000 advent calendars, I can fund @skypeascientist.bsky.social 2025 without getting any grants. I wrote grants anyway, but I wanted some backup!

So far, 0 grants for 2025.
BUT!
We've sold 2,183 calendars!!

1/2 way funded!

Fellow teachers, let's have a chat.

This week, I write about the REAL reason students are stressed, and how I've used my chemical engineering classroom to teach about systemic injustice.

I've never been in the clinic room while waiting for COVID/Strep/Flu results and I kind of prefer the distance in getting virtual results instead of watching a timer count down in front of me

Hey, fellow teachers! Here's a grand list of how I plan to support student mental health this semester. Consider giving these a shot in your classrooms!

Also, SYLLABUS ZINE REDUX!!
