Teaching CJ courses? My colleague (bestie) @AlessandraEarly & I created a “Learning In Disguise” toolkit designed to 1. Support students’ scientific literacy, 2. Stimulate critical thinking skills via active learning.

First time wearing my robes and I used the fake pocket to sneak some snacks. And, thanks to @NicoleCMcKenna, my face was plastered on the Jumbotron for 4 1/2 hours🫣🫣
