Anybody who’s at 4S—come join our workshop today at 12:30 in Room 328! We’re sharing about decolonjal science with @biojamcamp and highlighting one hands-on activity. Come make a clear root ecosystem with a local endangered tree, the Wiliwili! 🌱 @CorinneTakara

First day bonding activities with #biojamcamp teens at Rancho Cielo! The teens along with Stanford students and Migrant Ed instructors toured milpa gardens and painted alebrijes.

I'm defending my PhD May 9th at 2:30 PM PST!

Join me in exploring the benefits of riparian reforestation in Costa Rica, human/bird relationships in community gardens, justice and access to nature in cities!

Honored to have accepted first place poster prize at @ComSciCon on behalf of @biojamcamp. Amazing to see how people resonated with our mission of reimagining science communication towards social and environmental justice.

This is a thread about the folks that make it happen! 🧵

In Day 8 of #BioJamCamp, we were joined by @Stanford professor Rodolfo Dirzo to discuss Latin American leadership in #conservation and #sustainability.

On day 12 of #biojamcamp, teens taught a Kratky hydroponics workshop for #migrant elementary and middle school students. Kids got to take home their own hydroponics set-up with a live plant! 🌱

BioJam started in 2019 in-person in the teaching lab with @CorinneTakara and @RCPerez84. This is our first return since the pandemic!

[BioJam Camp @biojamcamp]

Thank you to @jennbrophy7, @RossVenook, @BrianaMartinV and the Uytengsu Bioengineering Teaching Lab @Stanford for sharing your work with #biojamcamp teens on day 10 of camp!

[BioJam Camp @biojamcamp]

#biojamcamp is partially funded by generous support by @StanfordEthics Ethics, Society, and Technology (EST) Hub.

[BioJam Camp @biojamcamp]

#biojamcamp teens taught a demo workshop about #aquaponics with take-away #infographics and kits for @Stanford students, faculty, and staff that teens were teaching. ✨Trying to reverse the flow of power in the production & dissemination of scientific knowledge! 🧪🌱✊🏾

[BioJam Camp @biojamcamp]

@ISSUESinST do you spot a copy of the spring magazine in the arms of Anne Newman, the research director of @StanfordEthics?

[BioJam Camp @biojamcamp]

Appreciated the lab tours by @DanixParejaM and @LOB_SU to see the incredible frogs and toads 🐸🪰! The teens were so excited to hold a toad and learn about your amazing research during day 10 of #biojamcamp

[BioJam Camp @biojamcamp]

Thank you @DanixParejaM and @LOB_SU for hosting our teens and showing us your INCREDIBLE frogs 🐸! It was amazing for the teens to see science in action (and sometimes hopping out of our hands!).

[BioJam Camp @biojamcamp]

In Day 9 of #biojamcamp, teens visited @Stanford! They enjoyed the dining hall, touring campus, and staying overnight in a dorm.

[BioJam Camp @biojamcamp]

In Day 8 of #BioJamCamp, teens learned about Mesoamerican chinampas (a type of #aquaponics) and #hydroponics. Led by @l3fty112 and Melissa Ortiz, teens made their own tabletop versions to share and teach! Curriculum developed by @Xinampa_Bio. 🌱🌊🐌

[BioJam Camp @biojamcamp]

In Day 7 of #biojamcamp, @l3fty112 and Melissa Ortiz led teens to @SalinasLuggers garden in #NatividadCreekPark (#Salinas) to learn about gardening 🌽, composting 🌎, and the power of worms 🪱! (We also used @TeamFoldscope #foldscope!)

[BioJam Camp @biojamcamp]

In Day 7 of #biojamcamp, teens visited the Johnson Canyon Landfill (@svswa) to learn about local waste streams and sustainability.

[BioJam Camp @biojamcamp]

And not to forget the toads too!!

[Daniela Pareja Mejía (ella/she/her) @DanixParejaM]

Today at the @LOB_SU we had students from the @biojamcamp visiting our frog’s rooms! I love sharing my passion for frogs and research with students! They were curious and loved the frogs and toads 💚🐸 We then attended their workshop on hydroponic plants 🌱#outreach #steam
