¡Vamos! 🙌

@FralinLifeSci recently hosted Kids’ Tech University, connecting families in the area to STEM activities and demonstrations. This time, Virginia Tech students volunteered to offer the program entirely in Spanish.

What a wonderful way to conclude Graduate Education week! Our @VTGradCommunity volunteered several hours to create an interactive and inclusive experience for Kids' Tech participants! @FralinLifeSci

Of course we had to catch our @VTGradCommunity students in action at Kids' Tech University! They are taking time today to share knowledge with 9-12 year olds through S.T.E.M. engagement! @FralinLifeSci

Fireworks are a staple for many Fourth of July celebrations, but did you know they can release a potpourri of hazardous chemicals into the environment? Consider using alternatives like LED flares and drone shows this fourth! #SUSciComm

UB is a bike-friendly university! I’ve taken advantage of free winter storage and spring tune-up events, as well as the bike repair stations around campus (https://t.co/M3nO7Klxp1). I fixed my flat this week and I’m back to riding fast and furious and #EmissionLESS!#365challenge

Since UB switched to spit tests, I have been instructed to recycle the clam shell container that the spit collector comes in. I instructed the testing personnel that it is actually not recyclable, and they were very appreciative! Emailing UB EHS next! #365Challenge #SpreadTheWord

@DrJDAtkinson I know I’m a little early for this week’s #SpreadTheWord challenge, but I couldn’t wait! I just donated to #TeamTrees which plants a tree for every dollar donated. You can donate too at https://t.co/74V8YjbKkj!#EarthMonth #365challenge

@DrJDAtkinson One man’s trash is another man’s treasure! I’m using one of my roommate’s cardboard boxes as a “sun shield” for my laptop while I do work outside on this be-YOO-tiful day! #365challenge #wasteLESS

@DrJDAtkinson I forgot that the heater needs to turn on more than once a day to maintain the same temp. At last week’s temps, I believe the heat needed to kick on about 3x/day to keep the apartment at 68°F. So triple my previous estimate to 3.5 lightbulbs running for 24 hrs!

[Clayton Markham @ClaytonMarkham]

I was able to convince my roommate to #DropTheHeat 1°F this wk! @DrJDAtkinson wanted to know what the energy savings would be. For my apartment, dropping 1°F for 1 wk saves about 1.17 kWh, a little more than the daily energy required by an incandescent lightbulb. #365challenge

Idk how much shorter my #shortshowers can get so I’ll share my secrets: 1) only run water to rinse 2) slowly decrease frequency (I shower every 3 days, and I can promise I don’t smell)...it’s better for your hair! 3) use dry shampoo to get one more day

I’m proud to say I’ve been pescatarian for six months now! I made some gallo pinto this morning, the national dish of Costa Rica. Did you know that eating a cup of beans a day adds 3-4 years to your life expectancy? ¡Qué chiva! #365challenge #nomeatweek @DrJDAtkinson
