Education, environment, stats, music, and sanity. But mostly education.

You definitely influenced my thinking about how the return to campus social life would go, even if it waited until summer 2022. I hope your SA colleagues were prepared and that everyone stays safe!

[Dr. Pietro A. Sasso @PietroSassoPhD]

To qualify, I think that I am more concerned with students not using protective behavior strategies and partying too much. I also worry about behavior escalation. What I wrote about last summer is finally happening now.

The decision about how to manage Beach Drive is one not just of park management, but ties to a fundamental question about who we are and what we value as a community, as a region, and as a nation.

RCC staffer & resident naturalist Lindsey found this eastern red-backed salamander at our Piney Branch mini-oasis! This often elusive amphibian is affected by Rock Creek's water quality & forest health issues - given it's pollution sensitivity, it's good to see it in the park!

After this week's upsets, you might be curious about what sort of impact a March Madness Upset might have on stuff like university admissions, fundraising, marketing and more.

There's some misinformation out there.

Let me try a little ~*~*thread~*~*~ to help clear things up

@deandad Off topic, but pulling the goalie seems more common than ever. Some teams are now doing it with 5+ minutes left of they are losing by 2 or 3!

If you'd like to hear me ask @PietroSassoPhD a few questions, here's your chance!

[United Educators @UnitedEducators]

This episode discusses alcohol misuse and abuse patterns among students, how those patterns may change for at-risk students as we emerge from the pandemic, and how risk managers can support their colleagues in student affairs. https://t.co/bbsckJYSS6

[Dr. Pietro A. Sasso @PietroSassoPhD]

This podcast was so much fun! Thank you @UnitedEducators for the opportunity to share and engage my research with others!

[Justin Kollinger @JustinKollinger]

Student alcohol use and misuse patterns are changing as we emerge from the pandemic. Thanks @PietroSassoPhD for sharing your insights with me!

[United Educators @UnitedEducators]

[New Episode] @PietroSassoPhD joins UE's @JustinKollinger to discuss alcohol misuse and abuse patterns among students, how those patterns may change for at-risk students as we emerge from the pandemic, and more. Listen now: https://t.co/50skW4ESq5

@deandad With your 1st fragment about UCSB bursting at the seams while the NE faces decline, I'm reminded of water. Western states need water and eastern states have too much; eastern states need students and western states have too many. Both are too hard to transport at scale

Several weeks ago, I had a long and thoughtful conversation with writer @stevenblum about his late mother and her data. He covered the topic beautifully here:

Our education system has come a looong way in ~175 years, but it hits hard when we've regressed in an area so deeply

[Justin Kollinger @JustinKollinger]

Crazy to read that Horace Mann, founder of public ed in the US, wrote all the way back in 1840 that students who consistently get bad grades are the result of bad teachers, not some personal inner failing of the child.

[Justin Kollinger @JustinKollinger]

It is not a new idea that all children are capable but need guidance and instruction, yet so many get written off as lost causes. Rather, the cause that gets lost is the cause of the teacher or administrator (and policy maker)

[Justin Kollinger @JustinKollinger]

@thecla923 @EDAnalyst @kevinrmcclure @kevincarey1 Thanks for pulling that up! Business and education generally have a more direct path to higher salary than pre-masters, but that's only a slice of the total masters discussion
