Amazing quote from Mr. Joe Carey: “Math needs to be the pump bringing students into STEM instead of the filter taking them out.” 🙌🏻 @CyclonesRET #STEMeducation

@CyclonesRET @nselascience @shared_science @tjscience I’m continually having curiosity inspired in my lab! Arabidopsis has so many different uses and historically has been used to accelerate so many different facets of research!

Had a great post-@CyclonesRET PD day last night with an exclusive book chat at Dog Eared Books!! Everyone received copies of “Imagine if” by @SirKenRobinson & then our teachers were able to discuss the book bans, approaches to linking narrative & science, & more with the owners!

Amazing 3 days @IowaStateU sharing my authentic research experiences with the 24 wonderful educators engaging in authentic research as part of the 2023 @CyclonesRET cohort! Learning from @mrnhgriff @tjscience & Eric Hall was an added plus! #ImagineRet #EinsteinFellows22

What an amazing group of teachers!
