As @educatordeb and @philiplbell write in this month's @NSTA Next Gen Navigator on Social Justice-Centered Science Teaching and Learning, science education can be used to support more just, sustainable, and culturally thriving futures.

No natter what someone may try to make you believe, there are many more good people than bad.

Now isn’t the time to care about the grades but the well being of our students!

[Ms.Bates @MsBates8]

How can we best support our students and working parents at this time? I believe communication is key, reach out to your students and their families, offer resources, your time, and expertise in best educating all learners!

[Ms.Bates @MsBates8]

Next up! Inspired by the retro Clue movie I’ve picked up some board games! Connect four, jenga, scrabble, and banana gram are great two person games but can expand for more! Play via video chat to over come social distancing!

[Ms.Bates @MsBates8]

#1 sign up for the streaming service Crackle, it’s free and full of great movies! I plan on watching GATTACA, Little Women (original), and Clue The Movie!

[Ms.Bates @MsBates8]

However if you want to be slightly less productive or need a break/some fun I’ve been working on a list of ideas!

[Ms.Bates @MsBates8]

I know many of us have been sent home from our schools and places of work to minimize the transmission of the corona virus. Take this opportunity to do all the productive things at home you always wish you had time for!

[Ms.Bates @MsBates8]

Will the corona virus epidemic be comparable to that of the Spanish flu?

[Dena Grayson, MD, PhD drdenagrayson.bsky.social @DrDenaGrayson]

👇🏼Agree. One silver lining is that #COVID19 hit our shores towards the end of flu/#coronavirus season.

But as I've warned, expect cases to surge in the Southern Hemisphere (Apr-Sept), followed by a 2nd, MUCH LARGER wave next Fall, similar to the 1918 Spanish Flu #pandemic.

[Ms.Bates @MsBates8]

Today I observed a colleague’s class, his students led an indepth & impressive seminar on the theme of change & continuity in US history. The students posed productive discussions questions & challenged one another! Can we bring this to science? #letstudentslead #getrealscience

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Michelle and I are sending our prayers to those affected by the severe storms in Tennessee, especially to those who lost loved ones. Our hearts are with you and the first responders working so diligently to protect the vibrant communities of Nashville.

Living Environment with Ms. Bates! Heading into my second full week student teaching and I couldn’t be more excited!

[Ms.Bates @MsBates8]

Currently my inspiration for my final project in my genetics unit! Check out the video below? Do you want to live forever why or why not? #GetRealSci https://t.co/PENHeoHGF7

[Ms.Bates @MsBates8]

How often do you stop to think about the environment? This speech from the Oscars urges us to reconnect with our living environment and make a change for the better. What change will you make? #GetRealSci https://t.co/tF5oWtL3Ds

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

Decades of corporate trade have devastated our manufacturing base, killing millions of blue-collar jobs.

A Green New Deal ends that. We will create millions of good, union jobs to manufacture renewable energy, increase energy efficiency, and rebuild our infrastructure.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Thirty years on, I remember the hope we all felt watching Mandela’s release from prison. The gift of a new way of seeing. The chance to participate in the work of building a better world. The ultimate example of perseverance and faith for each new generation to follow.
