“It’s one thing to have statistically significant results, but another to be an inclusive leader than provides a space for people to thrive without fear of discrimination and retaliation.” Powerful words from Dr Viniece Jennings at #NAAEE2022

[Nature Connections Lab @NatureConnLab]

“As environmental educators we must consider how what we are doing compares to the level of production in our world”

Great keynote from Dr Alberto Arenas this morning at #NAAEE2022

PhD student attending first big conference, with advisor.

[Dr. Danielle Lawson @DanielleFLawson]

Another student shout-out! PhD Student Emily Hayne from @NatureConnLab led a conversation on #environmentaleducation & #trauma during @TheNAAEE #NAAEE2021

Attendees wondered: How can EE both promote & provide healing from trauma?

[Dr. Danielle Lawson @DanielleFLawson]

Proud of Amy Eldredge for representing the @NatureConnLab during her first @TheNAAEE presentation on her work on #intergenerationallearning

[PSU Pollinators @PSUPollinators]

#PollinatorWeek at Penn State: Dr. Danielle Lawson @DaniFLawson studies how intergenerational learning supports understanding of and interest in pollinator biology and conservation (https://t.co/KoiXa6hxiL) @NatureConnLab @skydayproject

@PLTinNC @NCSU_EELab @TheNAAEE So bummed we missed this!!

[Nature Connections Lab @NatureConnLab]

Intergenerational learning is so powerful! Check out this awesome research led by one of our collaborators, @JennaMHartley

[Duke Environment @DukeEnvironment]

A new study shows that after listening to student presentations or watching student-produced videos about ocean plastics pollution and other garbage in North Carolina waters, local officials and voters reported feeling greater concern about the issue. https://t.co/EtakxN5Sjj

#environmentaleducation friends! Check out this quick survey by a student trying to help our field become more culturally-responsive.

[EnviroEd@NCState @NCSU_EELab]

Calling all #EE friends! Help on a short survey to help the field become more culturally responsive.... something I know you all care about!

One of our most excellent students, Tatiana Height just launched a survey for her dissertation:

Interested in why teachers may not be able to participate in #climatechange professional development? It’s all about time, y’all. Keep an eye out for our new paper!

[Dr. Megan Ennes @AFishNamedMeg]

Our article on teachers’ perceived barriers to climate change professional development was accepted without revisions today. I can’t wait to share it and our recommendations for addressing those barriers with everyone! @Nanogail @DanielleFLawson @drktstevenson

For all our #enviromentaleducation, #recreation, & #nature loving friends - check out this awesome research out of @NCSU_EELab.

What made kids more resilient during COVID? Going outdoors!

[EnviroEd@NCState @NCSU_EELab]

@S_BrentJackson has a new paper out, and it's really good!!

Want to make sure your kids are mentally resilient in the context of COVID and beyond? Get them outside.

This message is beyond important for anyone who has gotten a #rejection lately, especially in the world of #academia, know that it does not define you! You may not get that paper accepted or an offer from your top choice grad school first time around, but just keep trying!

[Katie Mack @AstroKatie]

This is important. In #academia, there is a LOT of rejection. Even very successful academics hear “no” more often than “yes,” and criticism more often than praise. Finding strategies to take lessons from it without becoming demoralized is essential.
