An otter juggling a stone. Researchers believe this behavior may be related to hunger, as otters anticipate food and become excited.

Things that make me say “Whoa”😯😯😯

No one knew whales slept vertically until a 2008 study documented the behavior. When sperm whales need a nap, they take a deep breath, dive down about 45 feet and arrange themselves into perfectly level, vertical patterns. How did we not know for so long!?!?!? #ngss #ngsschat

@wendy__lawrence @theDRAMAgoat1 @sonoman123 Nah your universally objecting to a solution and proposing “literally anything” as a better alternative 🙄🙄 Maybe you can try and think of police as another community resource rather than perpetuating the issue.

[Matthew Shea @ScienceWithShea]

@theeMaiaKay @NDeniseR @wendy__lawrence @theDRAMAgoat1 Sure - during the scheduled hours of the day. Not just whenever you feel like it. A parent couldn’t drop their kid off on a Sunday morning at school for childcare - why would a Tuesday night be different.

@Steph4Science It sounds like you already know and you should feel shame for asking.

@FeitsBarstool choosing the @PJStock28 Bruins jersey with his #2 pick 🤯 Might not be a top 5 PJ jerz

What if we had science immersion schools where all the other subjects were designed around science...

@JessicaFGWrites @LitaJudge I’d highly recommend The Overstory by Richard Powers to fuel your obsession with trees 🌲

[Matthew Shea @ScienceWithShea]

@BlasterOfArt Totally agree. I’ve found my students who are also remote have enjoyed many of the same benefits.

@hankgreen Whoa whoa whoa! I’ve always seen the semicolon as a comma with authority “semicolon; when commas aren’t enough”

@johannabrown Close. Leeks!!

@TeachMrReed And it doesn’t make the biggest difference when my wife works in the district where we live and their school is constantly operating like ThisIsFine.gif

[Matthew Shea @ScienceWithShea]

@TeachMrReed I’ve been very lucky to have a principal that is incredibly serious and thoughtful about Covid. Of course only so much is left up to him.

[Matthew Shea @ScienceWithShea]

@BMSscienceteach Please share your progress! I could see myself being interested in doing something similar in a somewhat distant future.

@LindaTolladay @BMSscienceteach Glad I’m not the only one 😅
