@MBKircher Hey MB, I am so sorry for your loss. That is a hard thing to do, but I'm sure it was the right thing to do. Relish the memories, companionship, and time spent outdoors together. I am thinking of you and Buddy.

Real change requires protest to highlight a problem, and politics to implement practical solutions and laws. As I mentioned yesterday in our @MBK_Alliance town hall, there are several steps our mayors and elected officials can take right now:

The at-home AP Exams this year will not include any multiple-choice questions, only free-response questions adapted for secure testing at home. They will measure skills that can't be learned from Google or chats with friends. By April 3, we will post the specifics for each exam.

This is the most brief and appropriate guidance I’ve seen for moving courses online quickly. Please remember that your students’ lives have all been turned upside down as well.

PSA for non-science folks: Wonder why everyone is emphasizing hand washing? Sounds banal, but soap really IS an amazing weapon that we all have in our homes. This is because coronavirus is an "enveloped" virus, which means that it has an outer lipid membrane layer.

A good teacher is not simply repeating the things that they know. A good teacher is a cognitive engineer. #aaptsm19

In the Netherlands, it's called "dropping." Groups of children are left in a forest and told to find their way back to a scouting base. Sometimes, the adults hide and make noises like a wild boar. It's safe to say the Dutch do childhood differently. https://t.co/8GX1eYp1jn

There's a growing body of research on the benefits of #gratitude. Studies have found that giving thanks and counting blessings can help people #sleep better, lower #stress and improve interpersonal relationships @maanvisings https://t.co/DLJmhhp0ta #edchat #burnout #cpchat
