Rough teaching day. Got up early to get in and make copies. Copiers have a line, then keep jamming. No copies made. Computer has no internet, all materials saved on One Drive. Still made it work and let kids know my mood is not them.

@bunsenbernerbmd I love Beaker! and Goldens. Thinking of getting one when I can have a dog next year. If you have the time, could you please tell me how much shedding Beaker does? Is it constant, or just periodic? Thanks!!

@ChrisExpTheNews Its amazing how many things make much more sense when you realize the limitations of measurements and technology of the time.

Getting prepared both physically and mentally for our first day back as teachers. Campus first, then running district PD for upper science. Plenty of work and the Sunday scariest are lurking.

Digesting the sessions from @ChemEd2025. From @chemistrykit and his keynote. 3 ways to spark interest. Ask a Q. Tell me something new. Or tell a story- "once upon a time"

@sage_stage With your new gig, its going to be hard to be on time as the volunteer wrestling coach. Good luck!

@ninahike06 @ChemEd2025 @ChemEdX @803freshsc Yall are amazing!

425+ chemistry educators from across the country choose to spend 5 days of their summer jamming out to all things chemistry education in Golden CO at @ChemEd2025

It’s a gift that this exists, and I am grateful for the wonder of teaching with them, even miles apart.

@ChemEd2025 Great run. Except maybe that last hill. Blaster was very accommodating. Volunteers were great! Thank you!

[Michael Weir @WeirdChem]

@SomaBis52133092 @ChemEd2025 I agree. Registration was easy, other than the hill! Everyone was so helpful. Looking forward to tomorrow!!

@VinceBoley Encourage listening in the followup. What did your partner say that was really good? If I notice a pair not talking, ill warn them that I will call on them.

@chessdojo Already being included in esports at scholastic level. More common way to play, low barrier to enter. Just another step in broadening the demographic. HS chess coach and dojo member

@heymrsbond Sometimes YOU are the safe space.

[Michael Weir @WeirdChem]

@KatyDornbos Yes. But I call Hbonding a subcategory of dipole dipole. Just learned that some people include ion-Hbonding, which is weird to me

@zora_dawn @7thgenFLMan @chris_mukiibi @SciInTheMaking Arithmetic. Fractions. Algebra. Logic. Reading and writing (answer the question asked). Some abstract reasoning and geometry- but we do teach most of that.
