Congrats to all the graduates!

[Mark R. Kennedy @CUMarkKennedy]

Congratulations to former @CUBoulder professor and Nobel Laureate Carl Wieman for winning the Yidan Prize in Education Research. His generous pledge will go a long way in advancing #STEM literacy. @PhysicsColorado @PhETsims

2020 has been a year like no other. We hope that you and your loved ones are safe.

For #GivingTuesday we ask your support to ensure PhET continues to be accessible to all.

If able, please donate to sustain our work & support quality #STEM education!

More old hiking pictures I found.

Evidence and research-based analysis of predictors of success in introductory physics courses make clear that success in these courses is NOT about "talent" but educational "privilege" - from our founder Carl Wieman!

Feeling lonely and bored. So here's a picture from a year or two ago that I found on my computer.

@thephysicsgirl I've recently gotten really into Stardew Valley. Not sure how that could apply. But I'm also really into Superheros and that can be a good source of physics word problems.

@SciShowTangents Since we think other species of animals can communicate with each other, do they have different languages from others of their species? Can a dolphin from one group communicate with another group?

I think this is a great idea.
Prompt: Draw an interpretation of an awesome moment in a video game. I.E. that great Pokemon battle you had.

[Hank Green @hankgreen]

But I need two things:
1. Is this a good idea?
2. Do you have prompts? They should be things that help us feel connected to others, mindful about ourselves and our world, and/or grateful.

We'll credit you in the journal if we use your prompts!

@hankgreen I had a bad injury, my knee was crying in pain.

[Kathryn Woessner @WoessnerKathryn]

@hankgreen Want to trade?

[Kathryn Woessner @WoessnerKathryn]

@hankgreen You've heard of the basilisk. Now meet the Catilisk.

@hankgreen This isn't fusion!

[Kathryn Woessner @WoessnerKathryn]

@hankgreen A lot of people don't know that the original versions of fairy tales could be horrifying. For example: Rapunzel.

@SciShowTangents I've heard that chocolate has caffeine in it, but I've never really felt that effect. How do the amounts compare to, say, a cup of coffee? #askscishow

[Kathryn Woessner @WoessnerKathryn]

@SciShowTangents When stars make heavier elements the examples are usually some of the metals and elements more common to our everyday lives, but how are the really heavy elements at the bottom of the table made? Is it the same, or more complicated?

I did not expect what happened here. @thephysicsgirl and @3blue1brown investigate smoke rings shot out of rectangular holes: https://t.co/h4IVbQ8X9i cc @donttrythis
