Release from yesterday: @TeachPlusCA Announces 2022-2023 Cohort of Policy Fellows #caedu https://t.co/I5avKPw5Ep

@snappity The west coast delay ran smoothly. About an hour in the queue and I was able to get 2 nosebleed, but good visibility (center stadium) for $100 each before fees for Friday night. (Cheapest was $84). Fees were "only" $30.

[Allyn Olsen @_AllynOlsen]

@snappity PCT delayed sales until 3pm.

@Null82415144 @FlyAwayRen @hankgreen Geriatric millineal HS psych teacher and mom of a 3rd, 7th g. kids weighing in here: that study was probably elem. school HW, which is different HS or college, & pre-internet days. Everyone needs to practice info retrieval, but it's going to look different across age/subjects.

[Allyn Olsen @_AllynOlsen]

@Notawful Same, $100 before fees if I can get Friday or Saturday in LA would be ideal. (There's 5 LA shows! College kids can go to Tuesday night.)

[Allyn Olsen @_AllynOlsen]

@Notawful "Between $49 and $449" before fees, VIP packages ranging from $199- $899" per various news articles (USA today)

@F_Morales_Calva spoke to us about her memory research and gave some great advice to @SUHSD_STEAM students at #SfN22 #appsych #psychisscience #intropsych #appsy #mujeresinstem #suhsd

[Allyn Olsen @_AllynOlsen]

#4 Intro psych can do better with accurately representing the need for non-human animal research. Rethinking the focus on the dark past of Harry Harlow's monkeys and replacing it with more of an optimistic future of purposeful research design that involves animals. #SfN22

3. There's something called the "breakfast table effect" that predicts kids go into similar careers as their parents. #sfn22 may be a little seed that opens up the world of careers beyond what my students might consider as career options, and there is a lot out there.

2. You belong here. Science wants you here. You are capable of learning anything you need to learn, and don't let anyone (including your own thoughts) tell you otherwise. People are willing to answer your questions and get excited about sharing knowledge. Show up. #SfN22

[Allyn Olsen @_AllynOlsen]

A few thoughts as a high school AP psychology teacher chaperoning 2 students at #SfN22.
1. So many people stressed you don't have to pick a science, but know how to Science. Plenty of people shared that they started in chem or electrical engineering and then found Neuro.

Thank you to Nancy Mariscal for taking time out of her busy day to answer questions about what a #schoolpsychologist does as part of the Psi Alpha guest speaker series at Hilltop High. We will highlight careers in psych last Thursday of every month. #suhsdpsych #psialpha #APpsych

I'm prepping for this next school year with #leadingedgeflex professional development. I'm most excited about bringing in adaptive and accessible tech for my students.

@Radiolab You need to follow up and make a bonus episode of #DollyPartonsAmerica

[Yashar Ali 🐘 @yashar]

To see Dolly’s name in this vaccine tracker makes me so happy.

Are you interested in a commemorative t-shirt for the year? Order link in the bio, order by April 30th! @ Hilltop High School https://t.co/m8YeQUrotZ

[Trevor Packer @AP_Trevor]

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.
