🌟 Thrilled to unveil our latest piece in @ConversationUS shedding light on the ancient history of horses in the Americas [@BruceMacFadden and myself]. Special thanks to @MaggieConvo for invaluable guidance throughout! Dive in: [https://t.co/xvVkrQ1PVb 🐎 #Paleontology

So proud of my @UFGeology Ph.D. student, Stephanie Killingsworth @mrsK_IBSCI for her first article in @ConversationUS featuring fossil horses, evolution, & her research on late-Miocene FL horses in our @UF @FloridaMuseum collections. #fossils #Horses

Congrats to my graduate student, @mrsK_IBSCI, on her first paper, published today in Paleobiology (@PaleoSoc). This analysis predicts which fossil horses occurred in FL. Studies like this show fossil horses have a long history on our continent. https://t.co/QZsEXOzUDh

Scientists reported that working with teachers changed their understanding of teaching & learning. Scientists learned how to develop lesson plans & incorporate standards, how to make opportunities for learning engaging & how to emphasize the importance of classroom management.

How do professional development programs for teachers benefit scientists?

My new case study published shows that after working with teachers, scientists improved their #Scicomm skills & had a better appreciation for #K12 teaching. Read more: https://t.co/LE8WSjQdRB

While many studies have documented how these types of programs benefit teachers, few have looked at the impact on participating scientists.

Nos verões de 2012 a 2016, o professor e curador de #paleontologia no @floridamuseum e diretor da @ufearthsystems, Bruce MacFadden (@brucemacfadden) e uma equipe de cientistas acompanharam os #professores K-12 em uma expedição para coletar fósseis ao redor do Canal do Panamá.

Yesterday completed my and @marpajuelo’s UF #BroaderImpacts grad course. Anthropology, biology, geology, education, engineering, entomology & wildlife students presented final class projects aimed at getting their science to reach broader audiences. #SciComm #SciEd #Outreach

During our recent #K12SharkAI teacher workshop we developed a #MachineLearning model to ID megalodon teeth. We tested our model to see how it would identify: Meg fragment-left, chocolate Meg-center & 3D-printed Meg-right. Which ones do you think the model IDed correctly? #AIatUF

Thank you to @UFEarthSystems @FloridaMuseum @UF_COE @UFWertheim @NSF for welcoming me into the first cohort of the #k12sharkai PD. It was such an amazing experience! Thank you to @UFteach1 for making me the #EduGator I am today! I cannot wait to bring UF SEFS to @my_pcs 🐊

[Bruce MacFadden @BruceMacFadden]

Last week’s #K12SharkAI PD was a totally awesome experience. Both teachers & scientists were highly engaged. Feeling inspired with new ideas. Innovative combination of fossil sharks & machine learning! #ScientistsinFLSchools #AIinTheSEC. Learn more: https://t.co/gp7YWu0hQ6

Bringing my @TradewindsMS students into the future of tech, today!

A cheeky #FossilFriday post at the end of my last day in Peru 🇵🇪 here is the best fossil I saw the entire PhD trip - an amazingly preserved head of C. hastalis, an ancient white shark. The whole head is preserved so well you can see where this guy’s eyes would have been! 🦈

This is us!

It is our last day @UFEarthSystems #K12SharkAI! Fast & enriching week! You can teach an old dog new tricks! 🦈🦈 @TradewindsMS @GatorAdvocates #ScientistsInFLSchools @PBCSDScience @pbcsd @southPbcsd @Tradewinds_Prin @licatap

The last day of our #K12sharkAI project was inspiring! I’m so grateful I had the opportunity to learn alongside these incredible humans. I cannot wait to see how their passion translates to student learning outcomes! I have the best job in the world! #ai4k12 #GatorAI

[Dr. Jeremy A. M. Waisome @jeremywaisome]

Our teachers trained a model using megalodon teeth. Do you think their model will think a 3D printed tooth, a real fossil shark tooth, and the chocolate tooth are all megalodon? Take the poll! #K12sharkAI
