Groundhog Punxsutawney Phil made his prediction this morning for #GroundhogDay. Watch as our adorable 3-year-old hedgehog, Tacoma Kennedy, predicts an early spring or longer winter. Happy National #HedgehogDay! 🦔

One of the ways Rochelle gives back is by spearheading TPU Academy. This is the second year our employees have taught kids from the Boys & Girls Club about #STEM careers.

Here's to future scientists...future FABULOUS scientists!

Come on #Tacoma - Let's get water smart:

[Tacoma Public Utilities @MyTPU]

Think you might have a leak? There's an easy way to find out. Turn off your taps & appliances and take a look at your water meter. If the low-flow indicator (small triangle or wheel) is still moving, you probably have a leak. #FixaLeak

[Tacoma Public Utilities @MyTPU]

Hello from Tacoma, WA! From the snowy Cascade Mountains to the deep Puget Sound, we care about water and encourage you to #FixaLeak this week.

[Tacoma Public Utilities @MyTPU]

We're excited to talk to 5th graders tomorrow at the Tacoma Children's Water Festival! Thanks to @PierceCo Conservation District for organizing and @univpugetsound for hosting. What a great way to celebrate #FixaLeak week in our community!

[Tacoma Public Utilities @MyTPU]

Unexplained puddle in your yard? It might be a leak in your irrigation system. #FixaLeak before the summer, so you can save on your utility bill now AND later!

[Tacoma Public Utilities @MyTPU]

...grab the paddle and go. Reserve your #PNWSummer today.

We’ve made getting to #MayfieldLake this summer easier than ever with our new Tacoma Power Parks reservation system. Visit https://t.co/vyBhcS0Ba3 or call [phone] and get ready to relax!

"Don't talk to me about 'brain-based learning.' As opposed to what? Kidney-based learning!?" This gem and also lots of practical culturally responsive teaching advice from Zaretta Hammond, @Ready4rigor, today at the @WWNAEC1 conference.

Given some recent conversations, I thought I would pull together some thoughts and resources related to the science & engineering practices in the NRC Framework / #NGSS vision into a thread. #NGSSchat
