One of Isaac’s at home learning suggestions from his teacher this week. I’ve literally been training for years to help with this project. Not sure which one of us is more excited...just kidding it’s me😍 🐜 🐞 🦋 🐝 #athomelearning #scienceclass #entomology #bugsarecool

@StephenBHeard I swear I’m not picturing myself burning lab equipment 🔥 🔬 😂

[Jen Anderson 🐞🐝🐜🐛 @jennla10]

While flaming and burning have quite similar meanings, saying you flamed your lab equipment and saying you burned your lab equipment give very different mental images 🔥

Had an early #Easter #egghunt this morning with Isaac.

Him: How many eggs are there supposed to be Mom?
Me: I don’t know egg-zactly 😏
Him: You’re really starting to egg-ravate me 😒

Trying to gauge where I should begin at home science education with my 10-year old.
Me: “Have you guys talked about ecosystems at school yet?”
Him: “No I don’t think so.”
Me: “What about food chains?”
Him: “Oh! You mean like Subway?”

Feels great to realize that being a PhD student doesn’t mean you can still do 4th grade long division 😭😓 #useitorloseit #homeschooling #COVIDー19

CFIA has a handy feature where you can click on a citation on their site and it takes you right to the citation in the references list....very handy!Good thing this one is only cited 19 times on this page...😒 #thesiswriting #phdlife

First year bio students did Lumbricus sp. dissections this week. Isaac asked me to take a photo of a dissected worm. We had lots of leftovers so I said “I’ll do you one better” #raisedbyscientists #dissection
