#EinsteinFellows23 Look into Plant the Moon challenge! 🌱🌑 it’s a global science experiment and research challenge to examine how vegetable crops can grow in lunar or Martian soil.

Let's talk about building connections for students, from the ISS to Artemis. What mentorship programs are available that connect students with professionals in the space industry? Tag some of your favorites #EinsteinFellows23

We’re excited to see the new @WonkaMovie.
The @librarycongress recently acquired the papers of Leslie Bricusse who wrote the songs for the original “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory” film.
Here’s his notes for “The Candy Man.” 🍭 🍫

Had an amazing time at NSTA this past week, presenting on using the @librarycongress primary resources in science teaching and recruiting future @EinsteinFellows applicants!

[Beth A. White, Ph.D. @BethAWhitePhD1]

Good morning #NSTA23! Come see us in booth 2032 to learn more about how you can #ApplyNow to become an .@AEF_Program Fellow next year!

Thousands of George Washington’s papers are digitized and freely available on the @librarycongress website! What will you find?

[Kelsey Beeghly @kelseyginoriphd]

What was middle school math like for George Washington? A problem in his workbook @librarycongress reads, “admit a gath [winepress] whose bung [bottom of barrel] is 37 in., head diameter 34 and length 41 in.; what’s of content [thereof] in wine measure?”

Notice how in his original answer he accidentally wrote “approximately 101 gallons of beer”, but he crossed off “beer” and correctly wrote “wine”. Even future presidents make mistakes! https://t.co/bnMHxVmmXG

@AEF_Program #EinsteinFellows23 mentorship and science teacher education have been valuable parts of my leadership path 👣

[AEF Program @AEF_Program]

When the #Einsteinfellows23 are at @TeachingLC we learn from primary sources about George Washington’s barn, Samuel Morse’s telegraph, a letter to Carl Sagan, and a Ferris wheel with @kelseyginoriphd

@AEF_Program #EinsteinFellows23 seeking out feedback for ways you can improve as a leader and acknowledging that there is always room for growth

[Kelsey Beeghly @kelseyginoriphd]

@AEF_Program #EinsteinFellows23 a positive attitude goes a long way!

My first blog post as this year’s Einstein fellow at the Library of Congress is out! https://t.co/cxx6pU0Ads

[Kelsey Beeghly @kelseyginoriphd]

@AEF_Program typically I go into my office at the library of Congress, explore, create, and share ideas for promoting primary source use in the science classroom! In the evenings and weekends, I try to check out new places in DC. #EinsteinFellows23

[Kelsey Beeghly @kelseyginoriphd]

@AEF_Program the fellowship encourages you to pursue professional and personal opportunities, and through these you can make connections and learn new things! #EinsteinFellows23

[Kelsey Beeghly @kelseyginoriphd]

@AEF_Program #EinsteinFellow23 I heard about it from googling “science education fellowships”, and made sure to read my application many times to be confident it was the best representation of myself!
