@katherinemsd @NUcatlr Things my students relate to…until I run my SoTL study in the fall and they all become problem solving experts!

[Marguerite Matherne @mmatherne6]

@BenWrightATL I am going to add “Bee and (legally in California) fish expert” to my CV

[Marguerite Matherne @mmatherne6]

@theoreticalwzrd I definitely do have time! I can let you know when they've filled out the survey so we can talk about what works and what doesn't :)

[Marguerite Matherne @mmatherne6]

@theoreticalwzrd Thank you! I'm happy to chat course design anytime. Especially if you're wondering how to handle online! I am surveying my students next week to find out what's working and what isn't.

[Marguerite Matherne @mmatherne6]

@theoreticalwzrd I'm teaching my first course now and can confirm that I was also SO nervous! It helped me to have my syllabus reviewed by someone in CTL, other professors. Probably the teaching center would be the best place to start - they will know all the required policies and best practices!

[Marguerite Matherne @mmatherne6]

@HungtangK @GaTech_Andrew I’ll allow it, only cause she’s so cute!

[Marguerite Matherne @mmatherne6]

@braiello @GaTech_Andrew @SICB_SPDAC @SICB_ @APSphysics @ApsDsoft @MorphoFun Thank you!! That is super helpful.

[Marguerite Matherne @mmatherne6]

@GaTech_Andrew @ApsDsoft I am grateful for the grant and excited to share my research!

[Marguerite Matherne @mmatherne6]

@theoreticalwzrd I am using Better Help. I’ve found it really helpful! It’s convenient because I can have a face to face session wherever is convenient (it’s basically like Skyping a therapist). And I can message her whenever I want/need to. I highly recommend it.

@SusannaLHarris PhDs at Georgia Tech in Mechanical Engineering make $28,200 USD per year before taxes, and we have to pay $2,776 in fees each year.

A handy tool: https://t.co/Hk40AMa5qg. You can use it to calculate whether or not you make a living wage, after fees (spoiler alert: we don't).

@GaTech_Andrew @elyse5112 @SICBtweets I don’t know how much Mauricio helped on my talk, but he would love to collaborate on the snuggling 101 seminar.

[Marguerite Matherne @mmatherne6]

@GaTech_Andrew @SICB_SPDAC The words “actor” and “semi-improv” are giving me stage fright already. I’m gonna pass on this one! But I can confirm @GaTech_Andrew dramatic tendencies 🤣. You’ll be great at this!

[Marguerite Matherne @mmatherne6]

@cambUP_maths @GeorgiaTech I submitted my abstract for @SICBtweets this week, so get ready for even more videos and some new experimental results!

[Dr Tom Crawford @tomrocksmaths]

Honey bees create a mixture of pollen and nectar that sticks to their hind legs to allow them to carry the maximum amount possible back to their hives. Incredible insight from @mmatherne6 @GeorgiaTech (and some awesome experimental videos as always).

@drdavidhu Wow that’s incredible! Add it to the list of amazing things honey bees do.

[Marguerite Matherne @mmatherne6]

@o_shishk @drdavidhu If they do feel the static electricity, it certainly has never bothered any of the cats I’ve ever had!

[Marguerite Matherne @mmatherne6]

@GaTech_Andrew @WazzuDrLaura Another reason bees are the best!

[Marguerite Matherne @mmatherne6]

@GaTech_Andrew @dbechtel23 I DID WHY DON'T YOU BELIEVE ME????

[KQED Science @KQEDscience]

It turns out honey bees aren’t just interested in honey — these hard workers bake bread by the basketful. Take a #DeepLook at bee bread, the pollen creation that serves as a bee’s main source of protein. https://t.co/ZduF60MZwz
