A child dies from #malaria every two minutes.
One death is one too many.

Retreat Day 2 is in motion! The leads are busy brainstorming how to make our STEP UP Summit on July 17 the best it can be. ๐๐ฝ๐คฉ
Advocates! Have you set up your countdown calendars yet!?
While our appreciation for these teachers doesn't end here, we wanted to close #teacherappreciationweek by thanking our Ambassadors who make STEP UP what it is. Thank you for believing in us and striving for equity in physics.
Teachers, Instructors, Educators. This school year has been tough for many of us. Your tenacity, strength, adaptability and dedication to your students and the profession is inspiring. We can't thank you enough for all you continually do. Tag a teacher you'd like to thank below!
Todayโs #WIPWednesday features past Social Hour guest Barbara Billington! While her focus is not entirely in physics she is dedicated to Science Education teaching at @UMNews as well as a researcher/writer on @PBS's @SciGirls to bring equitable teaching practices to classrooms.
In case you missed it, we're putting on an art tech competition to highlight Florida talent and creativity :)

Good News! The Advocate application deadline has been extended to April 9! At STEP UP we are a collaborative effort that strives for equity in physics and a diverse community of physics teachers. Don't miss this opportunity to create cultural change in your classrooms.
Twitter we need your help! STEP UP is trying hard to have all states be represented in the Advocate Program. If you know any HS Physics teachers who would be great advocates in any of these states (see map), tag them below! Applications due April 2nd https://t.co/z8Tg2tHD4L
Who said physicists weren't fabulous? The Hollywood actress Hedy Lamar kept science close, eventually helping WWII allies and co-inventing an early form of spread spectrum communication technology used in wireless communications today! #WIPWednesday#WomensHistoryMonth
Happy #WIPWednesday! Today we celebrate Dr. Maggie Aderin-Pocock, the first black woman to win the @PhysicsNews 2020 William Thomson, Lord Kelvin Medal "for her public engagement in physics." As a researcher & author, she works to make kids excited about science through space! ๐ซ
