I’m about to drop my first rock sample collection on the surface of Mars. I’m setting down the scientifically compelling, curated set of rocks at “Three Forks,” a spot just at the base of the river delta I’ve been exploring. #SamplingMars

Felt that one! When a giant meteoroid struck Mars, the seismometer aboard our @NASAInSight lander sensed it – and our Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter has the visual evidence. See more about how the robotic explorers teamed up to capture the moment: https://t.co/mC5tAGHysw

After a whirlwind of training the past several months, we made it to the @Space_Station. Many more updates to come, but for now I’m just enjoying the view from on top of the world.

Even after teaching this for more than a decade, I still find new ways of presenting information to my students. Today's invention was using strips of craft foam taped to my inflatable globe to show the 3D path of air as it circulates through the atmosphere.

[UpRooted🌱 Demo OUT!! 🌱 @RootaBetaGames]

Excited to announce we'll be at imagine tomorrow! If you want to come by and play our game we'll be in the maker space on the second floor of magic and we will have stickers👀#indie #indiedev #IndieGameDev #indiegames #gamedevelopment #gamedev #game
