Let's talk about Ernest Everett Just, a cell biologist who unraveled the mysteries of fertilization in spite of the obstacles he faced as an African-American.

Just's story weaves together good, rigorous science with racism & tragedy.

He was born in 1883 in seaside Charleston, South Carolina.

Teaching without slides – just diagrams and dialogue – we co-constructed these models this week:
Year 7: Allen's rule
Year 10: Lung ventilation
IB1: Positive feedback drivers of climate change
IB2: Viral evolution
I explain how to teach this way in #DifferenceMaker #EnactingSystemsTheory

I’m making nametags for my “Wnt Dance” activity tomorrow in the #DevelopingFutureBioligists (@DFB_UM of twixter) short-course, where the students will act out Wnt signal transduction in class.

My daughter asked if she could have the “My Name Is Disheveled” nametag lmao
(I made her one)

Alrght everybody, get your Tin Can Telephones out. We need your help!

We reach new people by word of mouth. Send all your educator friends this pic! Teachers, librarians, scout troop leaders, etc! We offer our program for free, so we need help getting the word out without advertising $$.

Years ago, I wrote a paper with an undergrad in the lab [Amy Strom, who is now a postdoc at Princeton] about using the game of Mastermind* to teach logic, experimental design and data interpretation.

*Wordle is a variant of Mastermind

Biologists who teach: in what order do you teach the four forces of evolution? Genetic drift first or selection first? And I'm still struggling to smoothly fit in HWE so that its utility is emphasized (students focus so much on how likely it is that assumptions are violated).

In the Domain of Intentional Food, the Kingdom of Prepared Recipes, the Phylum of Lunch/Snacks and the Order of Hand Foods, there are Five Families of combinatory dishes.

A) Pattymeltidae
B) Hoagidae
C) Burritidae
D) Pierogidae
E) Pizzidae

Each is named for my favorite representative thereof.

Really happy with this model we coenacted today.
They spotted the positive feedback immediately.
